All lathered up--in sweet, dark chocolate

Yes, you can do it. Close your eyes and lose yourself in a luscious dark-chocolate facial at The Spa at Equinox Fitness for the ultimate V-Day indulgence.  But wait, they're actually giving it away to one lucky Valentine. Yes, really.  Sign up at Bethesda Row by February 14 to register for a chance to win this hydrating, bittersweet treat. Or just go get one. You're worth it and it totally refutes that annoying saying: "A minute on the lips forever on the hips." Not.

CityShopGirl Wows Fans at Mayflower Hotel

By 5:45 p.m. when I arrived at the Mayflower Hotel in DC, a line snaked through the lobby as CityShopGirl online subscribers queued up to enter an event that site founder Kelly Collis Fredrick put on just for them. “Two hundred people came through the door,” Kelly says. “There was a waitlist of 300.”  Kelly, dressed for the event in a Proenza Schouler skirt, provided attendees with complimentary mini manicures, makeovers by Beauty 360, massages by Relax and Rejuvenate and hairstyles by Salon Cielo. Kelly’s friend Dr. Lauren Gavaris (a Holton Arms school grad like Kelly) was on hand to give information about the new eyelash product, Latisse. Bartenders mixed cocktails at two bars and there were also plenty of nibbles—mushroom truffle dip, olive tapenade, breads, little marinated onions and more.  Everyone got to leave with a gift bag, a new hairstyle, a massage, fresh makeup and great nails.  Here are highlights from this VERY fun event:
