There are plenty of destination spas that focus on health and wellness, both physical and spiritual. These spas can truly change your life, kick-starting a weight-loss program or helping you manage your stress. Of course, if a week at a spa is a bit too much, you can always include a day spa during a girl's getaway in NYC or any other vacation. |
