"There comes a time in the life of many a journalist when we're asked to take a break from gorging ourselves on vegan fast-food or banana tiramisu, combing through the collections at Mother Foucault's, and bus-hopping our way to Seattle to do some real honest-to-goodness research. We're talking straying from our beats, leaving our comfort zones, peeling off our protective layers, literally and figuratively."
"Tucked inside a converted North Portland Craftsman lies a hidden oasis. (Or rather, some sort of Airbnb-spa hybrid.) Blooming Moon has your typical spa standbys: facials, skin peels, massages, and mani-pedis. But what stands out is the self-guided soak and steam treatment in its backyard, in which you reserve the spa's private retreat studio to treat yourself or a gaggle of friends."
"A soak and steam starts at $110 per person, but the price drops as the size of the group grows. The studio is outfitted with a hot tub, a large deck, a firepit, a bathroom with a steam shower and an incinerator toilet (an element of the spa's eco-friendly ethos), a comfy seating area, and a kitchenette sporting a fridge to store your own nonalcoholic drinks and snacks."
Blooming Moon occupies a converted North Portland Craftsman and offers facials, skin peels, massages, and mani-pedis alongside a private soak-and-steam backyard retreat. Guests reserve a private studio for groups and can choose a 90-minute soak-and-steam starting at $110 per person, with lower per-person rates for larger groups. The studio includes a hot tub, large deck, firepit, steam shower, incinerator toilet, seating area, and a kitchenette with a fridge for nonalcoholic drinks and snacks. Treatments may be added before or after the soak. Complimentary refreshments include blood orange and cucumber water and caffeine-free "Be Well Tea," and aromatherapy uses lavender essential oil.
