Come on the Go!

Just got back from the Scottsdale Westin, where I spent an entire day hanging out at the Agave Spa. I'm still running around and trying to unpack, but I'll dish all about it soon. As a preview: Pretty nice, could be better - but damn, it was well needed.

While I was at my conference, I was amazed by the amount of women who told me that they've never been to a spa. Maybe they've gotten a massage or two. But going to a spa for an entire day seemed so....decadent!

Ladies - decadent is where it's at! Even the worst spa day is better than one without a spa. Where else can you be rubbed, pampered and coddled WITHOUT having to rub, pamper or coddle back?

I love destination spas (like Sedona's Miiamo) where I can stay on-stie and immerse in the spa experience. Beauty day spas (like the ones they have in top hotels) are pretty cool, too. But if you're new to spas, it *would* be a freaky weird experience. Sometimes you can walk around totally nude (like the Olympus Spa in Lynnwood). Sometimes, you're expected to be a tad more demure. Either way, it's awesome.

If you're new to spas, Spa Finder, Inc
has a great "Spa 101" section. They explain everything from the types of spas to spa ettiquette to the different types of spas. Check it out!
