Kick off a healthy 2012 with this oceanside detox package.

Dear Vital Juice,

I wish I could do a wellness retreat for the new year, but I don't have time for a big getaway--and everything I find costs a fortune. Can you recommend anything?

Dear WTGA,

There's a gorgeous boutique hotel on the water in Santa Monica where you can kick-start your year with a locally-made juice cleanse, personal trainer, spa food and even massage, within a single night's stay. Oversized suites, a heated pool, fitness center, and waves within walking distance make it the ideal spot to start fresh. We went for a mini getaway right before Christmas and the positive habits we picked up have followed us into 2012.

Get the details, and our experience, here.

Go on, be a beach babe.
