Editor Find: Lavish Body and Home - Carry On | Travel + Leisure

09.28.12

Most people know Scranton, Pennsylvania, as the fictional setting of NBC?s ?The Office.? Turns out the ?Electric City? is also the real life-setting of one of the most charming little spas in the state: LAVISH Body and Home (600 Lindsen St.; 570/558-2273), founded by Matt Drace (a former Creative Director at Travel + Leisure) and Jon Chernes, one-time marketing guru for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Given their impressive design resumes, it?s no surprise that their home goods section is well edited, but the spa itself is a huge draw. Clients love the organic facials?each one is tailored to your specific skin type and uses everything from cucumber to rice bran to draw out impurities?but personally, I love the soaps, made in Northern California of locally sourced herbs (my favorite: orange cinnamon with olive, which smells a bit like Florida at the holidays).
