Chocolate Massage or Body Wrap For Brides

For chocolate loving brides a great idea for your bridesmaids' gifts (or just a relaxing gift for yourself after all the stressful wedding planning) is a hot chocolate massage or hot chocolate body wrap at Breathe Salon Fitness Spa located in the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. 

If you choose the massage or body wrap you begin your day of luxury with a delicious cup of hot cocoa with whipped cream and luscious marshmallows.  If that's not enough, the massage therapist uses heated chocolate oils that you can choose to combine with other scents (maybe raspberry or strawberry?) which will tease all your senses during your massage.  Or you can choose the body wrap to smooth and buff your body and then have your body lathered with chocolate cream, wrapped you in a thermal blanket and finished off with a chocolate smelling rub down. Are you in heaven yet?

After these luscious treatments you can head to their gym and use their lap pool, cadio center, steam room or sauna.  What more can any woman ask for?  Just call the Breathe Spa for a day of chocolate luxury.

Gifts for Your Bridesmaids

Avoid the ho-hum of the usual totes for your bridesmaids and try these sterling silver Juliet bracelets with a pretty floral pattern that has been oxidized to make it pop and give it a worn feel. The bracelets don't close all the way in the back so if you have a maid with a larger wrist they should easily fit.  Bracelets are made to order so it you need one larger you can talk to the artist.  Another Etsy find at Punky Bunny's store.
