The Spa Week Media Party gets back to its roots...

n April 2nd the Spring 2009 Spa Week Media Party kicked off at New York City's Midtown Loft and Terrace on 5th Avenue. More than 300 of the top media professionals in the health, beauty, fashion and travel industry showed up to enjoy a wide assortment of spa treatments offered by Red Door Spa, Salon Chinois, Homme Spa and Nina's European Day Spa. Underneath tropical cabanas partygoers flowed in for eyebrow threading, mini manicures and more.

WeddingChannel.com, learned about the

beautiful Caribbean Peter Island Resort, and explored Ingrid Millet's Caviaressence

skincare line. The bash was buzzing with activity all night long, and although many stopped to admire the Pedestals floral arrangements and nibble on hors d'oeuvres, the star of the show was Title Sponsor jane iredale — The Skin Care Makeup, who offered mineral cosmetic applications in a private pavilion.

In between treatments, guests filled up on healthy appetizers by Chef Daniel and then headed over to Rioja Wines where informative tasting sessions and an awesome variety of their finest wines.

At the end of the Zen-filled evening, we gave the media our signature goodie bags, which were stuffed to the brim with many of the newest and most exciting products available. The Spa Week Media staff pulled off our best event yet, and although we're glad it's over, we are already planning our next fun-filled evening coming up this October.

Until then "Happy Spa-ing."
