So you packed your summer out, and just realized that Labor Day came out of nowhere!  Don’t worry – you can still get one more weekend of relaxation in.

Miss Cozy’s Tip of the Day: Labor Day was actually intended as a day of rest, so before you head to the beach or a BBQ, try to sleep in this weekend.  Recent studies have shown that catching up on your sleep can help reverse the effects of sleep deprivation. Getting enough sleep also helps you look more refreshed by reducing dark circles, under-eye puffiness, and bloodshot eyes.

I made my first trip to Boston in February, and it was everything I thought it would be. Cold, beautiful, and full of wicked smart people and sexy Good Will Hunting-like accents. From Boston Common to Newbury Street, I fell in love with the city and thought “I could really live here.”

If you’re already one of the lucky ones who calls this MA gem home or lives in the surrounding area, consider yourself even luckier because you have a whopping 44 spas (no joke) to chose from for Spa Week! Here are some highlights:

All of the treatments that 1 on 1 Self Indulgence in Concord, MA is offering for Spa Week are eco-friendly! Maybe you can try the 50 Min Organic Citrus Oil or Lemongrass Massage.

Adara Spa right in Boston is offering 3 packages at $50 each that are all 120 minutes or more! Their hair package is over 2 hours and includes a haircut, deep conditioning treatment, scalp massage, and styling. Can’t beat that!

Or maybe you could go to Balance Spa in Tewksbury, MA for the 50 Min Lavender Hot Stone Massage. Sounds like a stress-buster to me!

It’s about that time when most of us in the working world (and stay-at-home parents, I assume) wish we had a Spring Break. If you are one of the lucky few in this mess of an economy that gets to use some vacation days in April, why not travel during Spa Week?
