Rennaisance Hotels’ Skinny-Mini Berry Mojito
Unwind on a hot day (…or any day) with this delicious drink from Renaissance Hotels! Omit the rum to make it a spa cocktail, and use any berry you like.
We checked out the trendy ELLE Spa at the Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel in South Beach, the first ever ELLE Spa (by ELLE Magazine), last year and loved it. Read about our experience.
Ska:ná: the Spa at Turning Stone’s Strawberry Water
Ska:ná: the Spa at Turning Stone‘s Strawberry Water celebrates the Strawberry Ceremony, which signifies thanksgiving of all berries and new life birth and the Maple Ceremony signifying the coming of the life giving season after the harsh winter.
