2006 Spa Reviews by Julie Register

The following are reviews of some of the spas Julie Register visited in 2006

Julie Register spends the week before Christmas with her husband at Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico. Instead of eating holiday cookies, they enjoyed delicious, satisfying and healthy (mostly) vegetarian meals. Instead of rushing around doing holiday shopping, they hiked and attended fitness classes, participated in a traditional Mexican Posada, visited an organic garden, learned how to distill essential oils, and much more.

Julie Register has a conversation with Deborah Szekely, founder of Rancho La Puerta, about her philanthropic accomplishments, Rancho La Puerta, the new cooking school, the environment, processed foods, psychological calories, life priorities and more.

Julie Register experiences Spa Ja, a unique Brazilian spa with an Asian flavor in New York City - a facial with crushed pearls, a microcurent collagen treatment, a Chinese manual facelift, reflexology and more; an exfoliating and detoxifying body treatment in an Oceana Spa capsule with a lymphatic drainage face and scalp massage; and a great combination deep tissue, aromatherapy, and hot stone massage.

Julie Register stays at the Wedgewood Hotel and Spa in Vancouver. "I was ready for The Ultimate Cinnamon Enzyme Facial. I had been looking forward to this for weeks. I've had facial treatments with just about every kind of foodstuff imaginable - mango, papaya, avocado, cucumber, yogurt - but never cinnamon. Actually, this is the first spa I've seen with a cinnamon treatment. You may have guessed by now...I love cinnamon! However, just because I like something doesn't mean it's good for my skin..."
