I absolutely love this micro-series so far. It's incredibly cute, but what many parents will love is that it's more child friendly than the main comic series. I love that the main series is so dark in tone, but it's also fun to see a little light-hearted playfulness in the micro-series.
I actually think that this issue is a little better story-wise than the previous two issues. I loved both Rainbow Dash and Twilight's stories, but Rarity's is a bit better summed up altogether. Plus it's just fun to see Rarity's expressions when she gets dirty.
The artwork here is incredibly cute and I absolutely love seeing the aforementioned expressions whenever Rarity is forced to take part in various activities around the "spa". I've re-read this multiple times since I got it the other day and I really can't wait for the big volume edition to come out so I can get all of the various covers and any inevitable bonuses.
On a side note, the next issue looks like it's taking place during Fluttershy's childhood, so get ready for a cutie heart attack.

Andy Price and Katie Cook do it again! They are amazing when it comes to telling stories by both the plot and the designs. Love this one so much!

I can't stand hipsters, but I do like Rarity - so I'll only take off half a star. 3.5/5.
It was neat to see her help automate & sell the random products they make, and I do agree with her assessment that Applejack would like the place.
Twilight insisting on sending a letter at the end was pretty funny too lol - especially since even Celestia was like "why'd she send a letter when I was right there?."

This comic grew on me when I re-read it again (because some of the ponies from this comic show up in a later Micro-series installment).
Rarity decides to go to this retreat, only to discover that her "accommodations" are in a barn and that she has to work all day on the farm.

I read this because my daughter is TOTALLY obsessed with anything My Little Pony right now. This was probably my favorite one about the Mane Six. It was hilarious and very well done. Some of the looks and comments from Rarity were priceless.

I loved how Rarity managed to help those ponies she didn't even like at first. It's a wonderful story.

I like that Rarity helped the hippie ponies, even though they did her wrong. But, I was still overall unimpressed with this story.
