			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="couples-massage" src="http://www.spa-topia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/couples-massage.jpg" alt="day spa" width="288" height="240" />Many so called new day spa treatments have been around for thousands of years. However, what is new is the combination of information and treatment modalities, the terms used to describe them and the idea of carrying out these techniques in a clinic or salon type environment on a partial or full day basis.</p>
<p><span id="more-343"></span></p>
<p>The new <strong>day spa</strong> treatments are much more than just an hours Swedish massage with much more consideration being given to the health of your skin and your ongoing care. In today&#8217;s world, manicurists and hairdressers are likely to be asked for spa manicures and scalp treatments, as this is the age of total body care.</p>
<p>If you are looking for more information on the new day spa treatments then I recommend the following books:</p>
<p>?<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1562532618?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=spatopia-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1562532618">SalonOvations&#8217; Day Spa Techniques</a> By Erica T. Miller</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0595398677?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=spatopia-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0595398677">Suz&#8217;s Spies The Guide to Day Spas New York City</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=spatopia-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0595398677" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> By Suzanne Burchill</p>
<p>Also any books in the Frommer&#8217;s range will be very informative about the area you chose, as well as day spas and new day spa treatments:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/frommers-oregon">Frommer&#8217;s Oregon</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=spatopia-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=047016414X" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/frommers-south-florida">South Florida</a>, <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/frommers-american-southwest">American Southwest</a>, <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/frommers-nova-scotia">Frommer&#8217;s Nova Scotia,? </a>etc. There are many reasons that the new day spa treatments are becoming so popular in America, especially as we all are acutely aware how stressful life is becoming. The escalation in health costs, more media information, less and less time available for vacations, or just a basic interest in taking care of one&#8217;s health and preserving fitness and beauty. Whatever the underlying reason, the average American sees the new day spa experience as a way to happiness and health.</p>
<p>The new day spa can be split into day spa, salon day spa and full day spa and <a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3231318-10537210" target="_top">WaySpa.com</a> <img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3231318-10537210" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> is an excellent website and guide to everything spa related. It has search facilities to help you find promotional packages and a luxury new day spa in your city, or if you are planning a vacation, the best collection of spa resorts around the world.</p>
<p>A few new day spa&#8217;s that might be of interest depending on where you live or are planning to take a vacation include:</p>

<p>One new day spa that I really like the look of is situated in the <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3231318-10537500?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftravel.ian.com%2Findex.jsp%3FpageName%3DhotInfo%26cid%3D131241%26hotelID%3D239327&amp;cjsku=239327" target="_top">Hotel Palomar Dallas in Texas</a> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3231318-10537500" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. It is a luxury boutique hotel, which offers new day spa treatments to rejuvenate and relax with Pilates, yoga, orthopaedic stretching sessions, core conditioning and skin and body therapies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How often do you return from a vacation feeling more exhausted than before you went? However it doesn’t have to be like this. Taking a healthy <strong>spa vacation</strong> is an opportunity to escape from normal everyday life, it teaches healthy habits, gives you a new outlook and you return feeling refreshed and renewed. But it&#8217;s so hard to choose isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/spa-vacation.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-254" title="spa-vacation" src="http://www.spa-topia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/spa-vacation-300x199.jpg" alt="spa vacation in thailand" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-239"></span></p>
<p>Just how do you choose your spa vacation from the hundreds upon hundreds of destination spas, resorts and hotels offering spa services? Well luckily, it is not as difficult as it seems, and the first place to start is with yourself by deciding why you are interested in taking a spa vacation, and what services and programs you are interested in.</p>
<p>Perhaps you want your spa vacation to address a specific health issue, gauge your general health, teach you how to eat healthily, renew your pledge to a healthy lifestyle or maybe you want to get in shape, have fun or just relax.</p>
<p>Yoga and meditation retreats are another way for a traveler to unwind, and one you may be interested in is the <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/spa-resorts/canyon-ranch-resort" target="_top">Canyon Ranch Health Resorts Tuscon</a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3231318-10565183" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> or the Pura Vida Retreat and Spa in Costa Rica.  You can find out more about this by visiting <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.expedia.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.spa-topia.com/deals/expedia-deals" target="_blank">Expedia&#8217;s website for great deals on vacations</a><img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-3231318-10527169" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> or you can search to see what is available on websites such as <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.spiritvacations.com/index.asp?Referrer=SV015&amp;cmpid=AFC-CJA';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.spa-topia.com/search/spirit-vacations" target="_blank">SpiritVacations</a><br />
or<img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-3231318-10461067" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> by simply typing in Google,&#8221;<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=yoga+spa+vacation&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=" target="_blank"> yoga spa vacation</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know a great deal about what&#8217;s on offer, then start by reading a couple of books, or see what your local library has in its travel section. Recommended reading includes:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/healing-vacations-in-hawaii">Healing Vacations in Hawaii: A Travel Guide to Retreats, Alternative Healers and Spas</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=spatopia-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0974267279" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Organizing and planning are essential for any vacation to be a success, because after all, they are expensive special events. So after all the hard work you will put in to make your vacation the very best that it can be, don&#8217;t you deserve to add some &#8220;me&#8221; time into the planning. You can do this by choosing from the best <strong>hotel spas</strong> in <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.travelocity.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.spa-topia.com/destinations/disney-world" target="_blank">Walt Disney World</a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3231318-10397372" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, to ensure pampering and total relaxation. Here are some tips to help you with your task.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/disney.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-177 aligncenter" title="disney" src="http://www.spa-topia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/disney-300x225.jpg" alt="hotel spas" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-149"></span></p>
<p>Firstly you have check out hotel spas in the same way you will check out every else, such as the theme park, attractions, Water Parks, nightspots, entertainment offerings, restaurants and shops.</p>
<p>If you are not sure how to do this then start with a <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.priceline.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3231318-10402864" target="_blank">good travel website</a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3231318-10402864" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> or <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.travelocity.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3231318-10397373" target="_blank">specialist </a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3231318-10397373" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />like <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.wayspa.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.spa-topia.com/search/way-spa" target="_blank">Way Spa</a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3231318-10537210" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> where you will find information about all aspects of this type of holiday, and I find its so much easier to take your time and book online.  This is much preferable to waiting in a queue, having someone waiting behind you who is impatient, or a travel agent waiting to go for her lunch.</p>
<p>Alternatively, though I should say as well, you can buy a copy of <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/guide-to-walt-disney-world" target="_blank">Frommer&#8217;s Irreverent Guide To Walt Disney World and Orlando</a>, which gives you tips for planning your trip, where to get discounted tickets, advice if you are thinking of getting married in Disney World, fashion Florida style and a great deal more, plus there is a whole chapter on pamper places, hotel spas and the like.</p>
<p>Remember as you are searching for information relating to hotel spas that the children will be getting excited, so why not download <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/search/mouse-explorer">Mouse Explorer</a> to your PC. This is an interactive digital guide to Disney World that you can try for free before purchasing. It contains four interactive maps of Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and MGM Studios, and will keep your kids entertained for hours, whilst you look for the best hotel spas.</p>
<p>Some hotel spas offer money saving day passes, which are usually inexpensive costing between $10 – 15 and allow you to use the pool, spa&#8217;s fitness centre, showers and steam room for the whole day. However Disney spas only offer passes to Disney resort guests, but you will find that there is many other hotel spas will accommodate anyone.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.spa-topia.com/books/unofficial-guide-to-walt-disney-world" target="_blank">The Unofficial Guide To Walt Disney World 2008</a>, the top three hotel spas in the Orlando area are:</p>
<p>1. <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.hotel.info';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3231318-10565183?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotel.info%2Fbooking.aspx%3FHotelAgentllc%3D2325148%26subagentcodellc%3D%25zp%26h_hmid%3D168091&amp;cjsku=168091" target="_blank">The Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes</a><br />
