Multitasking at Spa La La
Love of Spa La La (234 NE 28th Avenue, 503-233-2106) is one of my poorly kept secrets. It’s the perfect place for a bit of relaxation and refreshing of spirits.
My weakness? Their deluxe pedicures. It includes a spa soak, mini-massage, and a complete foot pampering and polish. My toes have never had it so good.
I think of Spa La La as a clubhouse for the girls — very bright, welcoming interior, a wide variety of personal care services, and a cute selection of boutique items. The service is top notch and reasonably priced. Can’t get any better than that! Enjoy a mimosa while you get your pedicure, and sometimes a nice spread of brunch items to nosh on while you get pampered. Kamberly runs a great shop.
Spa La La is also available for private parties, and I’ve already promised my June houseguests that they will be kidnapped for a morning of girly goodness.
Last weekend I had a wedding and a bridal shower to attend on the same day, and I wanted to give gift certificates to Spa La La. As I was putting together an outfit that would be appropriate for both social functions, I realized that my toenails were in no shape to wear the cute strappy sandals that would be perfect with my outfit. 2 hours until the party started. Aaron needed the car to run some errands. What’s a girl to do?
After a quick phone call to confirm there was a chair available, I had Aaron drop me off to get a pedicure and the gift certificates. By the time Aaron wrapped up his errands, my toes looked marvelous and I had the gifts lined up. Kamberly wrapped everything up with a bow. Made it on time to the party, too!
Spa La La is a neighborhood treasure, and I’m happy to share my secret as long as I can still get in for appointments. Enjoy!
If you are ever in need of a massage when you’re on the Coast, Seaside Spa and Wellness Center is THE place to go. It’s a very homey little place, but the price is reasonable…..and if you ask for Carol as you masseuse, you will think you’ve died and gone to heaven! 503-717-1770.
But I must say, I am now seriously tempted to book an appointment with Spa La La for the next time I’m up in Oregon!
Let me know when and I’ll come with you! I would never pass up an excuse to get pampered.
So you took me out for a morning of “girly goodness,” eh? Well, I must admit, I enjoyed Spa La La very much. I’ve gotten pedicures in quite a few cities and this was one of the nicer ones. Most guys just don’t realize how nice it is to be “one of the girls” sometimes and pamper yourself. It would be a much nicer world if they did.
You know… I may have to jump on this… If Jenn can stand me being “one of the girls”.
