Spa Week: Indulge for Both Charity and Softer Skin.


Seems like every day has been claimed as dedicated to a specific cause; National Breat Cancer Awareness Month (October) I'm down with, National Frozen Food Month (March) not so much.

April alone is celebrating National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, National Autism Awareness Month, National Facial Protection Month, Sports Eye Safety Month, Foot Health Awareness Month and I kid you not, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) Awareness Month amongst other dedicated causes.

Luckily, you can take a week off from thinking about how 'regular' you are for 30 days straight: Allure Magazine has come to the rescue by hosting the upcoming Spa Week--although, you can celebrate both IBS Month and Spa Week with a discounted Body Flow Detox Treatment at Beverly Hill's Vida Emanuel European Day Spa.

During the week-long pursuit of pampering that is Spa Week (running April 17-23), over 200 top-notch spas across the country--and 37 in L.A.--are offering their signature services at a major discount for only $50.

Top picks in L.A. include a 50 minute, custom cabana massage at Sunset Blvd.’s Argyle Spa, Jurlique’s hour-long, anti-aging Facial in Beverly Hills and the Valley’s Spa Loft offering delicious services such as Pumpkin & Mango Hot Rocks pedicure and Chocolate & Espresso Exfoliating Body Treatments.

The discounted treatments go towards supporting Cancer & Careers--a non-profit helping women with cancer--so for those on the fence about Botox can convince themselves to paralyse your face for wrinkle-free skin in the name of a noble cause!

Check out www.spaweek.org and book early to take advantage of the body bargains galore.
