Your Second, Winter Olympic Home is Ready

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Real Estate Developments

Admit it, the biathlon has always fascinated you: skiing, spandex, and guns -- what's not to make a heart flutter? Vancouver, Canada isn't so bad either. With the Winter Olympics headed that way in sixty days you can add Granville Street and massive natural beauty to that fetching, dual-sport combination -- if only you had a place to stay...

Enter Evolution Whistler, a mountain home development just over a year old in the away-from-it-all Whistler Creekside. Evolution houses seventy residences from 590 sq. ft. up to 1,630 sq. ft., with 1 bed/ba units at the low end and 3 bed/ba units at the high. Some of them will be available during the Olympics, so when you're not slopeside at the ski jump or hoisting a nostalgic Jamaican flag at the bobsled, you can enjoy Evolution's own exercise facilities, outdoor sauna and hot tubs, or the eucalyptus steam room.

And if you decide you just can't get enough of Evolution or Vancouver, you can take a quarter ownership in one of Evolution's offerings -- there are 280 on offer -- with serious discounts from last year's The-Gods-Must-Be-Crazy prices. What better way could there be to remember the city where you jilted the biathlon and fell in love with the luge? (Don't worry, you will...)

Evolution Surf Travel Set

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

The Evolution Surf Travel Set includes three different skin treatments that are supposed to help combat the damage that sun exposure does to the skin. Their "intense healing" is intended to benefit even skin that has been overexposed to sun, sea and sand - as it is for many surfers, hence the name. The set includes: Exfoliating Bamboo Microdermabrasion Scrub (1.7 oz.), Smoothing Glycolic Coconut Crème (1.7 oz.) and Healing Day & Night Nourishing Crème (1.7 oz.). We're sure that they don't recommend trying to damage your skin in the sun while using the products, but if they really work, it's a good excuse to go to the beach a bit more often. Price: $440.
