As much as I love face-masking on a Monday, treating myself to a mani/pedi every Thursday, and turning my shower into a sauna every Sunday, I'd take treating myself to a spa service over self-pampering any day. Trust me, your girl gives herself the star treatment whenever she can, but there's just something about the ambiance of a spa, and having someone else worry about painting your nails evenly for a change, that's just so satisfying. I generally stick to treatments I've already tried and loved, but there are some weird spa treatments around the world that just might be tempting enough to experience, even if that means traveling halfway around the world for the occasion.

The pressure of living up to society's expectations of beauty is real and a widespread epidemic. It doesn't matter if they are stay-at-home moms in their 40s or 20-something runway models — it's irrefutably apparent that every single woman, at some point, struggles with accepting her physical appearance, overcoming self-doubt and feeling comfortable in her own skin, due to the shallow and appearance-focused standards of beauty espoused by the media.

Most Angelenos are familiar with the stress-melting effect of lounging on warm sand. Now, they can build on that feeling with an unusual new massage treatment at Corona's historic Glen Ivy Hot Springs spa, best known for its mud and mineral baths.
The 158-year-old spa recently introduced Quartz Massage, or psammotherapy (derived from the Greek word for sand), which involves lying atop a trough-like table of heated crystals more coarse than beach sand. Glen Ivy is one of only three spas in Southern California (the others are in San Diego and Catalina Island) and a handful around the country that offer it, said Glen Ivy's massage treatment manager Charlene Andrews, making Quartz Massage a new experience for even the most jaded spa enthusiasts.

Helping Estheticians raise standards with national credentialing and continuing education accreditation.
"Being NCEA Certified has helped me maintain a level of excellence not only recognized by my clients, my peers and within my industry, but it has also allowed me to have a certification that a state regulatory board recognizes. Having moved from state to state for opportunities, the standardization of educational requirements provided within the NCEA Certification Program supports my mobility state-to-state and internationally as well. There is no other organization in the United States that is a coalition, an active group of skin care associations, schools, companies & individuals, that is united to establish standards and best practices for our industry by providing political representation for our profession to state legislators and licensing boards. NCEA is THE ORGANIZATION that allows me to distinguish myself as a leader in the industry."
