fat farm.
slimming down sans diet and exercise may seem like a fantasy but now it's a tad closer to reality. the bliss fat girl sleep ($38) is their new nighttime body cream, scented with a mod blend of valerian and lavender. you'll drift off to dreamland while cellulite reducers do the heavy lifting. 12 west 57th street. between 5th & 6th. 212.219.8970. www.blissworld.com


dream on.
skip the hustle and bustle of the hamptons this memorial day. kick off the summer season right with the chopra center & spa ayurvedic experience ($130). the 60-minute treatment loosens toxins and impurities in the body, and enlivens consciousness through marma therapy. dream hotel. 210 west 55th street. between 7th and 8th. 212.246.7600. www.chopracenterny.com


doing his part.

get tressed.
protect strands from the pending sun and surf with rene furterer protective summer oil ($23). incorporating KPF (keratin protecting factor 90), the prod gives hair a boost with sesame oil and a handy, dandy UV filter that shields and locks in moisture. available at www.beauty.com


somme time.
tuck the somme institute mobile travel kit ($85) into your weekender and hop on the jitney. scaled down and perfectly calibrated for a one week escape, this travel 5-step regimen has proprietary vitamin MDT5 complex and is neatly organized in usage order. in short, blunder proof. available at www.sommeinstitute.com


par for korres.
you are obsessed with their fig body butter, guava lip balm and thyme honey face mask. now get the chance to pick up korres prods at their newest shop across the bridge in brooklyn. the store gives ode to their greek background with a nod to the brooklyn nabe. in need of a last-minute gift? pick and pack your fave treats here (something you can't do at the soho stop). 140 montague street. between henry and clinton. 718.643.9425. www.korres.com


xac attack.
they've been in and around new york cutting hair for years, but now the boys behind the xac anthony salon are looking to make some roots. their chelsea spot is a great place for a trim (for the boys too), but go for the bar in the back and the in-house tattoo artist. consider it one-stop shampooing. 140 west 19th street. between 6th and 7th. 212.929.5459. www.xacanthony.com
