One of the 12 relaxing treatment rooms at the Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Whew! The holidays are over—no more running around to parties, holiday event overload, last minute shopping or obligatory visits with family. Relaxation and rejuvenation are definitely the order of the month!
Finding a spa to soothe your weary mind, body and soul is easy, as there are literally thousands in the U.S. alone, offering everything from 30-minute to daylong treatments for women, men, couples and even teens.
From facials to manicures, waxing, mud baths, eucalyptus steams, body scrubs, seaweed wraps and hot rock massage therapy, there is something for everyone.
If you’ve already discovered the joy of “spa-ing,” you know what I’m talking about. For those who have never indulged….believe me, it is time and money well spent.
Here are just a few fantastic spots where you can recharge your inner batteries:
The wind in the Windy City can be brutal on your skin. However, at the Honey Child Salon & Spa you can dream and smell of the islands with a mango honey sugar scrub, or lemongrass and tangerine hand scrub and massage. Now through March the Honey Child is offering several winter specials, including a Shea butter moisture blast facial.
One of my favorite spas is located in the Ozark Mountain paradise of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The Palace Hotel and Bathhouse--North Arkansas’ only operating historic bathhouse—offers mineral baths in the original claw-foot tubs, eucalyptus steam treatments in wood barrel steam cabinets, Bentonite facial mask treatments, aromatherapy, facials and glycolic peels, among a wealth of other services.
Nestled in a stunning, three-story Antebellum-style home in the heart of Historic Elizabeth near downtown Charlotte, Oasis Day Spa is the city’s premiere boutique spa. Rejuvenating specialty pedicures and manicures, soothing and fun spa-day getaway packages and exquisite massage therapies are just the beginning of the experience here. Try their new pumpkin peel, designed to introduce vitamins and enzymes into the skin as well as exfoliate and withdraw any body impurities via the powerful antioxidant formula. Brow, leg and “Peruvian bikini” are among the waxing services.
Offering a wide array of massage therapies, body treatments, manicures, pedicures and other services, the Sonoran Spa in Tucson is a must! Located at the Westward Look Resort and using all-natural desert botanicals, the environment here is captivating from the ever-present aromatic aromas to the cozy treatment rooms, refreshing relaxation and tearooms and private pergola-sheltered outdoor patio. The pomegranate body scrub treatment including a full body massage with pomegranate body butter is absolutely yummy!
Voted “Best Day Spa,” “Best Color & Highlights” and “Best Manicures & Pedicures” by CitySearch, the Spa Roma Urban Dream Spa is a Milwaukee favorite. In addition to spa services for women, girlfriend’s parties and couples, the spa also offers a wide selection for the men in our lives, including sports massages, purifying back treatments and skin fit facials, just to name a few.
The Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis is truly an urban oasis, offering pampering and wellness for every part of your body. The 12,000 square foot spa encompasses 12 luxuriously appointed treatment rooms, couples suites and several Jacuzzi tubs. For a jolt of java, try the exfoliating and detoxifying espresso mud body wrap with accompanying head and scalp massages, warm shower and hydrating crème massage. The Marrakech detox is one of the “Ritual” services.
