Toccare SPAmpering Experience + Blog Giveaway

After a stressful day at work, or an exhausting shopping trip, there's no better way to relieve stress, relax and renew than going to a day spa, and that's what they're really here for...

Having a relaxing spa treatment isn't just for pampering oneself but it also translates to a lot of health benefits.  In one study of more than 3,300 Japanese government workers, frequency of spa use was linked to better physical and mental health, including better quality sleep and fewer sick days. In a similar study on German data conducted by researchers from Florida State University and George Mason University, spa therapy reduced both absenteeism from work and hospitalizations.

As a result, swelling and soreness in your muscles are reduced and the removal of bacteria strengthens your ability to fight off disease. (Read more: livestrong.com)
