Every summer I look forward to spending some time at La Quinta Resort and Spa.
It’s become our family tradition. I love Palm Springs in the summer when
the temperature is above 100°F. For
some reason La Quinta isn’t very busy during this time, and this makes for an
even better getaway for us. La
Quinta Resort and Spa is set on 45 lush acres of gardens and pathways. It is located at the foot of the Santa
Rosa Mountains. Nothing feels
better than spending the day in any of the 41 pools. La Quinta Resort and Spa is also very family and dog
friendly.
Here are two all-natural home remedies for a
radiant desert complexion that are easy to make, and will work wonders on your sun-drenched
skin.
Energizing
Masque
1 tsp. honey
1/2
tsp olive oil
one egg, beaten
A few drops, rose water
Mix.
Smooth onto your face for five to ten minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm
water. Apply twice a week. This exercises the face because it
stimulates blood circulation to the surface of
the skin; and nourishes and oxygenates your complexion.
Desert
Moisturizer
1 tsp. avocado oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
Before checking into La Quinta we stopped at Trader
Joe’s and stocked up on some food for daytime snacking. Once I get into the pool I’m there to stay for the day! The Trader Joe’s is located at:
46400 Washington St.
La Quinta, CA 92253
There are a lot of places to eat and drink in
and around Palm Springs. Since we
travel with our dog and eating on a restaurant patio with temperatures exceeding
100° isn’t an option, our desert getaway always includes taking out for
dinner.
Our take out favorites are Fisherman’s Market
and Grill. Our favorite is their
Halibut Fish and Chips.
We also take out from City Wok in Palm Desert.

We never leave home without our Chloe and San Pellegrino! La Quinta's landscaping varies from lush gardens to desertscapes. |
Chloe loved going out for walks around La Quinta's many paths.

 |
| Picked up an apple for Chloe at the Lobby. |
La Quinta is a beautiful property that echoes the 1920's Spanish Hacienda style.
I love the many happy Palm Tress at La Quinta.
When the temperature is over 100°, nothing feels better than being in a refreshing pool.
 |
| I loved having the pool all to myself! |
 |
| After three days of paradise, even Chloe was sad to leave. See you soon La Quinta!
La Quinta Resort and Spa gives me all the variety I need for a desert getaway
with my family and dog!
