Girls Day Out-East Liberty Version

I spent my Monday off with two different friends.  I crammed all my girlfriend time into one day! I had such a great time.  We started off at Peace Love and Zen, a wellness center located in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood.  I suffer from chronic pain, so I am always looking for alternative treatments.  My friend located this center and its Himalayan Salt Cave.   After reading about the benefits of Salt Therapy, we booked a session.

I had no idea what to expect when we walked in.  The owner Susan opened the door and we were led into a room made of imported Himalayan Salt, including the floor.  We sat in zero gravity loungers, wrapped up in our blankets and spent our 45 minute session just breathing in the zen.  I, of course, talked the entire time, but that’s part of going to a spa with me!

I then proceeded to my next service, which was a massage with Abby.  She started with some foot reflexology and trigger point massage.  She was great, highly recommend her. The absolute best part, was I was in so much less pain when I left the facility than when I came in.  Not sure which part of the session was responsible, but I am definitely willing to try it all again.

We headed to lunch at BRGR nearby.  It was an amazingly beautiful fall day, so BRGR had their garage door windows open.  Fabulous food as always!

 Bakery Square’s center and Google office, look at that sky!

We made our way over to Bakery Square and checked out the new West Elm store.  We met Jamison (sorry if I spelled it wrong!) who was super helpful!  Look him up when you visit.  I’ve been to a few other West Elm stores and I have to say, I loved the layout of this one the best.

 

Jamison and the Boxwood Antlers

Front and center were Christmas decorations, anything shiny and glittery and I’m there.  I had to take one of these glitter tinsel trees home with me.  It’s going to look amazing with my gold lamps!

 

The bedding was one of our favorite areas of the store.  So pretty!  Love those Mongolian pillow covers.

 

I really, really wanted one of these to come home with me, but I resisted!  The struggle is real!

 

I don’t know why I am so into gold this year, but I loved these too.

 

And don’t even get me started on their lighting.  So many pieces I loved.  Check out this Droplet Glass Pendant.  Gorge!

 

I then spent the second half of my day with another friend, dinner, conversation and Gone Girl (loved the movie)!  What did you do this weekend? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
