Scrubs, peels, wax, massage ...
We've all seen images of the rich and famous, fictional and real, being pampered at the latest spa; scrubbed with salt, dipped in chocolate, covered in green goo. Tough to watch after a hard day hanging over a computer, standing before a class or working the real estate game. If you're lucky you're sitting there with your feet plunked in a pan of warm water and Epsom salt, while the guy on TV is enjoy some a deep tissue massage. Pampering seems so far away. First it's located somewhere else like Switzerland, or on a mountaintop in Washington State. Then again "far away" could just be the financial reach. But then again maybe not. Relaxation and rejuvenation is readily found on the Seacoast. Salt scrubs, peels, plasters and drool-drawing massage all with your favorite scent wafting through the air is just around the corner.

Developer John Holmes of the Adams Investment Group, a Washington, D.C.,-based developer and retail and commercial property owner, said there are plans to add an additional 2,500 to 2,800 square feet to the 22,000-square-foot shopping center in the 7000 block of Annapolis Road. Holmes said Adams Investment Group will use private money to complete the $2 million project. Holmes said the shopping center was a family-owned property and Adams Investment Group needed to buy the family out before any hopes for renovating the center could progress. He declined to release the family’s name. ‘‘It took us a good 11 years to work out the shares," Holmes said.

Fashion plate: Alannah Hill
Carrie Bradshaw has nothing on Alannah Hill. In a battle of who has the most and biggest corsages, Australia's most flamboyant fashion designer would beat the Sex and the City gal hands down, favouring full-on bunches in her hair. Hill also rules when it comes to all things girlie, and her designs are a vision of prettiness in lace. The native Tasmanian left her hometown of Penguin at 17 and hit Melbourne. She got a job in a clothing store after a stint waitressing, before starting her own label. Anyone who's been in an Alannah Hill store in Australia would speak of the impossibly cute shop girls in full costume right down to the flowers. Now, there's no need to fly anywhere to get a hit of over-the-top femininity as the first Alannah Hill store is about to open in Newmarket's new luxury Nuffield St complex.
