Why Those Expensive Spa Massages Are Worth Every Penny!By Nancy Nino

• Arrive an hour early--there are "amenities" to experience. Walk in and be greeted by the kind receptionist.• Get led back to the women's lounge to get

your locker, already stocked with a robe, towel, hangers and a secure space for your personal belongings. What's your size...you'll need your spa slippers!

• Head to the sauna and take that awesome book called Love is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends that you've been wanting to read for about a year. It can't be a coincidence that you're reading a book about taking care of people and "giving them the love" in business when you are in a space where you are feeling totally taken care of and are totally "feeling the love.”

• Go from sauna to steam room. Steam it up. Aaahhh! Call yourself crazy but it seems like you can actually feel your toxins pouring out of you.• Drink a bottle of Hawaiian Springs

water...come on, it's right there waiting for you and you've just lost a lot of water in your sauna and steam extravaganza.

• Take a shower in the one the receptionist recommended, the one with shower heads on all sides, and water raining from the ceiling as well.• Enjoy the smell of the shampoo,
