Spa News - September 2009

What does September mean to you? For many of us, this month is a little more chaotic as we settle into cooler weather and more regular routines.

If the carefree days of summer seem far behind, remember that a relaxing retreat at the spa is just a phone call away.

Interestingly, it seems that many of us are now scheduling shorter spa treatments. Even if we don't always have a surplus of free time or money, it seems like a mindful practice to maintain our me time.

This month, AquaTerre makes it easy to escape to the spa with our heavenly Harvest Treatment Collection. Find out more today!

Warmly Yours,

Trend Watch: Shorter Spa Treatments

It's all about compromise this year. When economic times are tough, who wants to give up their spa treatments? After all, a sojourn at the spa keeps us feeling energized and positive.

According to the International Spa Association, shorter spa treatments, particularly those lasting 30 minutes or less, are gaining in popularity this year.

The International Spa Association also reported that clients are spending less per visit when compared with figures from 2008.
