|
Spa weekend is the answer when you have come to the end of your rope. Why not indulge your senses and rejuvenate your soul?
Couples are using this time both to relax and to reconnect with each other, and many spas have treatment rooms where couples can get massages side by side.Spas used to be just for the rich and famous. However, between the media and celebrities, they have helped to take spas from luxury to necessity.
Spas and spa weekends are attracting more and more couples, teens, pregnant women and men.
Now you can pamper and invigorate yourself during an extraordinary escape of fabulous spa treatments, from a cleansing facial, manicure or pedicure to comforting massage therapy or heated mud bath, all offered at affordable luxury spas throughout.

PRICES:
You'll discover that Spa rates vary tremendously. But even the fanciest resorts offer discounts. Here are some ways to economize:
- Go offseason -- that means summer in Arizona, early spring in New England and November to April in places like Sonoma Valley, Calif.
- Get shorter treatments -- 30 minutes instead of 60 -- and ask destination spas if they have day spa packages.
- Go midweek. Most spas list midweek packages on their Web sites.
- For group discounts of up to 30 percent, get a few friends together.
Beauty Spa at Home
However, if you are in a financial tight or simply can't afford the time it would take to get away for an indulgent weekend... Not to worry, you can still spoil yourself and lose all traces of stress as you enjoy an elegant spa weekend at your home.
You can enjoy a luxurious spa experience without setting foot outside your front door.
All it takes are some well-chosen products, imagination and the willingness to free yourself from the cares of the world for a few precious hours.
Some helpful hints:
- Make a sacred space. With the right atmospheric touches, your bathroom can easily be transformed into a soothing sanctuary. Draw the shower curtain, or use a screen to create a privacy zone. Add mood lighting, such as scented candles, or exchange a soft-white lightbulb for a soft-pastel-colored one. Play relaxing background music or a tape of affirming meditations.
- Pamper yourself with spa treats. Having a ready supply makes it easy to treat yourself whenever you get the urge.
- Share the experience. Gather a group of friends and host a Spa Party in which you take turns giving one another manicures, pedicures and facial masks. Make it really special and hire a masseuse to come to your home and treat your guests to a half-body or foot massage.
Home-Spa Essentials
Scented candles: Choose scents with aromatherapy benefits, ones that promise to illuminate for hours or decorous styles adorned with pressed flowers or dried fruit.A foot soak: Ease those tired tootsies with a indulgent foot soak bath.
A facial mask: Take advantage of your time in the tub by multitasking: Apply facial cleanser to your face while you soak.
A bath treat:
A moisturizer: The pampering doesn't stop when you step out of the tub. A rich moisturizer helps rehydrate the skin.
A massage oil: For hands-on healing, nothing beats it.
