BLACKBERRY HONEY MANICURE
Spa-goers looking for a summery sweet solution to unsightly
hands and nails will love the Blackberry Honey Manicure ($55,
50 minutes) at Kelly’s Spa at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa
(Riverside, CA). A treatment for those with overworked PDA
fingers and a natural way to enjoy fresh ingredients, the session
begins with a cup of organic tea. After the treatment area is
spritzed with Cuccio Naturalé’s Milk & Honey Scentual Spa Elixir,
hands are soaked in a bowl filled with warm water and a Honey
Effervescent Ball. Old polish is removed, and nails and cuticles
are trimmed and shaped as needed. Hands and arms are then
exfoliated with a freshly made blend of dried blackberries, Kelly’s
Spa Italian honey, and raw brown sugar. The scrub is wiped away
with a warm towel, and Cuccio’s Milk & Honey Butter Blend and
PerfectSense’s Paraffin are applied to both hands and allowed
to penetrate the skin. The paraffin is removed, a blackberry-scented lotion is applied, and nails are polished, leaving guests
with berry fragrant and fabulous fingers. For Cuccio Naturalé
