Mothers Day Specials At The Ritz-Carlton Hotels

Mothers Day is fast approaching and I am looking for different ways how to spoil my mom a little on this day. The older I become, the more I start to appreciate what my mother means to me. Especially at times when I am trying to figure out whether I want to have kids or not, I realize how thankful I am to my mom that she was brave enough to bring me into this world. Of course there were moments in my life when I felt that my mother doesn’t understand, know or even care enough about me, but she is the only one I will ever have and I love her the way she is. Besides, who knows how to be a great mother anyway, you just learn as you go and some moms do it better, some worse, but there is no doubt, that at least what we should do, is to be thankful, understanding and forgiving. In other words, we should try to be the best kids they ever had.
So, I was searching for some great ideas on what we could do together with my mother to make this day special and unforgettable. I stumbled upon the following offers from The Ritz-Carlton Hotels: Naples and Amelia Island. And although it is unlikely that we will travel to USA especially for these offers, but I still wanted to share them with you in case this is exactly what you were looking for.
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples:
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples offers different amazing treatments that you can share together with your mother along with a glass of champagne. Below you can find more details about this cool offer:
· The Ritz-Carlton Signature Facial, including a strawberry mask and eye treatment – 50 minutes, $125
· The Ritz-Carlton Signature Massage, including an application of strawberry-scented lotion – 50 minutes, $125
· The Ritz-Carlton Manicure and Pedicure – $125
· Tips and Tresses: Signature manicure and blow-dry – receive a 20% discount
The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island Mother’s Day Package:
The Ritz-Carlton, luxurious Amelia Island in Florida offers a magnificent way to treat your Mom to a short, but fancy getaway. The special package for Mothers Day includes overnight accommodation with coastal or ocean views, special Mother’s Dat brunch for 2 adults in Café 4750, $50 resort credit per stay and valet parking for one vehicle, one night. This package is valid from May 12 and 13, 2012, and is starting at $599.
I think that SPA day with my Mom would be a perfect idea. What do you think about the offers, rich girls? What are you planning to do on Mother’s Day this year? I would love to hear all about it! 
Maybe I could even copy your ideas, he-he.
Yours,

7 Ways To Celebrate Valentines Day In Luxury
January 28, 2012 by Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog, Rich Photos
Valentine’s Day is one of my most favorite days of the year, after my Birthday and New Years. I still remember how we all waited in anticipation this day in school, guessing if this year will be different and we will receive Valentine’s card from that special someone. Well, I received a lot of cute messages and cards on Valentine’s Day when I was studying, but never from someone I really wanted, which always made me feel disappointed. Now I remember it with a smile, back then it was a tragedy of my life.
Valentine’s Day is all about chocolate, red roses, champagne and love. Love between two people, what can be more beautiful and magical? There is no surprise that a lot of people choose Valentine’s Day for marriage or proposal, because everything around screams of love and unity. Together forever! This is the day when you want to believe in eternal love and true soul mates, the day you want to do something special and celebrate in style and luxury.
That is why I selected 7 most exciting and romantic ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in The Ritz-Carlton hotels around the world.
The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas – Champagne Sunset Sail
I think that sunset is the most romantic part of the day. What do you think? How would you like to enjoy a beautiful & romantic sunset in the Caribbean waters with a live guitarist on-board?! Well, The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas is offering a special Champagne Sunset Sail this Valentine’s Day aboard Lady Lynsey, the resort’s luxury 53-foot catamaran which will pick guests up right from the resort beach.
Toast your romance with a selection of Champagne, savor specialty hors d’oeuvres and enjoy the soothing sounds of a live guitarist on-board as you sail through the serene Caribbean waters and watch one of St. Thomas’s legendary sunsets.
The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island – Fire by The Dunes
How about personal fire in the dunes, where a crackling fire, comfy blankets and the sound of soothing waves draw you closer?! If you and your partner love the beach, then the Fire by The Dunes experience at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island would be perfect choice for you this Valentine’s Day. The beach and fire by the dunes also includes s’mores, a thermos of hot chocolate, thermo cups and high-powered celestial binoculars for star gazing. A personal attendant is nearby to cater to your needs.

The world’s highest bar Ozone is offering a bespoke “Take Your Breath Away Dining Experience” which includes an exclusive use of the private dining room located at 490 metres above sea level, featuring captivating vistas of the city and Victoria Harbour; a 10-course menu, a bottle of Louis Roederer, Cristal 2004, a bouquet of 99 roses and a box of 99 pieces of chocolates. This exclusive package is available only on February 14 for one couple at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.

A bottle of champagne with chocolate-coated strawberries and red roses, an ESPA gift and an afternoon tea for two at Café 103 are with the Spa’s compliment to complete the sweetest experience ever.
The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain – Romance Menu And Chocolate Decadence Buffet
This option will be perfect for people, who love chocolate, which is almost everyone of us. The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain restaurant’s à la carte romance menu on Valentine’s Day will include a Chocolate Decadence buffet created by Executive Chef David Serus. Valentine’s Dinner at CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar will feature such main course selections as Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Green Asparagus and Dungeness Crab Béarnaise, Goat Cheese Soufflé Colorado Lamb with Truffle Gnocchi, and Pan-Seared John Dory with Crushed Fingerling Potatoes.

The Ritz-Carlton World’s Highest Hotel
April 12, 2011 by Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Travel
Hey, hey, girls! Have you already heard about the latest addition to the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain – The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong?! The hotel opened in the end of March this year and is the world’s “highest” hotel at the moment, located at the very top of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Hong Kong, occupying floors 102 to 118. I haven’t been there yet, but those who visited this hotel were raving about the magnificent and absolutely breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the iconic Hong Kong skyline as well as absolutely fantastic service and key amenities at the hotel.
I think that we, girls, will love this hotel for several reasons:
First reason – the SPA
At the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel they have SPA by ESPA – which is my absolute favorite SPA in the world! Although, the best location for the SPA to my mind is somewhere outside on a secluded island or a beach, where you can enjoy the fresh air, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore and twittering of exotic birds, the ESPA at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong offers something more unique – SPA at the 16,000 feet above the ground with floor-to-ceiling windows! Have you ever been to the SPA on the 116th floor with panoramic views before?!
Second reason – Chocolate Lounge
Us, girls, we love chocolate! And, yes, we are on a constant diets and blah, blah, blah. But I haven’t seen a girl in my life who would refuse a delicious chocolate or exquisite desert at least once in while. And at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong there is a chocolate-themed lounge named The Chocolate Library on the 103rd floor and a stylish patisserie located on the 9th floor as well as three restaurants on the 102nd floor.
Third reason – Shopping
Shopping is the main reason of all my travels, just kidding (not really!). The one million square foot Elements shopping mall in the podium of the International Commerce Centre offers some of the finest shopping in Hong Kong with luxury brand names.
These are the main reasons why I already know that I will love the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel, but of course there are a lot more things this amazing hotel has to offer. Like the largest ballrooms in the city at 10,000 sqft., elaborately decorated with a sea of crystal chandeliers. The décor of the Diamond Ballroom will be perfect for weddings, meetings and gala events.
And the comfortable rooms with amazing views will guarantee you will wake up happy and ready for an exciting day ahead of you.
At the end of the successful and adventurous day there is nothing better than a refreshing drink in a bar, right?
I really loved this hotel and the pictures! But if you want to get the better idea and feeling, I suggest you to watch this video:
After writing about this amazing hotel and viewing all these pictures, I have realized that it is time for me to travel to Hong Kong. What about you, girls? Have you been to Hong Kong before?
Have a great day!

Rich Girls Find Bulgari Watch Under Pillow
March 10, 2011 by Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Travel
People say that rich girls have amazing life: they travel around the world, always get what they want, their path in life is covered with rose petals and smells like expensive perfume, and all they ever do is party and drink champagne! Well, now in addition to all that rich girls can also have their personal exclusive luxury tooth fairy.
You may ask how is that?! Well, I just received amazing offer from the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas and the newly-unveiled Bulgari boutique at North Park Center. These two luxury mega brands have partnered to offer a “surprising” new guest experience beginning March 1 through Labor Day 2011.
What they came up with is to my mind the amazing offer called “The Suite Dreams Shopping Experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas” and which will be best suited for us, rich girls, who adore Bulgari jewelry. The package features a one-night stay in a Deluxe Suite complemented by included transportation to the Bulgari boutique located just a few minutes from The Ritz-Carlton. In addition to Bulgari concierge shopping assistance, guests staying on the new package will receive a Bulgari gift during their visit to the boutique — either a selection from the iconic brand’s celebrated international fragrance collection, or a stunning Bulgari coffee-table book written by Sotheby jewelry experts Daniela Mascetti and Amanda Triossi.
So, Bulgari shopping and presents for shopping, sounds great isn’t it?! But the main catch is the complimentary Bulgari watch! Because one Suite Dreams guest per month will receive a complimentary Bulgari watch nestled under his or her pillow during the stay. The Bulgari Carbon Gold Limited Edition Watch will be presented to a single Suite Dreams guest per month, featured as part of evening turn down service in the one guest’s suite and selected via a random process.
I think this offer will be great for planning your next girls get-together, because it combines everything which girls love: shopping, presents, surprises and having a good time. I personally have never been to Dallas, so I could also add sightseeing to all the above.
So, girls, what do you think?! Does it sounds interesting and exciting to you?! Let me know what you think in the comments below.
