Hot Stones and the Moon People - We arrive at the Salish Lodge & Spa, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, just in time for afternoon tea in the Asahel Curtis Library. With its oak plank floor, overstuffed leather loveseats, games tables, and heap of logs next to the stone hearth, the library is a peaceful respite.

Love Is In The Air at Rancho Valencia Resort - This magnificent resort is imbued with LOVE from the second you step onto the property.

Elect The Senator Your Maine Therapy -
The hot spot in Augusta, the capital of Maine, is the 124-room Best Western Senator Inn and Spa, the perfect resort for a weekend away. From the very start of my stay there, every detail was geared to my comfort and enjoyment and not a thing was overlooked.
Where Heaven Meets Earth - I visited Miraval because I heard it was a spa experience unlike any other. It not only had awesome spa treatments but each activity taught their guests how to achieve a life in balance. With two teenage children, a husband, and a high powered executive position, I desperately needed to find ways to unstress and bring my chaotic life back into some semblance of balance and order.
