Gold, Green & Gorgeous

While the Natural Body Spa & Shoppe (“NB”) in DC’s West End has been quite successful since the location’s opening in November, Monday night they really had something to celebrate. As you’ve read on The Punch, this boutique spa’s District location recently received its Gold LEED certification from the US Green Building Council. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – and NB certainly earned this title. Their commitment to natural, organic products, conservation of light and water, and creative use of recycled content is something to be admired.

And what better way to celebrate this accomplishment than with some organic libations and fare? Platters from Organic to Go, the first café and catering service in DC certified organic by the USDA, were served alongside organic beer and wine. You could enjoy these snacks while sampling some of the spa’s services on the house (like a hand treatment, make-up application, or upper body massage). Tranquil music was playing as guests wandered around, unwinding after a long Monday.

As an added treat, everyone received a fabulous gift bag filled with coupons and fun samples, including peppermint lip balm, Vitamin Water, lotion, and chocolates. Once you’re in the system as a client, the perks keep on coming… you’ll learn about special promotions, seasonal services, and get a royal discount for your birthday.

They’ve earned the Gold for being Green and will make you feel Gorgeous. So get on it!

The Natural Body Spa & Shoppe is located at 1104 24th Street (between 24th & L Streets). Lean more about their services offered and call 202.775.2070 to make an appointment.
