OH YEAH - Best of NH - AGAIN!

NH MAGAZINE NAMES LOCAL BUSINESS "BEST OF NH 2010" Celebration June 24 at Verizon Arena to Benefit the New Hampshire Food Bank

The Wingate Salon & Spa has been selected by the readers of New Hampshire Magazine as “Best of NH 2010” for Best Day Spa. This year they received the highest amount of online votes ever at www.bestofnh.com. The winners will be feted at a celebration that each year draws more than 1,500 people. 

It’s happening on Thursday, June 24, at Manchester’s Verizon Wireless Arena from 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.  Partygoers can sample great food from dozens of restaurants, enjoy the entertainment and enter to win in a drawing for two tickets from Southwest Airlines — all celebrating the best New Hampshire has to offer.  “It adds up to one heck of a good time,” says Rick Broussard, editor of New Hampshire Magazine. “And, as a fund-raiser for the New Hampshire Food Bank, it’s for a good cause.”

One ticket buys you the whole evening of food, fun and music. To guarantee tickets, call (603) 868-7300, log on to www.ticketmaster.com or www.bestofnh.com. Proceeds from the event’s ticket sales will benefit the New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of New Hampshire Catholic Charities. The Food Bank, the largest non-profit food distribution center in the state, obtains and distributes donated and purchased food to 412 registered agencies that in turn provide the food to hungry people in New Hampshire through soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, and elderly and children’s programs.

Now we have ties to Rachel Ray!

Just as we were getting excited last week about our previous hair trainer being on Bravo's Shear Genius, we find out that Dr. Loretta Ciraldo - Dermatologist and skin care consultant for the Wingate Spa and researcher/developer of the Wingate Serious Skin Care line is going to be on Rachel Ray Show again!  With all the television I watch, this is more excellent news.  


This is actually her third visit to the show where she regularly contributes to the "Human Lab" segments.  In these segments viewers sign-up to test out different beauty products that are on the market today.  This time on Rachael Ray, Dr. Loretta will be talking to the Human Lab participants about their use of various cellulite removal products.  Hey...who doesn't want to get rid of cellulite?  But the funny part is that one of the products is actually a pair of really strange underwear that claims to rid you of cellulite forever while shaping and firming your body.  Spanx with benefits?  We shall see!!


Loretta Ciraldo, MD, FAAD is a nationally recognized expert in skin care and a Professor of Cosmetic Dermatology at the University of Miami School of Medicine.  Her advice has been featured in many magazines including Allure, Shape, New Beauty and Oprah.  Her skincare expertise has made her a recurring guest on Good Morning America, The Rachel Ray Show , the Today Show and on local Southern Florida stations.  Dr. Loretta is the author of the book “6 Weeks to Sensational Skin”.  In conjunction with the Wingate Management and Esthetics team Dr. Loretta helped to test and formulate our Wingate Serious Skin Care Line.  These are now our top selling retail products within the spa. 


Tune in to Rachael Ray everyday at 9am on local stations.
