Help Hurricane Victims!

We all watched helplessly as Hurricane Sandy tore through the Northeast last week, ravaging our beaches, leveling homes and leaving little left in her wake.

Now that the destruction has passed, there’s a lot that we all can do to help those in need. From November 9-11, Spa Week will be offering aid to those in need by donating 10% of all proceeds from Spa & Wellness Gift Card sales on SpaWeek.com to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to bring warm food, blankets, and amenities to those who suffered devastation to their homes, businesses, schools and communities that could take months or even years to repair.

There’s never been a better reason to start your holiday shopping a bit early.  As you stock up on stocking stuffers, you’ll be helping those who need it more than ever. Thank you for helping us lend a hand to our neighbors during this tough time!

The Heat Is On: Yankees vs. Orioles

The heat is on between the Yankees and Orioles as they face off in game 5 tonight! Who will win a spot in the championship?!

After winning in the 13th inning last night, the Orioles proved they are a strong contender. But the Yankees are no strangers to high-pressure games.

Although many are surprised by the Orioles’ unlikely rise to the top, the two teams could not be a better match. They have split the 22 games they’ve played against each other this year, and have been off by only a point or less in the 9th inning of each of the series games.

It will be interesting to see who emerges victorious after tonight’s battle, but regardless of which team you’re rooting for, both hometowns have some serious spa services to offer. So win or lose, whether you’re in Birdland or Yankee Nation, at least you still have something to look forward to after the game’s outcome:
