De-Stress w/a Spa Adventure
Spas are
a great way to relieve stress!
Stressed out people are taking
advantage of Spas in record
numbers. More and more women,
men and teens are prioritizing
spa visits, making
salons and spas among the
trendiest hangouts to date.
Why?
One, stress is one of the
major causes of diseases like
cancer and most other
sicknesses. It has been proven
that the benefits of a spa
experience are very
effective in reducing stress.
Second, where else can one
feel pampered and beautiful at
affordable prices? Most of
all, they provide a fun way to
just hang out with your
friends and acquaintances.
A spa gives you an
all-encompassing experience.
Depending on ones choice, it
can be a great way to
jumpstart a diet or make a
major lifestyle change in a
supportive environment. The
relaxing atmospere of a spa
experience has a very powerful
healing effect on your body.
It used to be that
spas were about
relaxation, beauty and
pampering. Now the new
demand is for healing
modalities- body therapies
that focus on moving energy in
the body.
Basic treatments at a
spa may involve several
things:
The most popular service and
the best place to start is
Therapeutic Massage.
Massage has a number of health
benefits.
The second most popular
service is the European
Facial. This involves skin
analysis, deep cleansing,
massage, and extraction. Body
treatments are essentially
facials for the whole body.
The most popular body
treatment is a salt glow or
body scrub.
Hydrotherapy tubs, steambaths
and saunas may be included in
the array of utilities
offered. Saunas are deeply
relaxing and a great way to
melt away stress. They are
valuable in stimulating
circulation, improving the
elimination of waste products
through the skin.
Many spas offer manicures and
pedicures, and
spa/salons
offer hair cutting and styling
services. Some spas offer a
wide selection of exercise and
outdoor activities to choose
from. Even an exercise as
simple as walking will make
and keep our bodies fit. Our
bodies can only function if
the body structure is sound
and our blood is pure. Spas
continue to be considered a
sanctuary from stress.
TIPS:
-
Always
check to see what's
included. Meals? Treatments?
Tax? Service fees? And some
resort spas even charge
extra for yoga or aerobic
classes.
-
Tips of
15-20% are typical at day
spas. The therapist gets
just 40% to 50% of the fee
for the service at most, so
they rely on tips.
-
Destination and resort spas
often charge a service fee
of 15-20%, but they keep
most of that-sometimes all
of it-themselves. So if you
really appreciated your
service, tips are
appreciated if not expected.
-
Best Spa-Bargains is
that you can save by
traveling off-season. In the
Northeast, rates are lower
in the winter, higher in the
summer. It's the reverse in
the Southwest and Florida.
-
Plan your
stay during the week rather
than on weekends. A Thursday
night arrival will cost more
than a Sunday night arrival.
-
Look for
special bring-a-friend
programs. You can also make
the most of your time by
arriving early in the
morning on your first day
and leaving late your last
day.
Last but
not least is to simply enjoy!
