Dreaming about relaxing in a five star resort and indulging in one of the top luxury spas in the world? For one Eminence Organics contest winner, Karen Coigne, that dream became reality when she took the Grand Prize in our Holiday Contest and won a trip to the award-winning Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa in Florida!

Eminence Organics presented our winner with an exclusive retreat for two to Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa including 3 nights’ accommodation, roundtrip airfare, a luxury spa package, and more. Lauded as “One of the 10 Most Luxurious and Best Designed Spas of the World,” Eau Palm Beach reflects the height of indulgence with a 42,000 square foot spa surrounded by oceanfront views and lush tropical gardens.

For Karen, her stay at Eau Palm Beach was a thrill of a lifetime, and we were excited to ask her a few questions about her time at the stunning resort. She graciously took the time to give us an interview and a peek into her experience at Eau Palm Beach:

Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
My name is Karen Coigne, and I live in Doylestown, PA. I work as a senior sales manager.

How did you find out that you won and what did it feel like?
I was curious [about the call from Eminence Organics] and listened to the voicemail as soon as it dropped in. Immediately, I returned the call and was so excited to hear that I had won the grand prize. Oddly, when I entered the contest, I had turned to my son and told him we were heading to an awesome spa vacation – I’ve always believed in Eminence Organics! The first thing I did after learning I won was to call my son and then all my friends to tell them.

What was your first impression when you reached Eau Palm Beach?
The trip arrangements were so thorough; I have always wanted to have a driver holding a sign flashing my name when I got to baggage claim and that is what I experienced! Upon arrival at the beautiful hotel, we were greeted by name by the PR manager who offered us champagne, took care of our luggage and gave us a tour of the hotel which was fabulously designed by Jonathan Adler. Design details emerged at every turn merging luxury and casualness. I felt an immediate sense of calm and relaxation.

What were a few of the most unforgettable things about your time at the resort?
The food was wonderful, the service and friendliness of the staff, impeccable. Hostesses, wait staff and front desk staff all knew us by name. Our beautiful ocean view room with a balcony overlooked one of the pools and lush gardens where I participated in morning yoga.

Can you tell me a bit about your Eminence Organics facial treatment at the spa?
My treatment started with Eminence Organics Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub followed by a bubble bath in the private garden surrounded by lush foliage and a waterfall. A deep tissue massage followed. I have had many facials but none that left my winter skin feeling so plump and hydrated for several weeks afterwards. A combination of products were used including Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum, Hibiscus Instant Line Filler and Bright Skin Moisturizer. I had been using the Firm Skin Acai Moisturizer but after my facial, switched to the Bright Skin Moisturizer which has helped to maintain the glow and hydration gained from the facial.

How did the experience make you feel?
I felt like a movie star with full star treatment. My body, mind and spirit felt rejuvenated. Based on my experience, from now on, the only facials I want to get will use Eminence Organics products, the sole products I use at home.

What was your feeling at the end of your visit?
We were, of course, sad to leave after four days but thrilled to have had such a luxurious experience. I would recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to avail yourself of Eau Spa and an Eminence Organics facial. The spa itself was amazing and I could check in there for a week!
