If time is money, get your money’s worth!

This coming Monday begins Spring Spa Week and we’ve been reminding you every day: Time is running out to book your $50 spa treatments! Our spas are offering some of the best massages, facials, body wraps, beauty fixes and holistic treatments we’ve ever seen; if you haven’t booked yours yet, what do we need to do to convince you!? Persuade you with a 90 minute treatment… or something longer? That’s precisely why this blog post is here.

NINETY minutes. One and a half hours of bliss. Longer? 105 minutes, you say? Two hours? The worst part of the treatment is always the end, so why not make it last as long as possible? Take only a few minutes of your time NOW to check out which of our VERY generous spas are offering these extensive bliss sessions. Go ahead and clear your schedule, because you need to pencil Sharpie in an extended stay at the spa.

Warning: the longer you stay, the harder it is to leave (so maybe book more than one).

Instead of one treatment, book NINE! And hopefully your Spa Week will look a bit like this:

With Valentine’s Day next week, the world’s on a chocolate high and spas are right there with it. In case you missed it yesterday, Stephanie blogged all the benefits of chocolate in her chocolaty spa-dventure. In the name of glowing skin, she slathered her face in a (decidedly man-repelling) mask of cocoa powder, sour cream, honey and oatmeal – and it worked! Chocolate is packed with antioxidants and promotes cell growth, tissue repair and absorption of nutrients – the perfect combination of properties to nurture your skin and body.

We’ve got chocolate spa deals across North America this February, and we’ve paired each one with a recommendation on where to get your edible chocolate fix nearby. Eat your hearts out, sweetie pies!

It’s the first weekend of 2012! Last weekend you made your mighty resolution, and if you haven’t broken it yet, I think you should reward yourself. With a spa treatment. That lasts for a really, really, really long time.

This January as I browsed through our monthly Spa Deals, I noticed the number “90″ popping up with much frequency. Let me tell you – an hour of pampering is great, but an hour and a half feels like everlasting love.

So enjoy your dose of Friday cheese à la the above, and check out these 90 minute STUNNAS in SoCal, New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts, North Carolina and New Jersey. Go book yourself an everlasting spa treatment to kick off what could be your most awesome year yet! Find more deals all over the country where these came from…
