Patch Picks: Five Spas To Get Rid Of The Blahs
Everyone needs a little rest and relaxation and if a vacation is not a possibility, there's still a way to rejeuvenate that will fit any budget. Go ahead and be SPA-taneous—you deserve it.
Taking care of others comes easy to most—taking care of ourselves, not so much. A visit to a spa for women and men alike is a great way to revive your sense of well being, but the cost is often a deterrent.
Treating yourself doesn't mean you have to break the bank. There are a variety of packages available. And consider some tips to offset the cost: asking multiple people for a certificate for a birthday (or Mother's or Father's Day), using credit card rewards or saving the contents of your spare change jar. Entering your e-mail address on a spa's website ensures you'll receive notice of special discounts.
Most spas offer similar-type services but put their signature on unique atmosphere, technique and personal attention.
