Touch Yourself This Valentine’s Day

Not having a partner shouldn’t exclude you from getting your fair share of The Touch. Strong, able hands are available to soothe your aches and pains as well your heart. For that matter being strapped for cash shouldn’t be a deal breaker either ... I’m talking here about massage, but in this case it’s self-massage and ... I'm not the only one advocating it ... People tend to get all stressed out about what to do on Valentine’s Day, and non-partnered people tend to get a double dose of

Body Brushing, Aha, aha

Published Feb. 21, 2008 at 9:03 a.m.

I just had an Aha moment. Before the Aha moment, I decided to do a little research on body brushing because I keep hearing about it, that it’s supposed to be really great for everything from lymphatic draining to—and here comes the Aha moment—acne prevention ... So back up, Spadette ... Until six or so months ago my regular face-washing ablutions (I love that word) included the use of a face brush—I was a body brusher and didn't even realize it! It did take me awhile to grow accustomed

Is the Personal Massage Heading Into the Toilet?

massage, spa

Published Jan. 25, 2008 at 8:39 a.m.

Kind of looks like a giant commode, doesn’t it? ... Wipe that thought clean out of your head ... It’s called a Spa Capsule and it’s surely something the Jetsons would have owned had massage been popular in the early 60s. One of these babies can be in your home tomorrow, just pony up for what it would cost you to buy a new Honda Accord—about $30,000 ... It reminds me of that time, not so long ago, when people started realizing they didn’t have to go to the gym to use a motorized

I just read an interesting, if flawed, story in New York magazine. Still scratching my head on how I came to be a subscriber, but for the first time since it started showing up in my mailbox I didn’t feel that I was contributing to the demise of more trees and increasing carbon emissions when I flipped the magazine pretty much straight into the recycle bin ... The story is called The Economy of Touch and though it is one in which it appears the author was intend on her thesis and set out to

Happy Birthday to Me, Korean Style

massage, spa, treatment

Published Oct. 16, 2007 at 2:12 p.m.

My own birthday was on October 10. I spent it at the base of Mt. Pinatubo, a not-much-thought-about volcano until it erupted in the Philippines in 1991, after hundreds of years of slumber. I’d heard about hot springs occurring naturally after the eruption near the crater, and that a spa—called Spa Town—had opened, somewhat making the best of Pinatubo’s ghastly emission, which made the area a ghost town and displaced a local tribe called the Aita. (Though I’m not sure you can displace

The Heart of a Massage Therapist

massage, spa, wellness, yoga

Published Oct. 26, 2007 at 7:35 a.m.

A big debate is quietly raging on Anitra Brown's blog about.com/spa regarding necessary qualifications for being a good massage therapist. This one started because a spa bigwig was quoted in a Luxury Spa Finder saying something along these lines: “good therapists have to have the heart of a servant.” This seems to be the call to action among spa professionals these days—especially because it’s becoming harder to find and keep good therapists ... That fact kept coming up at the Wellness

The Unbearable Lightness of Spa-ing, Part II

Published Oct. 18, 2007 at 5:08 p.m.

No, I didn’t complain, and I got into a “thing” about it with a Dutch journalist, MC, who also attended the Summit and who I was spending a few days with. The day before we’d gone to a drop-dead fabulous spa called Tirta, which I’ll talk more about another time. She told me after the massage, having been given forms on which to grade our therapists, she had given hers the lowest rating. She said the therapist was awful because she pulled her hair. (This hair connection is totally
