I suppose I should no longer be fazed when I learn that children can send virtual pets off for a relaxing day at the spa, or when I see clients in spa waiting rooms texting friends and colleagues. Call me a fogey if you will, but I still feel the spa should be a quiet, soothing and relaxing place where a person can go to escape from the realities of the world, even if it’s just for 90 minutes. Sometimes we just plain need that.

Until Next Time,

Melinda Taschetta-Millane, Editor in Chief
