Introducing...Exhale Spa in Hollywood!

 You're probably familiar with Exhale Spa, a fabulous brand of relaxing retreats nationwide that merges mind + body wellbeing in one posh environment.

I've taken their signature Core Fusion Barre classes at the Santa Monica location (whew! what a workout!), and was recently invited in to check out their newest spa location in Hollywood at Loews Hotel.

Now I'm personally not a fan of Hollywood, and was reminded of that fact during my hectic drive in, cluttered with obnoxious traffic. I was late to my appointment and feeling a little frazzled from a long day, but the moment I stepped into the spa, I was warmly welcomed into an inviting and relaxing oasis that instantly lifted my mood.

Exhale Hollywood officially opened to the public February 1, and I'd highly encourage you to check it out! The space is surprisingly spacious and has a calming zen-like vibe to it. The eucalyptus steam room is everything you'd want it to be, the lounge area is cozy and chic. I enjoyed an Exhale Flow Massage; the perfect treatment for my crazed lifestyle. I especially loved that my therapist, Tiara, gave me feedback on my muscles/areas where I hold tension, and offered tips to do on my own when I'm not able to make it in for a massage.

Bonus, valet parking is totally comped by the spa for two hours. In LA, we consider that a major treat!

Hollywood, maybe you're not so bad after all.
