Message from Gail Sharp, TallGrass Owner

As you know, our theme at Tallgrass this year is “Celebrate!”

Last month, I was focused on celebrating my father’s life and mourning his passing. Obviously, I will miss him forever, but I do want to turn a corner now and start a new month of gratitude for what is joyful in my life. Both large and small. While I struggle with adjusting some of my not-so-great character traits like impatience and my need to be right, I have developed a wonderful habit of embracing gratitude every day.

I celebrate my health, my ability to walk and talk and breathe and take in the beauty of the world. Driving to TallGrass in the mornings is especially my time to enjoy. Today, mom and pop goose were pushing their brood of teenage chicks down the road, the sun was sparkling on the lake, and a huge, majestic bull elk was nibbling tasty vegetation right next to my car as I sat and watched.

I celebrate my animals (the goats are bigger but still adorable), and we all celebrate the lovable dogs we washed at our recent benefit for Evergreen Animal Protective League. My friends are my family of choice and I am thrilled to celebrate these relationships that enrich my soul. And, I even celebrate our new parking lot, though it was over budget and isn’t too glamorous.

Please share your celebrations with us – birthday, or friends reconnecting, or simply a day of peace and relaxation. I promise we will help you treasure your special moments here at TallGrass!

Relay For Life — TallGrass Team

In 1985, a doctor in Tacoma, Washington, walked and ran around a track for 24 hours and raised $27,000 to fight cancer. A year later, over 300 supporters joined him and the Relay For Life movement was born, to date raising nearly $5 billion for the fight against cancer.

The Relay For Life of Mountain Area comes to Evergreen on August 12 and TallGrass is fielding a team. We’re calling ourselves The TallGrass Trekkers and we’ll be celebrating people who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and raising funds to save lives. We’ll also camp out, take pictures, cheer our team, and challenge each other to see who can raise the most dollars for the American Cancer Society.

If you’d like to support our team by donating, volunteering, or sponsoring, we’d love to have you aboard. Please click here or call the spa for all the details.

Our seasonal specialties

Make the most of our limited edition summertime offerings with the Soothing Summer Escape Package being offered through September 30. It’s a collection of all our seasonal specialties.

We invite you to start with the Eminence Herbal Cellulite Wrap to regenerate and tone with paprika, stinging nettle and honey. Next comes the Blueberry Firming Detox Facial that we’ve been talking about. It’s ‘berry times three’ with the perfect combination of blueberry, raspberry and blackberry juices to deep clean, nourish and refresh your skin. Wrap it up with the Blueberry Bliss Pedicure. Yes! more berries because nothing says summer quite like fresh berries, so high in the antioxidants and phyto-nutrients that nourish and soften your skin.
