Here are deals offering great ways to beat the winter blues, from light therapy to indulgent spa treatments to ways to kick that “get fit” resolution into high gear. Unless otherwise noted, each offer is valid only during January.
Box of Light
Research suggests that light therapy can improve mood and overall mental health during
winter. Buy any SunBox Company product worth $150 or more this month and get free
shipping, valued at up to $50. To redeem, call 301-869-5980 and mention the magazine.

Tropical Fun
Have a good time and get fit at the newly renovated BodyHoliday resort in Saint Lucia,
known for its all-inclusive approach to wellness. Try yoga or Pilates or something
more adventurous such as archery or windsurfing. Besides rates that include all meals,
wine, and cocktails, guests are treated to such extras as daily 50-minute spa treatments,
scuba excursions, and golf and tennis lessons.
BodyHoliday is offering 15 percent off all stays between February 1 and March 31.
Book more than seven nights and receive a $200 spa credit per room (single travelers
get a $100 credit). To book, use the code TW130 at thebodyholiday.com.
Lift, Tone, Lengthen
Barre fitness—a blend of ballet, yoga, Pilates, and strength training—is Washington’s
hottest new workout. Get $100 off a month of unlimited classes at Lava Barre—usually
$225—to feel stronger and leaner by February. The first class is always free, so you
can test it without commitment. Use the code LAVA13 when you book online or call the
studio. 3260 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; 571-483-0468; lavabarre.com.
Best Face Forward
LED facials can reduce redness and acne as well as tone and lift aging skin for a
nice winter boost. At Pureskin, a gentle cleansing is followed by exfoliation with
a natural enzyme and a nourishing serum. Then relax with a shoulder-and-neck massage
and cooling herbal mist before your individually programmed LED therapy. The promise?
Skin that looks more radiant and even-toned after a single session.
This 80-minute treatment, normally $150, is 15 percent off when you ask for the
Washingtonian facial. 4609 Willow La., Chevy Chase; 301-907-6662; pureskinbethesda.com.
Hearty and Healthy
Soup is the ultimate feel-good food—perfect for that healthy-eating resolution. Soupergirl’s
soups, fusing modern flavors with old-fashioned techniques, highlight seasonal, fresh
ingredients from local farmers and producers. All are vegan and kosher, too. Think
black-bean-and-sweet-potato chili or creamy curried butternut squash.
Get 15 percent off a quart of soup or salad in January when you mention
The Washingtonian. Quarts of soup are normally $12.75, quarts of salad $12. This offer is good for in-store
purchases only. Limit of one quart of each per person.
