<p>Think relaxing and revitalizing treatments that calm the mind, pamper the body, and restore the spirit. Spa Bliss Savannah provides a wide range of skin, body and nail services, tailored to meet individual needs. Facials, massage therapy, microneedling, waxing, tanning, nail care are just a few of their offerings. Opened in 2018, Spa Bliss Savannah has since become synonymous for elite treatments, skilled technicians, and a serene atmosphere.</p>
<p>“It’s a relaxing, soothing place where you can come get beauty services and just be yourself,” said Spa Bliss Savannah owner Roselyn Gonzalez. “It’s a day to de-stress and feel beautiful inside.”</p>
<h2>With a background in beauty supply management, Roselyn had always dreamed of going to beauty school and helping people realize the beauty within.</h2>
<p>“I liked everything that had to do with hair, skin and nails, and so I decided to go to beauty school after so many years,” she said. Upon graduating, Roselyn landed a position with Spa Bliss Savannah and within six months, she was offered to purchase the business. A master cosmetologist, Roselyn, is certified in makeup, lash extensions, Korean lash lift, dermaplaning, and more.</p>
<p>“The beauty industry is what makes me feel happy,” she said.</p>
<h2>Her passion for the field is felt within every aspect of Spa Bliss Savannah.</h2>
<p>This is especially true when it comes to services they offer. Guests can book individual services or take advantage of the spa’s popular packages. The popular Blissful Package includes a customized massage with aromatherapy, followed by tea and cookies, and a customized facial. They also offer group packages with private relaxation rooms available for small and large parties.</p>
<h2>What sets Spa Bliss Savannah apart from other local spas is the commitment to excellence that undergirds every treatment.</h2>
<p>Roselyn and her staff are very mindful and intentional when it comes to sanitation and special needs. For example, they offer waterless manicures and pedicures for diabetics, who need to avoid submerging their feet in water because of the risk posed by harmful bacteria. Another point of distinction is the tranquil environment that Roselyn has carefully curated.</p>
<p>“From the moment you walk in, it’s just very relaxing. It’s very quiet for you to get away and take that time for yourself. My music is my playlist and I take that very seriously. The music is soothing you and relaxing until you get to your massage,” she said. “I make sure that clients are comfortable and in an environment where they can feel great and relax. That’s the most important thing from the hustle and bustle every single day — a lot of people don’t take the time to decompress.”</p>
<h2>Roselyn and her dedicated team provide the ultimate spa experience.</h2>
<p>“I take the business very seriously, and we’re always learning new techniques and methods, being open in every service we provide, and just making everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and beautiful on the inside and out.”</p>

<title>Lights over Buc&amp;ee’s interstate exit dimmer – but not to help baby turtles</title>

<description><![CDATA[ If you’ve headed north on I-95 from the Golden Isles or stopped at the local Buc-ee’s, you may have noticed a change: dimmer lights at Exit 42.

But the lower wattage now in effect isn’t to save the turtles. It’s due to burned-out bulbs and a lightning strike. ]]></description>

<p dir="auto" data-start="244" data-end="615">The museum’s focus is strongly community-based and STEAM-oriented. Rather than traditional exhibits where children mostly look at things, the idea is for kids to actively participate—for example, exploring pretend careers and community services, experimenting with science concepts, and engaging in creative and imaginative play.</p>
<h3 dir="auto" data-section-id="hr36d8" data-start="617" data-end="640">What you can expect</h3>
<p dir="auto" data-start="642" data-end="691">Some of the planned/featured experiences include:</p>

</ul>
<p dir="auto" data-start="1680" data-end="1869">The museum is intended primarily for children roughly ages 2–12, with programming that can change periodically to accommodate different age groups. The museum offers field trips, parties, memberships and gift cards and is located inside the Mount Berry Mall. </p>

<p>Savannah Oktoberfest is a festival that takes place on the riverfront, turning the Plant Riverside District into a Bavarian-style beer garden every autumn. The 2026 event will happen from October 3 to October 11, and most activities will be on two weekends: October 3-4 and October 10-11. These events take place along the Riverwalk and MLK Park, which are part of the West River Street waterfront in Savannah.</p>
<ul>
<li>The main highlights of the 2026 festival include free games and activities throughout the event, with a special event called the Wiener Dog Races happening on Saturday, October 10 at 11 a.m.<br>
at MLK Park. Other fun games and competitions, like Pretzel Fishing, Strudel Stroll, Keg Bowling, and Stein Holding, will be available over the two weekends on the Riverwalk.</li>
<li>The main event is the Wiener Dog Races at MLK Park on Saturday, October 10 at 11 a.m. It’s a family favorite that draws a big crowd, so arriving early is a good idea to get a good view. Because the timing of the games can change each day slightly, you can check the daily schedule on-site or call ahead if you’re planning around a specific activity.</li>
<li>The festival itself is free to attend, with games and general activities on the Riverwalk being free. Food and drinks will be available for purchase, with options like bratwurst, pretzels, and strudel, along with seasonal beer.You can bring cash or a card for food, and there’s no cover charge for walking around or watching the games.</li>
<li>The Plant Riverside District has a big parking garage on site, and it gets filled up quickly on festival weekends compared to regular evenings — arrive earlier than usual for a normal River Street visit, especially if you’re near the 11 a.m.</li>
