The Holiday Spirit is upon us! |
At this extraordinary time of the year, allow me to thank all of you, our loyal readers. This past year, it's been my pleasure to communicate my thoughts about our spa community. I hope in some small way, that I have been able to inform and/or interest you with spa leader accomplishments, vendor features, events and overall industry happenings. My involvement in our spa family has been my passion for many years and your kind comments and feedback has been an inspiration for me.
Here in Florida, for our spas, things are getting "pretty" hectic as we jump into full gear. We are now in full blown "Season" with snowbirds back in town and visitors that leave the cold and journey to the promise of our prominent beaches, glorious weather and holiday "joie de vivre". It’s our busy and most festive time of year as our spas leaders creatively prepare enjoyable spa services for their guests, welcoming them to spend their holidays enjoying their family and friends while they experience wellness, spiritual healing and relaxation. The many splendors offered at their properties!!
The holidays are also a reminder about humanity and kindness. This is the perfect time to extend the great spirit of giving beyond our homes and give together as families |

Get ready for our Love, Spa, Wine 2019 Event. Yes, we are returning to the Quantum Leap Winery in Orlando on January 22nd, by popular demand, being this venue and event was such a big hit last year! We are also excited to announce that we will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary as the FSA. This event is super cool being situated in the midst of a winery warehouse among steel and oak barrels of wine, which is where we will hold an innovative and exciting vendor exhibit. Enjoy a gourmet lunch, a power-packed educational " Think Tank" and lots of giveaways. We'll end the day with an marvelous selection of wine tastings and enjoy mouth-watering hors d'oeuvre that compliment your choice of wine.
This venue couldn't have been more unique and fun for our Florida attendees last year, so here we go again! We anticipate this year to be even better. Be sure not to miss our Love, Spa, and Wine 2019 Event!
