As autumn transforms to winter, it’s time for your gorgeous selves to make a transformation of your own, for the upcoming holiday season.

Mark this in your day planners ladies; a totally original Canadian event is giving you the opportunity to take advantage of phenomenal fixed prices (think major deals ) on hair, spa, skin, and health & wellness packages across Toronto’s Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood between October 28th and November 7th. Beautylicious, inspired by the culinary world’s popular Summer and Winterlicious held in the city every year, is making the beauty district’s incredible assortment of salons, spas, and health service providers more accessible to us all. With set price points of $25, $75, and $125 you can get your primp on without sacrificing the other essentials, like your morning Venti soy, no foam Green Tea Latte. You can even get your man in on these deals. “Hey babe, you need to get yourself a haircut” doesn’t sound so bad with “it’ll be at a fraction of the cost if you get it over with in the next couple weeks” thrown in at the end. This is the one time of the year you can go to Sassoon for a personalized hair treatment for only twenty-five dollars or Holts Salon for their signature facial priced at seventy-five dollars. As if that’s not enough, during this event you can continue to treat your pretty little self with a phenomenal lunch to further escalate the good-for-you feeling. The Manyata Courtyard Cafe is offering up a ridiculously delicious Beautylicious promotional three-course lunch menu for you to enjoy between 11:30 am and 3:30 pm on the day of your appointment for $19.95. Chai spiced carrot cake with pineapple mascarpone? I just died.
