THINK ONE WORD - SPA
Read this only if you are interested in doing something special and pampering for yourself

Like most women, you are a professional caregiver. You give to your kids, your husband, your boss and many others who depend on you during the course of your day. It can take its toll over the course of time. And not to leave men out, they are faced with and ever increasing stressful lifestyles. Even in the traditional vacation, there are schedules to keep, the stress of travel itself and still having to cater to family. THERE IS ANOTHER WAY....

There are SPAS for every budget and every lifestyle. And a good way to start learning about Spas would be to learn the various types.

Day Spa is a Spa that has no overnight facilities, but caters to services that can be done in one day, such as beauty services, massage therapy, excerise classes, etc. A day at a spa can be incorporated into most city based vacations such as Las Vegas. * We have an extensive list of African American owned day spas around the country.

Mineral Springs Spas are usually associated with mineral springs, or mud that are known for their alleged curative powers. Hot Springs Arkansas is an example. These waters can be thermal, mineral, seaweed or mud.

Resort Spas are those resorts whose sole purpose is to administer spa services and wellness programs for the restoration of the soul. (See examples of wellness services below) These spas are always located in picturesque areas where the outdoor activities can be integrated into the environment. These offer overnight accommodations that feature healthy diets with a focus on relaxation and wellness.

Destination Spas like the resort spa is self contained and wellness centered. They offer comprehensive, all inclusive packages where every minute is planned. These are the top of the spa chain and can be expensive. But all services are personalized and one on one. It's like living the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Prices are certainly comparable to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica or Bahamas. They just come with a lot more personal attention. Most packages run from 3-7 days, or longer.

There are medical and holistic spas. These are spas that are health driven. Medical spas are usually those serving a single medical purpose, like weight reduction, or some type of medical re-education. Holistic Spas focus on alternative healing methods, and they integrate mind and body healing techniques.

Le Sport in St. Lucia is an example of a sports centered spa. These are spas for the sports enthusiasts who like constant activity such as golf, tennis or hiking. The spa treatments are geared to supporting an enhanced energy level for these activities.
