And… ACTION!

Did you know that today at 2:30 PM, President Obama is answering questions live on YouTube? Yes, thanks to Google and our transparent government (or something like that) you can pose your query here and hope that enough people vote on your question to catch Mr. President’s attention.

However, there are some things you just can’t ask the president. For example: how much to tip for a facial, what age to start your anti-aging routine, or what to do if you get aroused during a massage. That’s where I come in.

I’ve recently launched Ask Michelle Joni in an effort to address all your deepest darkest spa questions, so now is the time to ASK AWAY. You can email me at michelle(at)spaweekmedia(dot)com, tweet me at @SPAWEEK or @michellejoni, write it on our Facebook wall, comment below, send it in a package with a lifetime supply of popchips… whatever!

Our partner ISPA is also looking for some good questions from Spa Week Daily readers for their Ask A Spa Expert column in their annual issue of LiveSpa, which comes out in the Spring. If you don’t see your question answered here, you may see your name in lights in the most internationally significant consumer spa publication. Or, we’ll keep you anonymous if you’d prefer.

Really looking forward to hearing from you!

Every single one of us could use a trip to the spa. That’s why we’re here. But when push comes to shove… there are some folks who could use a day at the spa a little more than others. We reached back into some of our funniest archives to illustrate just the type of folks we’re talking about. A little extra luck comes with that much needed spa day, as our Holiday gift card sale doesn’t end until the year does. Get a $100 Spa Week Gift Card for just $79.99 or get 20% off any denomination. These gift cards are accepted at over 2000 spas around the country and can be used for any service, 52 weeks a year, and never expire.

We’d like to thank these adorable kittens for helping spread the healthy spa lifestyle to the world. Massages for ALL!

And they’re not just touching one another… they’re touching hearts. Here’s the story behind the kitties, courtesy of their YouTube page:

Foster kittens Chloe and Bugsy from the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA). To see them here, it is hard to believe how timid, wild and fearful they were when they were first rescued. So affectionate and loving. They’ve been adopted now but to view other kittens and cats on VOKRA’s website or to donate, visit: http://www.orphankittenrescue.com/
*happy ending for the orphans: see MsBTigress on youtube to see Chloe (now Clea) and Bugsy (now Oreo) all grown up in their forever home!

…he’s going to ask for a facial.

This is how you give your opossum a proper pedicure. You can only go uphill from here.

You probably don’t have an opossum to pamper, but have you ever given a pedi to a pet? Fess up!
