Vacation at Home with Portico SPA:
Hair, Bath, and Body Products Create an At-Home Spa Experience

Holiday shopping? Tired of the large mall chain stores? The Portico Home online store, a favorite of BeansTalk’s, offers a beautiful and elegantly simple selection of high quality products for the home, including furniture, lighting, art, linens, bath products, towels and accessories. We think many of the designs have a breezy and beachy appeal.

While you are still on the mental “breezy beach” we just created for you, here is another hot tip: BeansTalk just learned that Portico, recently announced the retail launch of Portico SPA, a personal care collection of hair, bath, and body products. While a selection of the products have successfully served as the signature amenities for Hyatt Hotels and Resorts in the US, Canada, and Caribbean since 2002, Portico SPA now makes its US retail debut so consumers can enjoy pampering long after they have checked out.

Staying true to the company’s philosophy that modern luxury for the home combines clean aesthetics with maximum comfort, Portico SPA extends these elements to personal care. “Portico has always aimed to help consumers create an environment that looks great and makes you comfortable, and we have now taken it a step further with the spa line,” says Bobby Berk, Director/Partner of Portico SPA. “Portico SPA offers all elements you need to create an at-home sanctuary where you can treat yourself and create a stress-free, chic ambiance at the same time.”

The Portico SPA unisex collection includes two hair products, a Clarifying Shampoo and Moisture Rich Conditioner; two bath products, Hydrating Shower Gel and Exfoliating Sugar Scrub; and two moisturizers, Renewing Body Lotion and Soothing Body Butter. Spa-inspired fragrances include Lavander+Citrus, White Ginger, Eucalyptus, and Verbena. BeansTalk finds the clear asymmetrical packaging modern and ergonomically pleasing as well.

BeansTalk is officially on the Verbena bandwagon. We were lucky enough to try the shampoo and conditioner set, and are particularly fond of the verbena scent, as is the lovestruck man of the house. We are also very happy with the clarifying effect of the shampoo, as we have found that even with daily washings, it will not dry out. The conditioner seems to add the bounce and shine our seven-year-old daughter enjoys naturally.

Clarifying Shampoo $12.50
Moisture Rich Conditioner $12.50
Hydrating Shower Gel $12.50
Exfoliating Sugar Scrub $16.00
Renewing Body Lotion $16.00
Soothing Body Butter $16.00

Portico SPA can be found at www.porticohome.com and specialty stores nationwide.
