March 9, 2005, New York, NY ~ The cries have been heard! We want Spa Week! And we here at C&R Media have quickly answered. Premiering in April 2005, Spa Week is launching national, bringing the infamous event that took New York City spa-goers by storm to Philadelphia, Connecticut, and to New Jersey. This year the eagerly anticipated event will again open up spa doors to spa enthusiasts. For a mere $50, indulge and spoil yourself with treatments at a fraction of the cost. Book a massage, book a facial, book a bikini wax, or book it all, any time from April 18th through April 24th.

Recently, the spa trend has transcended the generations with everyone from Mom to Grandma to Dad enjoying the wide variety of treatments today’s spa menus offer. The spa experience is no longer limited to girl-y French manicures and flowery perfumed treatment rooms. From body slimming cellulite-reducing wraps to laser hair removal to hardcore massages designed to knead out the toughest of athlete’s knots, there is a procedure for everyone and everything. This year’s Spa Week hopes to bring the “Spa Experience to the Multi Generations,” showing everyone from the teenager to the senior citizen the emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits of self-pampering. Spa Week is the perfect opportunity for everyone to introduce them selves to the world of spa, guilt-free!

But be warned and book fast, because if last year’s success is any clue, appointment spots sell out fast! In October, within forty-eight hours the initial 25 top day spas booked up solid. After adding on fifteen more spas, déjà vu and again 100% bookings. This year’s Spa Week promises to be bigger and better, with over 75 spas on board, more novelty treatments, and much much more pampering!

Nevertheless, here at C&R Media we always believe in giving back. Giving back to you – the spa enthusiast through these fab fifty-dollar treatments as well as giving back to those less fortunate than our selves. This year a portion of C&R Media’s proceeds will be donated to Cancer and Careers, a charity created by Cosmetic Executive Women. Cancer and Careers helps women in the beauty industry, as well as their employers, coworkers and caregivers deal with the effects of cancer and treatments through a community of patients and survivors, allowing women to continue their careers and lives throughout their treatment.

Upcoming: Stay tuned for Spa Week Los Angeles expected to launch in September 2005!
