Pelo West Spa at the Galt House
I recently had the opportunity to visit Pelo West Spa at the Galt House Hotel. This is not your typical generic hotel spa, y’all. It’s much, much better.
The edgy decor catches your eye immediately — black walls and green velvet sofas paired with local art. As you check in, you’re offered a choice of water, coffee, champagne or White Claw. I went with bubbles, since I was there to pamper myself!
Beyond the bubbles and the pretty decor, the spa treatments are wonderful! The esthetician, Andrew, was very attentive to my skincare needs and concerns, and he provided an absolutely fantastic facial. I was especially pleased with the microcurrent device treatment which left my skin feeling firm and fresh, as well as the take-home skincare samples. It was an absolutely wonderful experience!
If you’re staying at the Galt House or visiting downtown Louisville, book a visit with Pelo West. In addition to the fantastic facial, they offer massages, hair, nails, and a special Derby Weekend IV Hydration package! Cheers to Pelo West for offering fantastic spa services!

Oh, hi, giant pin in my thumb!
If you’ve been following along on my Instagram feed this summer, you know that I’ve had some major issues with my right (and dominant!) hand. I’ve experienced some pretty intense arthritis pain in the CMC joint at the base of my thumb due to wear and tear (hello, iPhone and keyboards and cooking and needlepoint!) as well as some structural issues. I underwent a fairly intense surgery in July and am still recovering and under severe use restrictions. I hate to complain, but I’ve been in A LOT of pain this summer, y’all.
I’ve also looked pretty awkward trying to hold things, but I suppose that’s a smaller complaint.
Both before my surgery and after my cast came off, my friends at Magnolia Aesthetics offered a unique treatment solution: LED light therapy. Ashlee, the incredible aesthetician at Magnolia, uses a professional-grade LED light therapy device which can be calibrated to different wavelengths to address chronic pain, fine lines, or acne. It’s an incredible device, really; Ashlee applies it my hand 3 times a week for 30 minute sessions, and I can feel a difference immediately! The light immediately goes to work increasing oxygen flow in the treated area, stimulating collagen production and activating pain relieving pathways. The result is a reduction in pain and inflammation. I certainly feel like I’ve healed a lot faster because of this treatment. I certainly can feel increased flexibility and reduced inflammation when I receive my treatments. It’s been such a valuable addition to my recovery! You can read more about the science behind LED light therapy for pain management here.
Ashlee also added the LED light to my most recent facial, which was a wonderful experience. We used the anti-aging setting to combat fine lines and wrinkles. When combined with hyaluronic acid, I could see a big difference in my skin texture almost immediately!
Thanks so much to Magnolia Aesthetics for sponsoring this post. Visit Magnolia Aesthetics at 149 Chenoweth Lane in St Matthews, give them a call at 502-632-2244, or email them to set up your LED light treatments today!
