DRYYP Sauna
📍 New Haven (and pop-ups around the state – stay tuned!)
Our DRYYP wood-fired sauna experience in downtown New Haven is officially core-memory material. On a freezing, starry night, we warmed up in the sauna (yes, with adorable felt hats), boosted our circulation, relaxed our tired muscles, then cooled off outside by the fire and relaxed with tea in a heated greenhouse. We even sat in the snow for extra daring points! Equal parts wellness and fun — and we felt amazing after!
CycleBar Monroe
📍 Monroe
Wow, did we enjoy our CycleBar experience in Monroe! Serious club vibes, only good for us! Driven by music and rooted in community, this locally owned studio creates high-energy rides designed to boost dopamine, spark serotonin, and leave you glowing long after the last song ends. Check, check, and check! Kaylee gave us Thursday night crew a most excellent spin!
Boost Bowls
📍 Danbury, Bethel, Mystic, Newtown, West Hartford
We always stop at Boost Bowls when we’re in their area – so feel-good yummy!! They serve fresh, made-to-order smoothie bowls, smoothies, and wraps using real ingredients. It’s a great stop for delicious food that’s perfect for everyday fuel, office lunch orders, and busy days! Ask for the chopped chicken Caesar wrap, so good👌! Into protein? Add vanilla whey or vegan protein to any of their bowls or smoothies!
Imagine Float – Wellness Center
📍Avon
Among its many wellness services, Imagine Float is one of just a few Connecticut spas offering EMSCULPT NEO. This non-surgical body contouring treatment strengthens muscle and reduces fat through powerful, FDA-cleared technology. We had to try it out, and it’s hard to describe, but basically, it’s like little contractions happening to you, while you lie there and do the equivalent of way more sit-ups than we ever could! Electromagnetic energy & radiofrequency heat simultaneously burn fat and build muscle. Sign. us. up.

The OM Center
📍 Watertown
The Om Center is a warm, welcoming yoga and wellness studio in Watertown offering classes for all levels, plus teacher trainings, meditation, Pilates, Ayurveda, massage, Reiki, workshops, and community events. They want you all to know that — whether it’s your first class or your hundredth, come as you are! We loved our Sunday morning gentle restorative class and left thoroughly relaxed & restored!
Nature’s Temptations
📍 Ridgefield
Feeling overwhelmed by supplement options? Life hack: check out Nature’s Temptations, a trusted organic market with professional-grade supplements and a nutrition expert on hand. This one-stop shop promotes wellness with high-quality organic foods, an amazing smoothie bar, café, and deli, supporting healthy living in the local community. We stocked up on Truvani protein powder when we were there — the new strawberry flavor is sooo good!
Charym Yoga Studio
📍 Litchfield
Inspired by zen temples, Charym Yoga Studio’s energy makes every class a true reset. A beautiful yoga spot in Litchfield County, they offer multiple yoga classes as well as Ballet, Power & Fluidity, Pilates, Martial Fitness, and more! With passionate teachers aged 20–80, all abilities are welcome. Don’t miss their monthly sound healing events and specialized workshops. We went to a yoga conditioning class that had us wobbling in all the right ways!
Just A Little Med Spa
📍 North Canaan
Just A Little Med Spa brings elevated aesthetic services to Connecticut’s NW Corner, drawing clients from CT, MA, and NY. We visited owner Alicia and nurse Meagan to learn about their injectables and medical-grade skincare. We were intrigued by their newest offering from ToskaniMed — the Perfect Glow Eye Contour, designed to target puffiness, pigmentation, laxity, and texture. Thanks for letting us observe, Michelle — we’ll be booking an appointment next time we’re up that way!
Byrde + the b / b well
📍 Litchfield
Byrde + the b / b well welcomes back award winning aesthetician Barbara Tilley! The wellness spa is now offering advanced aesthetic treatments focused on long-term skin health and visible rejuvenation. Featuring exclusive Environ Skincare and next-generation therapies like GlycoAla® Bio-Needling and TriaWave microcurrent facials, the experience blends clinical results with a personalized approach rooted in quiet luxury. Glass skin, here we come!
Salt of the Earth Therapeutic Spa
📍 Woodbury
We love visiting Salt of the Earth! Beyond the stunning salt cave and various other self-care experiences, their BioAcoustical Sound Mat is a must-try. Using low-frequency sound and music, it delivers a “deep acoustic massage” to muscles and joints, promoting relaxation, stress relief, and better sleep. Add chakra lights and ancient healing music, and prepare for a meditative, deeply restorative experience.
Daisy Wilder
📍 CT
Lora’s jewelry line, Daisy Wilder, is inspired by nature + meaning. Each piece is thoughtfully designed with gemstones chosen not just for their beauty, but for the energy they’re known for—like protection, grounding, clarity, confidence, or calm—so what you wear can feel like a wearable intention. From everyday layers to standout charms, Daisy Wilder jewelry is made to help you honor your energy + carry a bit of magic with you wherever you go.
