Champagne Dreams & Caviar Spa Treatments!

The use of caviar (or really expensive fish eggs) as a beauty aid is apparently on the rise on a global scale in skin and hair treatments and is reminicent to that of Botox treatments when they were first discovered.

Caviar, which is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, contributes to tightening the skin by providing cohesion, nutrition, and vitamins while developing the skin's natural defense antioxidant and improving the skin's moisture barrier.

The La Prairie spa at the Ritz-Carlton on Central Park South, in fact, just started offering a $1,000  caviar-and-crushed-diamond facial that also includes hand and foot massage and steam-machine treatment. One reviewer said the results left her able to skip makeup for a week!  To justify that price, however, I think it would have to leave me skipping makeup for a year though!;)

Freaky Friday Spa Treatment - Detoxification with Leeches

Well here's a unique spa treatment that really "SUCKS"!:) Today's featured Scandle Freaky Friday Spa Treatment is a leech treatment where for a mere $600 you can get whatever ails you sucked out.

Who would pay to have something like this done to them?  Well, how about actress Demi Moore who in an interview with David Letterman in 2008 said that her beauty regimen included going to an Austrian spa where she had leeches applied to her body as a detoxification measure.  Moore said, "You watch it swell up on your blood, watching it get fatter and fatter -- then when it's super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it's stumbling out of the bar."

So, what do you say...yay or nay to this medival method of detoxification?
