Thrifty Thursday (Aug. 9th, 2012) Save money AND live the good life in Tacoma and beyond

Lady Jacqueline has the week off so I'm filling in this week with your thrifty deals around town. There are so many ways to live like a Duchess on a paupers salary, I could write a whole book about it but here are a few of my favorites ways right now:

Clara Spa & Salon 
1506 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402
Connect on Facebook
253.682.2005
http://www.ClarasSpa.com

Did you know that you could have a gym/spa membership at Clara for just $25 a month? Membership benefits include use of the Courtyard Marriott pool and gym plus spa amenities like the steam room and sanctuary plus a 20% discount on ALL spa service. This is the best kept secret in town! 

This gym has recumbent bicycle, treadmills, elliptical machine, free weights and more.

Great indoor pool and hot tub. Its not uncommon to have the whole place to yourself if you visit at the right time! But word of warning, don't get too crazy, there's a camera on you so any one near the front desk upstairs can watch you!

They have a terrific steam room through that glass door and some really spectacular showers. I think you need a degree in engineering to figure out how to work all those different knobs and shower heads though! They supply shampoo, conditioner, lotion, contact solution, hairspray, hair dryer and all sorts other stuff to help you get ready when you're finished. Also there's a salon on site so you could  just pop over and let the pro's do your hair and makeup. 




Clara Spa and Courtyard Marriott are a terrific staycation spot even if you only have a couple of hours to spare but if you really need a getaway, go see our friends up the street at Travel Leaders.
