Jessica Boyington has more places to take care of yourself in this week's Top 6.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Already given up on your New Year's resolution?

Change doesn't have to be impossible. I have some self-care ideas for the Action News Top 6.

Heyday in Rittenhouse Square is a spa dedicated solely to providing personalized facials for people who are on the go! My esthetician, Hadiyyah, designed a treatment just for me (and my dry skin) starting with a calming cleanse and followed by a hydro microdermabrasion!

At CorePower Yoga in Center City, they believe that an intense physical workout with the mindfulness of yoga can change your life. Each studio is kept at a temperature between 93 and 98 degrees, so there's no doubt you will sculpt your body and sweat it all out - making this class unlike any yoga session you've ever experienced!

For the last 8 years in the Midtown Village location, Giovanni & Pileggi has been providing some of the best cuts, color, hair extensions, waxing, and mani/pedis in the tri-state area. I was in desperate need of taming for my wild naturally curly mane, and I received the full experience from Giovanni himself!

Jessica Boyington takes a look at some self-care spots in Philly which will make sure you feel great in 2023!

Here's a little something I've never done before...I visited Acupuncture Off Broad for a treatment I was (rightfully) a little nervous about. Co-owner and certified acupuncturist Eva Zeller took great care of me and seemed to find great joy in placing little tiny needles all over my body. She says that acupuncture is great for relieving stress and providing relaxation, and vowed that I would sleep like a baby following treatment.

Formation Sauna and Wellness Spa in Northern Liberties specializes in the relaxation of the mind, body, and spirit, using aromatherapy, massage, sauna, and sound baths, a soothing practice with healing qualities that allows for deep breathing and meditation.

You probably already know her, and if you know her, you definitely already love her...it's Shoshana! (No, this isn't an Action News Fitness Tip...) If you don't catch Shoshana on Action News, you will find her here, at SoulBeat Studio! A fitness studio in Audubon, Pa. that focuses on your mind, body, and soul using rhythmic cycling, TRX, barre and HIIT workouts to get the job done. It's difficult to make excuses here too, Shoshana has FIVE boys, (YES, FIVE!), and one of them was waiting for her in the playroom a door away. She designed the room for parents, because with it you never need to find a sitter. Shoshana is a hands-on instructor, and a force to be reckoned with, hooking members instantly with her positivity and encouragement.
