Day Tripping

Most of the day spas I've frequented have been in New York and Boston. These were typically more than a quickie nail-fix/threaded eyebrow studio. Some were on par with resort hotels and others had menus that ran like Smith & Wollensky's. Another one convinced me never to have a wrap again. Yup, it was that relaxing.

But Portland. Now we're talking day spas. This city is almost too-precious (but it's not) and at times can strike you as being even ergonomically correct. Therefore, it is my conclusion that the day spas must follow suit. Democratic and accessible, these are spas of high concept and low-tech, all within a 10-mile radius of downtown.

This week I shall explore a few and report about them on About.com/Spas in addition to my modest little diary here. So get ready you people, you. I'm getting back into the game.

Just stop killing all the bees.
