New location for spa

Robert Marchant — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:30:51 +0000

La Petite Spa has a new home…..

Croton-on-Hudson, NY (May 2013) Le Petite Spa, an organic vegan day spa, has just moved to a brand new location in Croton, only one minute from its former location at Baltic Place. The new address is 1380 Albany Post Road (Route 9A), and the spa is occupying space in the lower level of the yellow ranch style home.

Zoned for commercial business, the location also offers ample parking and expanded hours of operation. “We are so excited about our new home and the possibilities it offers for expansion,” said spa owner Mary Prenon. “We’ll also be offering Grand Opening specials all summer long, and will be planning a Grand Opening party for the fall.”

Opened in 2009, Le Petite Spa had shared space with Dr. Bard J. Levey, a cosmetic dentist. The new space will allow the spa to be open every day. The new hours are Monday through Wednesday, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Thursday and Friday, 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, Saturday, 9:30 am to 6:00 pm and Sunday by appointment. Customers must still call or email for appointments, as spa services are booking about two weeks in advance. Currently, walk-ins cannot be accommodated

Le Petite Spa is an organic, vegan day spa specializing in European Facials, Massage Therapy, Reflexology, and Body Treatments. The spa offers Yum Gourmet skincare and Bubalina body care, which are certified organic and certified vegan. They feature naturally-harvested exotic botanical products, organic source vitamins, minerals, and phyto-nutrients to deliver the most beneficial skin care possible. These products contain no artificial colors, preservatives, or animal byproducts and are never tested on animals.
Its holistic approach to spa treatments includes the use of aromatherapy and meditation for a complete mind/body spa experience. Gift certificates are available at the spa and online. For more information, please visit www.LePetiteSpaNY.com.

Three Mt. Kisco boutiques celebrating 10 years in business with ‘big bash’

Robert Brum — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:25:34 +0000

MOUNT KISCO — Tiger Lily Boutique, Yogi’s Paw Boutique and New York Dolls are joining forces to throw one big, block party-style bash, as each store celebrates a decade in business.

Festivities will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1, at Tiger Lily, 139 Main St.; Yogi’s Paw, 141 Main St.; and New York Dolls, 153 Main St. Each store is planning promotions, sales, gift basket raffles, refreshments and giveaways. Tiger Lily will have a trunk show. A live jazz trio on the sidewalk between the stores will be featured Saturday.

The stores opened on Main Street, Mount Kisco, in 2003. Although all three stores sell women’s clothing, jewelry and accessories, each store serves a different customer. Yogi’s Paw features fashions for teens and tweens; New York Dolls carries “high fashion” designer lines for women; Tiger Lily specializes in “hand-picked” designer collections for women.

“Being in such close proximity to each other has helped us build a real sense of community,” said Cathy Deutsch, owner, Tiger Lily. “We’re delighted to celebrate together and share this special event with the customers who’ve helped us build our businesses.”
