Take a deep breath and try to remember the last time you truly pampered yourself. Take another breath and try to remember the last time you got a cheap flight to a new and relaxing destination. If you’re left in a brain fog, don’t you think it may be time to spoil yourself? Spa Week is the perfect opportunity to include luxury treatments and perhaps a trip abroad to recharge your burned out battery.

Spa Week began in 2004 as a concept to offer spa and wellness experiences for $50. We all know a luxurious treatment or massage is worth every penny, but sometimes, we neglect ourselves because of financial obligations. Enter Spa Week- which now includes millions of consumers who anticipate this week to enjoy quality spa experiences for less!

If you live in a big city, you’re familiar with the stress that constantly boggles you down. The noise of morning traffic, the busyness of rush hour and the fast paced lifestyle that leaves you drained by the day’s end. If you can’t manage to travel far, consider a quick weekend spa-getaway. For instance, if you live in New York City, head Upstate to Alora Laser Spa in Warwick, NY for a 60 minute energy balance massage. If you want a full package, try Lazur La Vie in Nyack for a Spa Facial with Aromatherapy, Steam and Custom Masque with Select Medical Aestheticians.

Lucky you for noticing you still have a few vacation days left to fulfill before the year’s end! We’re in October and you have yet to take an annual big trip- so what are you waiting for? Imagine taking a trip for a spa-cation to truly unwind? Did you know that Spa Week is featured in many states? You can take a trip to Miami and make it extra relaxing by visiting Allure Day Spa for a 50 Min Citrus, Lavender or Peppermint Aromatherapy Massage. The folks at Spa Week can also recommend International Resorts that may not include $50 Spa Week treatments, but will take you on one heck of a Zen-like vacation. We’re in love with Soneva by Six Senses in the Maldives. (Early Christmas present, please?)

Whether you’ve decided to take a trip out of state or outside of International borders, the best way to relax before a flight is to treat yourself to a massage. After all, it seems like airline seats are getting smaller, or maybe you’re getting taller? Being cramped on a plane and sleeping in awkward positions cannot be good for your neck. On your way to Newark Airport, plan your day and make time to stop at the Zeni Day Spa in Hoboken. The 50 Minute Signature Swedish Massage for Tension Relief sounds like the perfect way to relax before a flight. Just make sure not to be too relaxed that you’ll miss your flight!
