From the article:
Milk + Honey in the 2nd Street District has one of those storefronts that just makes you feel more relaxed when you walk by it, with its amber hues beckoning you to come in and be pampered.
Beginning next week through the end of October, milk + honey spa and other select 2nd Street District businesses will host a childhood cancer survivor’s portrait and story. These special portraits will be donated and hung in the LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center as inspiration to young cancer patients and their families. Stop by milk + honey’s 2nd Street District location to view our guest portrait, support the center, and get inspired by these childhood cancer survivors.

The Rarest Body
milk+honey was rated by Rarest of Them All and receives high ratings across the board! Ranked as 4th Best Salon in Austin, 2nd Best Waxing, and also was ranked 1st in: Best Spa For Men, Best Facials, Best Massage, Best Mani/Pedi, and overall Best Spa. See the full article below.
At milk + honey we take extra efforts to minimize our impact on the environment. Below are a few ideas from our eco-wise team of Spa Partisans how to be a lean, green, waste not machine:
•Reuse or recycle packing materials – Online purchases are on the rise which means lots of bubble wrap, packing peanuts and styrofoam. Bubble wrap can be stored for reuse (if you can resist the insatiable urge to pop it), or it can be recycled. Foam packing chips are not as easily recycled. If you don’t want to store this material for future use, take it to a shipping center such as the UPS stores that will gladly use it. While its easy to recycle cardboard, its even better to reuse boxes. Before you break down those boxes and put them out to the curb, spend just a few minutes to find someone in need of a box or two. You can save the landfill while helping a friend.
•Recycle old electronics – New flat-screen computer monitors, laptops, cameras, cell phones are common holiday gifts. Older models which are being replaced are usually still in working order and should not be discarded to a landfill. Click here for information to help recycle these items.
•Christmas trees can be recycled too – Cut trees are useful material for composting. Composting requires a carbon source and Christmas trees are just right for municipal operations which use chippers to shred the material. http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/sws/xmastree.htmArtificial trees which are up for replacement may also be recycled. These trees are usually made from metal which is accepted by most recycling centers.
Simple little things can increase your general well being. As winter approaches, we tend to be less physically active, have lower energy levels, and our skin often feels dry. Want to feel better? Give yourself a foot bath. Fill a bowl with hot water and sprinkle in a spoonful of Sumbody bath salts or milk bath. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, while you enjoy the hot water around your weary feet. Complete your self treatment with a good moisturizing lotion, like Sumbody’s Goats Milk Cream, which refreshes and softens and skin. This will not take a lot of time but will make a noticeable difference in both your energy levels and your mood.

The Cure for What Ails Athletes
“The day ended with a smile on my face and a bottle of sunblock in my hand for skin protection on trail trips to come. I had a great experience at Milk + Honey, and would definitely recommend the Hit the Trail Retreat to all you active people out there. It’s great for the mind, body and sore muscles — or just as a treat to yourself for getting out and working hard.”
