    We all know that an apple a day can keep the doctor away. Turns out that fiber-rich fruit (and its vitamin-rich counterparts) can ward off stress and a range of skin woes, too. At Pacific Waters Spa in Southern California, pears, blueberries and other healthy snacks are cropping up in a slew of body treatments designed to promote health, beauty and overall well-being. The antioxidant properties of blueberry and soy combine for a slimming body wrap aimed at improving skin elasticity and firmness, while apples and pears team up in a nourishing body treatment meant to infuse skin with an irresistible glow. And the delicious scents of pineapple, papaya and starfruit add a stress-busting aromatherapy element to the spa's menu of body scrubs. Getting hungry? Drop by the on-site cafe for a post-treatment smoothie made from -- you guessed it -- fresh fruit!

There's a lot to see -- and taste-- from giant, well-known wineries to small, boutique wineries, so those with a thing for drinking have attractions abound to explore. Whether you're just staying the night to sleep off a day of guzzling grape juice, or enjoying a weekend or more of first class accommodations, a peek at this slideshow will guide you to experiencing some of Napa County's best-acclaimed resorts!

    Sexy, eclectic and bold, just a few words that come to mind as you step inside the ultra chic Gitane restaurant in downtown San Francisco. The French word for "Gypsy," Gitane's decor was inspired from three different decades, a complimentary environment to its irresistible cuisine. The Mediterranean fare is inspired by Spain, France and Portugal, but it's not just the dishes that leave you craving more. The sultry ambiance of the space-- everything from the murals imported from Istanbul to the massive chandeliers that hang from the ceiling-- leave you tantalized. The expansive cocktail list of sherries, cavas, madeiras and Spanish brandies is the perfect pairing to accompany the menu.

    Great news! We've extended our JAMES PERSE "Hunt" contest for one more week! Read on to find out how you can win!


    I used to be really bad about buying black tee shirts- at one point, I counted about seven seemingly identical black tops in my closet (they were each different, I swear!), and of course, I only wore one of them- a super-soft twist-neck tank top from James Perse that I scooped up in multiple colors during a particularly good sale at Bloomingdale's. James Perse tees are more than just basics- put one on and I dare you not to buy it. Sure, they're pricier than your average tee, but think about all of the $20 tees you'll never have to buy again! Plus, JP tees hold up incredibly well and won't lose their shape if you care for them properly. Throw one on (like the tugged pocket tee) with your favorite denim and sure, you're in a tee and jeans, but you feel like so much more. Tuck the short sleeve raglan scoop tee into a mini or pencil skirt and step into a pair of heels for that effortlessly put-together look, or skip the heels and go California cool in flip flops- the wardrobe possibilities that you get with these tees are endless. We've teamed up with James Perse for this week's "The Hunt" contest, and we're giving three lucky winners the chance to each win $500 worth of JP merchandise! Entering the contest is easy- just bookmark your favorite James Perse items, and encourage others to hive your items as well by sending messages to your followers- and if your bookmark is one of the top THREE most popular at the end of the week, you win! Throughout the week you can check and see who's in the lead. Catch the full contest rules here for more information. You must be a Stylehive member to play, so click here to register for free and start hiving! The contest ends this Friday. Good luck!
