A Note from Ilana
 

July kicks off Miami Spa Month - A power push toward Wellness!

Personally I love July, and not because it's my birthday month, although I might be a bit biased, but mostly because Miami welcomes Spa Month starting in July every year, which lasts through August. Spa Month marks the summer as even hotter in Miami and I don't just signify the temperature. Basically I refer to the many wonderful spa offerings and opportunities that are made available to the public from over 40 participating spas in the Miami and South Florida surrounding areas. Florida, well-known for its lavish spas that rank among the "Best Spas in America" and favored by many spa enthusiasts from all over the world, participate in Spa Month to promote wellness at their spas during the summer months of July and August. Miami, which is known for its luxury, provides exceptional spa packages that offer reasonably priced treatments to its locals and guests by making it possible for many, especially those on a budget, to take time out to indulge in the topmost standard of pampering and relaxation by visiting these spas. WELLNESS which is our credo and the heart and soul of our industry, opens itself up to encourage relaxation and self-care during Spa Month. Offers of great spa specials and wellness experiences, make spa visits at this time of the year very inviting and essential.

Vendor Spotlight
Babor
 
In the 1950’s German biochemist, Dr. Michael Babor laid the foundation for the BABOR brand with his groundbreaking research into the use of natural plant actives and their stunning effects on the skin. His first innovation, a natural oil-based cleanser called HY-ÖL was introduced at a time when women were cleansing with cold cream and a bar of soap. Dr. Babor’s cleansing system was so revolutionary that it was patented, so effective it was prescribed by doctors and so well loved that it continues to be a bestseller and customer favorite six decades later.

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed can sabotage your *entire day* of productivity

 

Mornings can be tricky. Sometimes you jump out of bed feeling energized and ready to dance your way through your to-do list, and other days you hit the snooze button too many times and cower under the weight of your busy schedule.
