How To Bliss Out In Miami—And In The Shower

I recently had the pleasure of taking a hardhat tour of the soon-to-be-open Bliss spa in South Beach’s W hotel. That pleasure didn’t include getting any treatments, but you can bet I’ll be back in just a few weeks to experience the chic, three-floor facility’s many offerings. Even though the top floor is an amazing treatment-only oasis, and the second is a beachy, futuristic place to pamper, I think I was most impressed with the first floor. Right behind the check-in and retail area is a hidden pod where those who need a quick wax can hop in and get de-haired in a jiffy. Genius! But being the infallible shopper that I am, I also love the first floor because that’s where all the products will be. That includes the new fabulous foaming body wash, which I nearly had a heart attack when seeing. Their fabulous foaming face wash is my all time favorite cleanser—like, ever—so to be able to share that goodness with the rest of my body is a tiny little dream come true. The body wash takes my beloved formula to the next level with exfoliating lactic and citric acids to give a gentle boost to its buffing beads. The smell is heavenly, like its predecessor’s, so I know I’m already addicted. In fact, when I go back to the new Bliss spa at the W, I will probably insist on them using it in my chosen treatment—even if it’s a brow wax.
