Right before you feel the “bridezilla” seeping from your pores we suggest making an appointment at Divinity to “de-bride” and de-stress. Relaxing is one of the best ways to make you look your best on your special day. But with all the overseeing of details we know it’s hard to find the time to just relax. So when you set the date for the wedding, call Divinity and set the date for your day of pampering! You will thank us for this suggestion later. (Bella Hint #2: Come the week before your event for any skin care treatments.)


This Aveda Lifestyle salon and spa is unlike any other spa around. It truly rivals spas found in bigger cities—and even renowned resorts known worldwide for their spas. They can do everything you’d need for looking your best from head to toe. Their soothing, pampering environment will help your stress disappear. We went to Divinity for our treatments with the intent of showing you a few options in “de-stressing” before the big day. (Yes, it was hard work, but we “suffered” and are here to report to you what we learned.)

Joey had the Caribbean Therapy Body Treatment and their signature Green Science Facial.

The Caribbean Treatment consists of rigorous exfoliation of your entire body with a scented salt scrub, a seaweed body wrap to help soften your skin and remove toxins and it’s all washed off with their Vichy (vee-shee) Rain Shower… followed with full body massage. And it’s as great as it sounds.

The Vichy rain shower is a multi-head shower that sprays pressure points and other areas of your body at once while you are lying down. In case you’re wondering, you are discreetly covered and at no point are you ever just laying there exposed. (You can wear a bathing suit or underwear if you feel more comfortable, but honestly, that will be more of a nuisance than anything.) It’s an unbelievable treatment and we highly recommend it. The entire procedure lasts two hours! (Joey: “Of all spa treatments I’ve ever had in any spa ANYWHERE, the Caribbean Therapy Body Treatment at Divinity is THE BEST ONE. Period.”)

The other service Joey tried was the Aveda Green Science facial that treats signs of aging with their clinically proven plant-based skin care and high touch skin rejuvenation techniques. The Green Science line is their most aggressive and her skin was glowing and radiant as soon as Sara was finished. The Green Science line is an amazing group of natural products and to have them professionally applied along with their deep cleansing masques and facial massages is quite a treat.

Amy went for the Rosemary Mint Awakening Body Wrap and also had the Euphoric Hot Stone Massage.

“Ok for the record, the Hot Stone Massage was the best massage I have ever had! The heat and pressure, combined with Aveda’s famous rituals, made for the perfect experience! I loved the Rosemary Mint Wrap, because I’m in love with the fragrance… it made my skin so smooth and invigorated!”

Take the time for yourself (or bring your spouse-to-be along too) and enjoy Divinity. A wonderful spa located right here in our region! (It’s just off Route 460 and I-81 so you can conveniently get to it from anywhere.)
