The Budget Fashionista

What: The Spa Experience, featuring free facials, massages, and more, from Oct. 31-Nov. 3 at Grand Central Station’s Vanderbilt Hall.

The Lowdown: Though for most of us Oct. 31st conjures up images of haunted houses and, well, candy, for those in New York City, Halloween means the start of a very relaxing treat. The Spa Experience will feature, among other things, free hot stone massages, seaweed facials and pumpkin hand treatments, and will showcase spa travel destinations and spa beauty companies. Those attending will also have a crack at - oh yes - product samples. We love a good product sample. Look for goodies from Clarins, Avon Wellness, and more.

And as if free treatments and stuff to take home weren’t enough, you can also sign up to win some fabulous prizes, like a five-night trip for two to Body Holiday St. Lucia in the West Indies, a jar of Darphin Paris’ Stimulskin Plus Cream (retail value: $525), and five nights at SAMA Deluxe Destination Spa in Ireland.

Sounds great, right? But not so much if you don’t happen to be in NYC. Never fear, you’ll still have a chance to get something out the deal - Vermont’s Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa (along with JetBlue) give you a chance to enter online to win a luxury three-night package, including airfare, accommodations, and spa treatments.
