Stressed out? Step out of the stilettos and into these instead…

If you’ve been burning the midnight oil, perhaps it’s time to take a well-earned hiatus. You love luxury, but you don’t have to break the bank to pamper yourself.  Traveling to Hawaii, the Bahamas, or Mexico may be beyond your means, but you can still luxuriate in a sauna and relax into a hot-stone treatment or massage.

Stepping into some spa slippers may be easier than it seems. Search online for a day spa in your town offering special packages and discounts. Once you’re inside, the herbal scents and soothing sounds will erase any trace of the outdoor world and ease your cares away. If you still can’t splurge on this, make an at-home spa with bath salts, candles, music, give yourself a pedi… the works!
