What would you recommend
for...
Many of the questions I get via
e-mail start with these five words. Some people want to know which
spas I recommend for hiking or yoga. Others want to know about the
best spa for going solo, for men, for affordability (another very
popular one), and so on. I thought I would answer a few hundred of
these questions all at once by introducing you to the brand new 2008 Readers' Choice Awards
list!
Have fun perusing this list of readers' favorites, which was just
announced this week. The list will stay up all year on
SpaFinder.com, so bookmark this page, so you can refer to it
again and again!
For your health,

Spa-nundrums
by Milana Knowles
Masseuse vs. Massage
Therapist
In conversations, I often hear people-both spa enthusiasts and
not-refer to massage therapists as masseuses or masseurs. That's a
big no-no, and I'll tell you why!
The words masseuse and masseur can have unseemly
connotations, referring to low-end service providers that may be a
bit, well, seedy. Massage therapists, on the other hand, are
licensed massage providers of the sort who work at reputable spas,
and they appreciate it when you use the correct term!

QUICK VOTE
Did you know the terms
masseuse and masseur
can have less-than-wholesome meanings?

Pound Wise: Fat Chance
By Susan Crandall
Two new books by noted science authors
contend that most of us are genetically fated to be overweight, but
it's not that simple. |
|
"There's a pair of new books that take a radical view of being
overweight. It's not your fault, they claim; you're a prisoner of
your genes. The outlook - biology is all - is diametrically opposed
to the prevailing behaviorist theory of weight. . . ." Read the
