As moms, we often usually take care of everyone else before ourselves. To carve out time for a little pampering sometimes usually feels like a guilty pleasure, right? But really, it should be considered a necessity!
So, in honor of you deserving moms (and dads!) pure blu Spa in the Newport Beach Marriott is offering a giveaway of a FREE 50-minute treatment of choice to celebrate the back-to-school season (regardless if your kid is in school yet or not!!)
pure blu Spa is one of my favorite spas in Orange County. There are many, many reasons why I love it, but one of the things I love the most is that it is the perfect spa to meet girlfriends and spend the day.
Located across from Fashion Island, I love that pure blu is easy to get to. Simply pull up and valet your car (it’s complimentary with validation for spa visitors) and you will find the spa to the left off the main lobby when you enter the property.
Spacious and lovely, pure blu offers spa-goers its own saltwater private pool where you can relax on a chaise and munch on their delightful lunch menu.
Recently I met a small group of girlfriends at pure blu to take a BREAK from summer break! I was so happy I almost started crying when I walked in and saw them. Guess that’s when you know you REALLY need a little time away to reconnect with friends!
But if you are the type of person who prefers to go to the spa alone and embrace total tranquility for the day, I have never seen the spa pool crowded, so it would be the perfect spot to curl up on a lounge chair and take a snooze or just BE.
Inside the spa you will find a Eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, saltwater whirlpool Jacuzzi and refreshing cold foot plunge so you can indulge in various spa rituals before or after your treatment.
pure blu was nice enough to treat me to one of their new signature rituals, the Pure Bliss, while I was there. To me, ANY spa treatment is “pure bliss” but this particular Pure Bliss treatment was in another blissful category all its own!
Consisting of 80-minutes of pampering massage, scrub and wrap ~ this treatment was most appropriately named!
My therapist started out with an amazing massage. Focusing on my back, neck and shoulders, all of my cares melted away underneath her hands.
Then at some point in the abyss of bliss, she started with an exfoliating scrub. I had never had a body scrub before and I loved it!
I was told that on many scrubs, you get up and actually shower at some point to rinse the exfoliants off, but in the Pure Bliss treatment, I stayed on the table the entire time, and the scrub was gently rubbed away with warm towels, which I was then wrapped in.
My therapist said the wrap helps the moisturizer seep in just that much deeper after the exfoliation. I walked out of the room feeling like a warm noodle with soft as a baby skin.
The 80-minute Pure Bliss treatment is being offered at the new introductory price of $150. Highly recommend. Especially if you are having a hard time deciding on a treatment – you really get the best of two different types of services.

I love Pure Blu spa! We were introduced to this spa 5 years ago when we got married at the Marriott. (Pure Blue gave us a complimentary massage since we booked our wedding at the hotel ) We have been going ever since. Such an amazing spa!
I could really use a little me time at the spa since most of my time goes to my two little girls- 3 years and 1 year old. They are the best, but it’s a good day when I get 5 minutes to sit and breathe for a bit. 🙂
I would love a custom facial! I could use it after this pregnancy!
I would love to get a massage. I have a bad back and the massages always give me a few days of relief. Great giveaway! Thanks!
I SOOOO need a massage and visit to the spa!!
In addition to all the regular craziness of being a working-outside-the-home mom of two boys, we are trying to move my mom in with us so that we can help to care for her.
Thank you!!
I would love a facial!
Yay! I would love some pampering after summer. Looks like a fabulous spa!
I would love to win! haven’t been to the spa in so long!
My skin is in dire need of a facial after a long summer of sun, chlorine and sunscreen. thanks for a fabulous giveaway!
massage would be awesome! 4 kids home every day, all day, all summer long … bts break for mama would be awesome!
This would be so great to win!
Pick me 🙂
I love the Pure Blue Spa! It’s the perfect spot to relax and meet up with friends.
This would be glorious (to quote Fancy Nancy) since I just had my second baby!
I love Pure Blue Spa and their pool! I would love a massage or the Pure Bliss treatment!
I’ve never been to Pure Blu and would love to try out a massage there! Thanks for describing the location and amenities.
I’d choose the signature massage–it sounds so relaxing!
Being a working mama with a busy little 4.5 yr old….and a second sweet lil one on the way…..a massage would be absolutely lovely! ;o)
Massage, baby!
As a single mom of a 2 year old boy who still wakes up at 4am daily-um yes I’m a mommy who REALLY needs some pampering-a massage sounds like dreamland…literally!!
I would love a morning spent here!!!
I could always use a massage! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Would love to win. Just went on a family vacation but seemed like so much “work” with my 3 little ones!
I would love the Pure Bliss: Massage, Scrub and Wrap Ritual
Hmmm, I would have to decide between either the Espresso Limon Body Detox or the Signature Massage.
Honestly, ANY pampering would be fantastic for this mama! Fingers crossed!
Oh my goodness, how do you pick just one?!?! I would love a facial, a massage, ANYTHING 🙂 🙂 🙂
i can’t figure out how to pin the contest on pinterest…so I should lose an entry…sorry!
Always a fan of a deep therapeutic massage!
Would love to go back to the place we got married (and you coordinated!) to get a massage!
Any massage is a good massage in my book! Extra concentration on neck and shoulders is a must for me!
