What Mom Really Wants: Mother’s Day Spa Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is nearly here so there’s no better time to get your gift idea in order! Last year’s State of Moms 2014 Survey found that 87 percent of moms feel they suffer more stress today than their own mothers did a generation ago and given these high stress levels, 9 in 10 report mothers say that they would rather receive an “experience” than a “thing” this Mother’s Day – with a trip to a spa ranking in the top spot! Give mom what she really wants and needs and get her a Spafinder Wellness 365 Gift Card, one gift card with endless options for a spa or wellness experience perfect for a unique and thoughtful gift for mom!

Facial

Radiant skin plus relaxation? Mom will love using her Spafinder Wellness 365 Gift Card on a facial. Best part? She can pick the type of facial that she wants at the location she wants, so there’s zero guess work for you! The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, is offering a Whirlpower Firming Milk and Magnolia Facial (50-minutes; $120 M-F) to help de-stress even the most busy moms! Using a whipped Shea butter and sugar blend, mom’s skin will be exfoliated gently. Following this exfoliation, she’ll enjoy a raw honey and active yogurt mask to cleanse pores and create a firm appearance. Next up is a Three Milk Ageless Moisturizer which will reduce wrinkles and a steaming antioxidant compress ends the facial on a dewy note!

10 BEST SPA TREATMENTS FOR MOTHER’S DAY

By: Alison Lewis

Mother’s Day is around the corner so treat her to relaxation and rejuvenation at some of my favorite spas from Naples, Florida to Bali, Indonesia. Here are 10 best spa treatments for Mother’s day:

8. Grand Geneva Resort & Spa | Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
A perfect treat, the Whirlpower Firming Milk and Magnolia Facial will destress and soothe even the busiest of moms! Skin is prepped with a whipped Shea butter and sugar facial and micro polish to cleanse and exfoliate to perfection. Next a raw honey and active yogurt mask deeply cleanses pores, helping to pull out toxins, and creates a firm, pore-less appearance. Next, skin is basked in Three Milk Ageless Moisturizer, a rich, creamy botanical milk with firming peptides that instantly work to spur on healthy collagen and reduce deep wrinkles. Finally, a steaming antioxidant compress with Honey Magnolia sparkling soak, rich in grape seed and olive fruit oils, brings a gloriously dewy grand finale finish.
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is the ideal weekend escape for a weekend in the country. Located just 50-minutes outside of Milwaukee and 90-minutes from Chicago, the award winning AAA Four-Diamond Grand Geneva Resort property spans 1300 acres in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Boasting a variety of on-property restaurants, two championship golf courses, and many fun outdoor activities, the property truly comes alive in the spring.

Food ?For All Faiths

By: Rachel Carter

Kosher, halal, vegetarian, vegan, no alcohol, no coffee, no tea: Every religion seems to have its own doctrine about diet. Some follow loose guidelines under a general “your body is a temple” philosophy, and others have detailed dietary laws based on wide-ranging scriptures and centuries of study. Even within the same religion, there can be several different practices of dietary law.
All that makes planning food and beverage for religious meetings and events a challenge. The key to successfully navigating the ins and outs of meal planning for religious groups is to understand the faith, learn the culture and be flexible.
