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…

And you’ll be singin…

Happy, healthy New Year to you! Let’s take a look back: In 2010, over 150 million Americans visited the spa (according to ISPA). We are still waiting on the exact numbers for 2011, but with the growth of the industry reported in ISPA’s 2011 report, we’re pretty sure a lot more of you experienced the wonderful healing powers of the spa this past year. How many times did you visit the spa in 2011? An even better question: how often do you plan to take some time out for yourself and visit the spa in 2012? We’re hoping you resolve to make regular spa trips a integral part of your health and wellness regime in 2012! Or, at least twice a year…

In support of your 2012 wellness goals, Spa Week is here (and has been since 2004) to help you keep your healthy spa-going resolution with our bi-annual national events, when thousands of spas across North America offer their most coveted health and wellness treatments for just $50 each. And – for the first time ever – Spa Week’s directory of participating spas and their $50 treatment offerings will launch not 4, but 5 weeks in advance of the week-long event so EVERYONE will have enough time to choose and book the treatment(s) of their choice, and ample time to get ready and excited.

Mark your calendars! The 2012 event dates are as follows:

SPRING 2012 SPA WEEK®: April 16 – 22

The directory of participating spas and treatments will launch on March 12, 2012 at spaweek.com, when you can start to book your appointments directly with the spa.

FALL 2012 SPA WEEK®: October 15 – 21

The directory of participating spas and treatments will launch on October 10, 2012.

Make sure you’re subscribed to the Spa Week newsletter and stay tuned to Spa Week Daily too for all your Spa Week® news and updates. See you at the spa!

Otherwise… make it a spa day!

PHEW.

The New York Fashion Week craziness has finally simmered. We’ll miss the circus of course, but for all the designers, models, editors, reporters, bloggers, photographers, publicists, event planners, socialites, stylists, seamstresses, security teams, shmoozers and show-crashers… it’s been one HECK of a week.

It’s times like these when we realize: This is exactly why have spa deals all year long — and not just during the Spa Week® Event ($50 treatments April 12-18… you ARE counting down, right?) After combing through Spa Week’s February spa deals (click that for the full list), Spa Week Daily edited it down to this straightforward NY Guide to the Best Post-Fashion Week Spa Detoxes and Deals.

Even if you’ve just been enjoying the excitement from the comfort of your own home – browsing through all those looks on Style.com can get tiring! Treat yourself, little New York fashionista. (Even though Robert Verdi doesn’t!) To book, just call up and mention Spa Week to get your discount.
