Relax, Renew and Rejuvenate Close to Home

Whether inspired by economic pressures from higher gas prices, downturns in the stock market, increases in food costs and/or other financial demands ... the importance of self care remains vital. Along with the staycation which these conditions gave birth to, the spacation affords the opportunity for relaxation, renewal and rejuvenation close to home.

Choose from a single service or a full package at a spa near you. Go alone, with a friend, family member or special loved one. Treatment options generally include massages, facials, body treatments, water treatments and energy work (such as reiki discussed in a previous blog post) with some offering salon services such as hair and nail care.

Above and beyond the spacation, incorporating spa services into your lifestyle is a "high return" way to honor and care for yourself. One approach that I have adopted is to plan for a massage a quarter, a facial a quarter and another service of choice a quarter. This ensures a spa visit each month and a wonderful treat to look forward to.
