Spa treatments are a luxury that not all travelers are keen on experiencing, especially when visiting a new destination. The usual itinerary will comprise of tours, some shopping and food adventures. A few hours in a destination spa, however, is not merely a means of relieving the body from stress, fatigue and tension. It is also a means of exploring and discovering other cultures reflected through traditional therapy, use of local ingredients and unique settings for relaxation. Of course, it always helps to nourish mind, body and soul whether it is upon landing or just before taking off to return to reality. Whichever the case, these destination spas are worth adding to the bucket list of a quintessential spa-holic.

Update: In case you thought your skin care routine was crowded enough, it looks like there's a new kind of to-do making the rounds online: face shaving. In the video, which has logged more than 400,000 views since Insider Beauty posted it to Facebook, you can see a handful of women yielding a razor pre-makeup application.

Harvard Business Review
A professor at Harvard Business School Francesca Gino writes: "Think back to your first day on the job. If you're like most people, you felt excited and were eager to get down to work. But, based on the results of field research I recently conducted, I am willing to guess that just a few months later that excitement dissipated and you began to feel dissatisfaction, even boredom, with some aspects of your job. You've probably witnessed a similar trend among the employees you've hired and managed as well."

 For many of us, stress and a rigid routine are a part of our daily rhythm, and there's no escape. For author and speaker Jason Kotecki, a whole other way to live exists — and he's on a mission to remind people of the alternatives. Kotecki recently addressed a packed room at the Gaylord Texan for the Commission for Case Manager Certification's New World Symposium.

 It's been six months since Instagram launched its newest feature: Instagram Stories. As a refresher, this was Instagram's response to Snapchat's success. You can find Instagram Stories at the top of your feed. There, you click to reveal 10-second videos or pictures that disappear in 24 hours. You can even add text, doodles or stickers atop them. In short, yes, it functions almost exactly like Snapchat. So how does Instagram Stories compare to Snapchat in number of users?

What if your true learning potential was unknown, even unknowable, at best?
What if it were impossible to foresee what you could accomplish with a few years of passion, toil, and training?
