I don't know about you but when I actually do get around to taking a spa day (it's not as often as you might think!), I squeeze every ounce of relaxation into the experience as I can. In other words, I use my spa time wisely. If you're like me, the Village Health Clubs spas at Gainey , DC Ranch and Cameback are a wise choice when maximizing your time and spa bucks. The beauty of the Village club spas is that with any treatment or salon service, you get to experience life as a member and can... Read Full Story

We're having a hard time accepting the fact that summer is almost here. It's not so much the 100-degree-plus temps or the endless sunny days. It's the fact that our heels are as scratchy as sandpaper, we're pale as ghosts and we haven't had a decent facial in ages. So in honor of tank tops, flip-flops, bikinis and the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, we went in search of deals that would prepare us all for the hot days ahead. The following get-ready-for-summer specials are ALL just $49 and are... Read Full Story
Listen to any travel news clip or pick up a current lifestyle mag and clearly, the winning buzzword of the 2008 summer vacation season is "staycation" -- a term that means vacationing at a destination in your own backyard. Not a new concept to Arizonians. We've been doing it for decades. In fact, a local celebrity chef recently told me and a press group how he stakes out a pool-side room at the Arizona Biltmore Resort nearly every summer weekend so his kids can splash around until they crash...

Short jean skirts, giant designer sunglasses, flip-flops and shiny lips that come from a minty green tube. If you see a girl who looks like she's around 20 and is sporting any of these accessories, it would probably be safe to say she is an ASU student. With long treks across campus in the hot Arizona sun, it's hard to look cool when you're getting ready in a hurry and running on three hours of sleep. That's why you cannot sit through an entire class without seeing at least one girl pull out... Read Full Story
So remember that lavish Sedona weekend of yoga and spa treatments galore we told you about a few weeks ago in our eblast (If you don't get our eblast, sign up here . You might actually win something!)? Well, we just got word that the retreat was so darn popular that the luxury version of it sold out. So the ever-kind and forward-thinking folks of At One Yoga came up with another option. For just $175, you can still take part in the Journey Through Consciousness yoga retreat! The catch is...
