A day at the spa is a fabulous way to unwind and recharge, but for those looking for something beyond traditional services, a few Seattle spas have upped the ante with new innovations.
Habitude Salon and Day Spa (Ballard, 2801 NW Market St.; 206.782.2898) founder Inez Gray recently introduced Spa Canna: a massage that incorporates lotions made with cannabidiol—a substance derived from cannabis and commonly known as CBD—to induce deep relaxation and improve symptoms related to joint inflammation. The therapeutic experience uses non-psychotropic products from Denver-based body care line Apothecanna.
Antonio Spa (114 Virginia St.; 206.448.2684), the new offshoot of Belltown-based Antonio Salon, offers a contemporary open-floor concept with appointments taking place behind ceiling-high curtains. “Sometimes going to the spa can be an ordeal,” says co-owner Masumi Hill, “so we created a space that is approachable and open that still offers private spaces for our clients.” We recommend the OxyGeneo facial, an oxygen-infused treatment that restores skin volume, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and tightens pores.
We’ve all tried to dream up ways to complete a workout without going to the gym. The Infrared Pod, offered exclusively in Greater Seattle at Penelope and the Beauty Bar (downtown, 411 University St.; 206.438.1750), might be as close as we get. A single session of lying in the jade-lined pod, which acts similarly to a sauna, supposedly burns around 400 calories. Other benefits include reduced stress, increased cardiovascular conditioning and clearer pores.

Moxie on Monday: The Antidote to Exhaustion Isn’t What You Think
Maybe you don’t need more rest. Maybe you need more heart.
Burnout is real. It can also be a tricky devil, misleading us into believing that what we need is more rest. I believe it’s something else altogether. The antidote to exhaustion is living life with more gusto and gumption. You know, jumping in with both feet rather than tippy-toeing in from the sidelines? Life’s a…

Some things grow best in the dark
We live in a world that celebrates the loud, the visible, the shared. Social media turns our lives into highlight reels, with ideas and dreams posted before they’ve even taken root.

It could have been the fact that I was lounging in a comfy recliner, staring out of the open-air room at the Four Seasons Resort Maui, in Hawaii, listening to birds chirping, surrounded by exotic plants and palm trees. Perhaps it was the calming outrigger canoe ride I had taken from the shores of Wailea…
