Are you in the mood for a little pampering? Look no farther than Anastasia Beverly Hills, a La Jolla spa that’s sure to leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and simply glowing.

Each spa treatment and service will allow you to experience a whole new level of “you,”; their extensive selection of face, body and salon treatments will amaze you.

While the spa caters to females, Anastasia also offers a variety of services specifically for the image-conscious male – everything from eyebrow shaping, to waxing and even facials.

Enjoy a relaxing day trip with the girls and invest in a world-class Glycolic facial, or indulge with a luxurious Swedish massage (available in 50 or 80 minute increments.)

With summer right around the corner, you may also want to choose from one of their several waxing services, including a full leg, bikini or underarm wax.

Alternatively, you may just want to pamper yourself for a day and have your makeup professionally done. If that’s the case, Anastasia will ensure you and your girlfriends leave looking like princesses with full makeup, a natural-looking airbrush tan and professional eyebrow shaping.

If I had to choose a favorite service, I’d definitely recommend the clarifying mask treatment or the Vitamin C Facial; both leave your skin positively glowing.

The spa also offers unique packages for bridal showers, baby showers, or graduation parties. Additionally, you can customize a package to suit nearly any event. What’s more, the spa offers on-location deals if you’re interested in hosting a private spa party for a bride-to-be, or simply a gathering of your closest girlfriends for a day of beauty and pampering.

Whatever you choose Anastasia Beverly Hills La Jolla Studio for, you’ll be assured of world-class treatment, a variety of services to choose from, and a dramatic revealing of the inner goddess you know you are!

For the ultimate girl’s night out, you absolutely must visit Jack's La Jolla. With three restaurants and five different lounges, there’s no shortage of food, drink and entertainment.

Truly an establishment for the upscale single girl, Jack’s La Jolla offers three spectacular restaurants, including The Dining Room, the Grille and The Ocean Room.

The Dining Room seems to offer the most bang for the buck, so to speak, including delicious food, cozy atmosphere and live entertainment.

If you’re more interested in relaxing and socializing, invite some of your gal pals out to a night on the town and have a drink at The Wall Street Bar, one of five different lounges within Jack’s. The Wall Street Bar seems to offer busy, young professionals the perfect after-work atmosphere to talk to similar-minded people and socialize.

If, on the other hand, you and the girls want to party over the weekend, choose The Beach Bar, open Thursday through Saturday until 2 AM. It’s the perfect lounge to kick it with friends, or hook up with eligible single men.

You can party until the wee hours of the morning on one of their spacious dance floors, or enjoy the killer ocean views, open air courtyard and large, extensive bar.

Honestly, Jack’s La Jolla offers the quintessential environment for a girl’s night out with an upscale and hip flair. You can expect to pay upwards of $10-50 per entrée and/or beverage depending which lounge or restaurant you choose to spend your time.

It makes for a bit of an expensive outing with your girlfriends, but it’s totally worth the price. Take it from me – there’s no better place in San Diego to find attractive, young men, a cozy atmosphere and a great place to drink, dine and have fun.

If you want to see and be seen, check out Jack’s La Jolla. You may want to consider visiting during happy hour (typically from 3:30 to 6:30), as that seems to be the best place to mingle with the other party-goers.

For a fun, relaxing day with the girls, there’s no other spa in San Diego like Essence.

The "spa on Mission Bay," located in the Hilton San Diego Resort offer a wealth of custom-designed spa treatments and services.
Enjoy 9 treatment rooms, a full-service hair and nail salon, plus an indoor/outdoor meditation lounge, if that’s your thing. The spa also offers a large boutique where you can purchase unique products and gifts to take home.

If you’d like to relax even more with your pals after your treatments, take advantage of Essence’s sun deck where you can enjoy over-sized lounge chairs, and sample some delicious cuisine.

If you’d like, you and your gal pals can ask about special day packages, where you’ll be treated like royalty for a special price.
Indulge in a wide variety of spa treatments, from facials to manicures, hair cuts to massages.

I’m especially fond of the Green Tea Peel, which leaves the skin looking absolutely radiant with no downtime whatsoever. If you desire silky, smooth skin with none of the undesirable side effects of other facials, this treatment is the way to go.

Of course, I’m also a fan of the Sacred Stone massage, which utilizes the ancient massage technique of hot stones on the body to deliver the ultimate in relaxation to tired, sore muscles.

Essence also offers an extensive selection of add-ons to make your day with the girls extra special. For example, you can add the option of a lavish bath soak, complete with your choice of rose petals, oils, or scrubs, before a facial or massage.

You could also ask for a customized blend of aromatherapy oils to help you relax further while you’re getting a massage. Honestly, your options are endless at Essence.

To make things super simple for you and your pals, you can all create your own customized packages, where you will receive three services of your choice while receiving a discount on all of them. It’s the simplest way to enjoy Essence!

Whether you want to unwind and relax with an intensive massage, or simply pal it up with the girls and get manicures and a haircut, Essence at the Hilton San Diego Resort will ensure all of you leave satisfied, relaxed, and gorgeous.

If you’re looking to scope out singles, the San Diego bar scene can be a great way to meet people and find potential dates.

I met a guy at a combination bar and grill that eventually turned into a two year relationship. While we aren’t together anymore, I don’t regret ever making the commitment. We still remain friendly to this day!

Before you go, I’m going to show you some of the best bars in San Diego. Forget those dives and hole-in-the-wall establishments – these are the cream of the crop, and may even score you a first date (or two or three…!)

Pacific Beach Bar and Grill is the place to go for potential dates, dining and entertainment. Scope out prospects in their large outdoor dining area, or catch the action indoors while watching the latest sporting event on their 72” televisions.

Enchant the child within you at Dave and Busters, a grown-up arcade, restaurant and bar. It’s a great spot for a first date, or to find a date for next time! Even though I struck out when I went, I did manage to play Skee-Ball with a guy – and he gave me a stuffed panda to take home afterwards.

For an Irish-flavored evening, check out Maloney’s Tavern, located in the heart of San Diego. Great for the singles scene, you can enjoy a selection of Irish brews or mixed drinks. Their menu isn’t too shabby, either!

The Wine Lover. You’ll love the different crowd that tends to hang out at these places (I thought some of them were a bit snobby, but a lot of them are down to earth), and you won’t have to constantly worry about some cheese-ball hitting on you. Even if you aren’t much of a wine connoisseur, you definitely want to check The Wine Lover out. It’s a classy wine bar that can be a lot of fun.>

While these are only a small selection of bars in San Diego, you will undoubtedly meet someone that strikes your fancy. Forget about the dive bars you’re used to and give one of these establishments a chance. Dating in San Diego is already difficult enough, but if you’re persistent you can make the most of the singles scene.

I know San Diego, and I guarantee you’ll love these bars.

Have fun!
