New Spa Policy -
Babies Welcome...
It used to be that spas
shunned children,
believing that
relaxation and the sound
of a squalling infant in
the cabana next door
were pretty much
mutually exclusive. But
these days, a handful of
spas are going to
great lengths to
become baby- and
new-mother friendly,
adding amenities like
expensive strollers and
organic baby shampoos,
as well as services
ranging from postnatal
massages to child care.
Most spa managers think
the trend has to do with
the rising ages of new
parents. The National
Center for Health
Statistics, a part of
the Centers for Disease
Control and
Prevention, said that
the number of births to
women in their early 40s
nearly doubled between
1990 and 2002, jumping
from 48,607 to 95,788.
Older parents tend to be
further along in their
careers, which means
they have more money to
spend on luxury
retreats, and tend to
look at vacations as a
time to bond with their
infants.

Eat Right To
Keep Healthy Skin
Clinical
nutritionist says
all the skin-care
and beauty products
in the world won't
keep your skin
looking good if
you're not eating
the right foods.
New York, NY -- Lots
of people spend
hundreds of dollars
on all the "latest,
greatest" skin-care
products. You may
even have been
tempted to pick up a
product that
promises to keep
your skin looking
vibrant and young,
wiping away wrinkles
overnight. But,
says Health magazine
contributor and
clinical
nutritionist
Samantha Heller, all
the skin-care and
beauty products in
the world won't keep
your skin looking
good if you're not
eating the right
foods. Clinical
studies have found
that eating a diet
rich in fruits,
vegetables, whole
grains, legumes and
omega-3 fatty acids
can help skin retain
its healthy glow and
look youthful.
