WHAT IS SPA ?
It
is a place where one can go to relax, cool down, feel good, and get
rid of stressful situations. It's a place to indulge yourself
whether it be for an hour at a day spa or a week at a luxury resort.
It's an opportunity to improve your approach towards life and deal
with daily situations. Spas encourage a transformation that has
nothing to do with weight loss.
There are several types of spas.
DAY SPA
The first is the day spa, where beauty treatments such as facials,
massages, and body wraps are the norm. Day spas are cropping up in
virtually every city. Be cautios, just because a beauty
parlour hires a massage therapist does not transform it into a
legitimate day spa. Most day spas encourage purchasing facial, body,
and skin care products in their retail shops.
RESORT
SPA
The next type is the resort spa. This is basically a large
hotel-resort with a spa attached. These are very popular for couples
because generally men are not as inerested in multiple-day spa trips
as women. With the resort spa, the men can golf or play tennis while
the woman enjoys manicures, pedicures, aromatherapy massages and the
like. Another difference between day and resort spas is the food.
Food at a resort spa tends to be traditional resort-gourmet food
with a few low fat selections thrown in to satisfy the person trying
to lose weight. Also, at resort spas nobody gives you a disapproving
look if you order rich diets.
DESTINATION
SPA
The third type of spa is the destination spa. Here one can eat,
sleep, and think spa vacation. This type of escape is unbelieveably
popular these days. People are looking for an escape where they can
feel that they are at the top of the world. At the destination spa,
your main decision is whether to luxuriate in the aromatherapy tub,
meditate, try yoga, take a low-fat cooking class, go for a hike, or
perhaps try tai chi for the first time. Food here is generally
delicious, abundant, low-fat, and healthy. Spas today leave you
relaxed, physically revitalized, and spiritually renewed, with a
fresh sense of natural wonder and appreciation for life that will
enrich your own life for quite some time.
