Get your Spa On : The Travelling Spa (until November 25)

Ever feel like you have NO time to actually give yourself some YOU time? Yeah, me too. Never fear work a holics (or in my case reruns of Charmed a holic) you can now have your pampering, grab your lunch and head back to work because THE TRAVELLING SPA is in town. San Diego Magazine has a nice write up about the drive up services.

The massive RV’s walls depict a pale blue silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and a gorgeous woman with the skin of my dreams. In the center of it all reads, “L’Bel: The Power of Your Beauty.” I’m greeted by a plethora of smiling faces, including that of L’Bel skin care expert John Krites, and I’m curious about what’s in store for me. As we board the mother ship, I can’t help but imagine my uncle’s fishing gear and ’70s motor home décor might be waiting inside.

I couldn’t be more wrong. The interior is sleek and modern, and equipped with every luxurious detail of a high-end spa. In the front are two colossal mirrors, a full make-up counter and a computer. I take a seat in a plush white leather stool and before I can ask what a computer has to do with my facial, John busts open a drawer lined with science-fiction-looking gadgets. He explains that L’Bel Paris’ unique approach to skin care mixes a deeply rooted Parisian tradition of fine beauty products with cutting-edge technology.

The L’Bel Spa Mobile will be in San Diego through November 25. For locations and times, visit eltondesigns.com/Lbel_IPK/mobile/sandiego.html.

Now if only they could invent a mobile office and assistant, how much fun would that be? You could park it right outside of Fashion Valley, spend some time working and the rest of it catching up on all your shopping needs.
