To be fresh and fabulous in the latest trends look no farther than Biella by Ruth Michelle day spa and boutique. This hot spot popped up in downtown Tacoma two years ago and has everything from spray tanning to laser teeth-whitening. With gorgeous open rooms for private couples massage, facials, steam rooms and a sauna that will burn up to 600 calories in an hour. This place is huge, with exciting treatments around every corner and a delicious espresso stand upstairs. The boutique carries brands such as Tulle, Kensie, C, Proper Tea, and Angel denim. Angel is a new jean that fits like a designer pair but is completely affordable and adorable. Here owner Ruth Michelle is in a beautiful Mac n’ Jack blouse and trousers looking professional and cool. She pulls her whole outfit together with her impeccable taste in jewelry with earrings done by Creative Edge also sold in her boutique. Michelle even has her own body and skin care line made with all organic, natural fair trade products — custom blended in Oregon and bottled at the spa. The pear vanilla sugar scrub is just one of her many must-have items. Treat yourself to a day of luxury, experience plush celebrity style treatments, and pick up a brand new wardrobe to walk out as a fabulous new you.
