​Ten winners of The Art of Beauty contest, kicked off by FiND iT FREDERiCK, came together last week for a relaxing evening filled with pampering, food, drinks and laughter. Owners and licensed estheticians Laura Charuhas, Connie Sell and Becky Carr greeted guests with warm paraffin hand dips followed by a glorious hand and arm massage. Instantly guests were soaking in the easy atmosphere, enjoying wine and making new friends while awaiting their turn for a 15 minute massage with Katrina Martindale a certified massage therapist and reflexologist. Her hands never seemed to get tired as each person reemerged with the same outstanding sense of satisfaction. To end the entire night, everyone was treated to a custom make-up lesson using Jane Iredale mineral makeup.

If these services aren’t enough to get you excited, the hour and a half European Facial will, according to Connie Sell. “It is a fantastic experience that includes massages of your upper body, face, feet and hands. It’s unlike any other facial you can imagine,” said Sell.

Newly added services include gel manicures and pedicures by nail technician Nicole Brown and an additional massage therapist Barb Trojecki.

About Elk Run
Elk Run Vineyards is nestled in the rolling hills of Frederick County surrounded by dairy and horse farms and fields of wheat and corn. The winemaker’s home is circa 1756. Since 1983 Fred and Carol Wilson and Neil Bassford, along with associates, family and friends, have made Elk Run a shining star among American wine producers.
Combining new world research and technology with old world traditions and values, Elk Run’s focus is on producing high quality grapes. Warm days and cool nights preserve the fruity character in the wines. Practicing sustainable agriculture, close spacing and great attention to crop levels allows the wine maker to create wines of varietal character, structure, balance and good color.
