🔥 HOT OFF THE PRESS: Boise just got a direct flight to Honolulu, Hawaii on Alaska Airlines running daily from December thru March. See the details here.

🫧Boise got a Scalp Bar!!

Bubbly Scalp Bar is one of Boise's newest wellness experiences, offering luxurious scalp treatments designed to help you unwind.

Think deep scalp cleansing, massage, and an hour dedicated to slowing down and taking care of yourself. They are affordable too!

Definitely adding this one to your self-care bucket list.
