There are many benefits to visiting a day spa. People can relax, de-stress, and rejuvenate their bodies and minds. Day spas often offer a variety of services such as massages, facials, hair services, and more. Some people believe that day spas are more beneficial than traditional salons because they provide more individualized treatments. Here are the most popular benefits of visiting day spas.
Reduce stress
Spas offer a variety of services that can help you reduce stress and tension. Some of the features offered include massage, hydrotherapy, and aromatherapy. Massage is one of the most popular services because it helps to improve circulation and reduce stress. Hydrotherapy uses water to help improve circulation and relieve pain. Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote relaxation and relieve stress.
Relax muscle
Massage therapies have been used for centuries to help relax the body. Today, you can enjoy the benefits of massage therapy at a day spa. Day spas offer a variety of massages, each with its own unique set of benefits. Swedish massage, for example, is a popular choice that uses long strokes to help relieve tension and stress. Other massages, such as deep tissue massage and hot stone massage, are designed to target specific areas of tension in the body.
Benefits of massage therapy include relief from tension headaches, improved circulation, and reduced stress levels. Massage also helps to loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility. In addition, massage can promote relaxation and peace of mind, which can be especially beneficial for those who lead stressful lives.
Improve circulation
Massage therapy which is offered in most of the spas has many benefits, including improving circulation. Improved circulation can help improve your overall health by bringing more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and organs. This can help keep you healthy and functioning at your best. Additionally, massage therapy can help relieve tension and stress, which can also improve your overall health.
Detoxify the body
Detox baths are spa treatments that can help remove toxins from your body. The baths use ingredients like Epsom salts and baking soda, which help to open up your pores and draw out the toxins. The baths can also help to improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
Improve skin health
Spa treatments are a great way to improve the health and appearance of your skin. Facials, in particular, can help cleanse and exfoliate your skin, removing any impurities and leaving you with a radiant complexion. Additionally, facials can help improve circulation and promote collagen production, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Good for your nail health
Nail health is an important part of overall health, and regular spa treatments can help improve the condition of your nails. Manicures and pedicures can help remove dead skin cells and debris from around the nail plate, as well as soften cuticles and stimulate blood circulation. This can help keep nails healthy and strong, and can also help reduce the risk of infection.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a day spa can provide a variety of health and wellness benefits. If you are looking for a way to feel refreshed and rejuvenated, consider scheduling a visit to a day spa.

I am obsessed with Cliff and Soph bags. Steph the designer has a incredible eye and great attention to detail. She turns the most exquisite fabrics into the most uniquely chic clutches and purses. All of the purses are handcrafted using the finest materials and excellent craftsmanship. Most are one-of-a-kind as they have vintage embellishments. Steph also gives back a percentage of all sales to various charities. Currently, 20% of all Cliff and Soph sales go to Ukranian relief aid. I recently visited Steph in her studio to get a peek of what she is working on. The tiger is def my favorite but I am eyeing those rabbits for the summer. LOVE the pink. You can view all of the Cliff and Soph designs, HERE.

I really enjoyed the Netflix mini-series Anatomy of a Scandal. I was so impressed with the acting of Sienna Miller and of course her chic outfits! But what really stopped me in my tracks was the interiors. The Whitehouse home was perfection. I loved all the flower arrangements and plants scattered throughout. The all ivory living room was beyond gorgous. Below are some scenes from the movie. All photos are from Netflix.
I love how they used the Cole and Sons Woods wallpaper in the kitchen.
The library is so masculine. It has so much old world charm..
The living room is my favorite. I love the neutral color scheme with the pop of green. Also the art deco bar cart is stunning, as are the velvet chairs and glass lamps with drum shades.
The sitting room really mixes the old with the new “look” between the demask wallpaper, the comtempry art and the large brass mantle clock…brilliant…Also love the PINK!!!
Another shot of the Living Room…so interesting how the family portraits are postiioned off center to the side of the sofa. Again, the art deco influence in the side tables and large brass coffee table are incredible!!
Another view of the kitchen, the green color theme continues with the cabinets and Island. So pretty.
The dining area is simply beautiful. The oil painiting centered above the banquette is fabulous. Love the exterior door and the blonde wood dining chairs.

The number of men and women in the United States appears to be equal, however, women are living much longer than their male counterparts. By age 65, we outnumber men by two to one. Considering we have varied roles throughout our lives: partner, mother, employee, business owner etc. and those paths frequently can change, we need to take charge of our own retirement planning.
Here are three myths women face:
MYTH #1 – RETIREMENT WILL REKINDLE THE ROMANCE
Once the kids have moved out and you are ready to wind down your careers, you finally have time to rediscover your relationship with your significant other. In reality, many people struggle with this adjustment as they enter retirement. The proverbial “Honey-Do List” may become Honey, please do something on your own! Communication and planning are key to overcoming relationship challenges in retirement. We often come across people who put more time into planning a two-week vacation than they do planning for thirty-years in retirement.
MYTH #1 – SAVING FOR A 20 YEAR RETIREMENT IS ENOUGH
Women are living longer than men, so the changes of us outliving our savings is much higher. As of 2020, the average life expectancy is 77.3 for men and 82 for women. Our retirement planning needs to have a longer time horizon than just twenty years. Depending on your age at retirement, you may spend thirty years or more in this phase of your life. Adequate coverage for Long Term Care is a major concern that I hear every day from female clients. The average cost of nursing home care in New York is approximately $125,000 per year and considering Medicare will not pay for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) which make up the largest portion of LTC expenses this is something that should be part of any woman’s well-rounded retirement plan.
MYTH #2 – MY SPOUSE’S BENEFITS ARE ENOUGH TO COVER MY RETIREMENT
Even if you have your own retirement benefits, it is critical to understand what assets are available to you as the beneficiary of your spouse’s retirement and pension plans. Women on average earn $0.82 for every $1 earned by men, which generates a significant lifetime income gap. According to Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement women retirees tend to receive only half of the average pension benefits that men receive. Women are already at a savings disadvantage, and if you never worked, you may be even more dependent upon your spouse’s retirement plan. It is essential to review your spouse’s policies carefully and plan for missing income gaps.
