1. Spas for Kids, Tweens, and Teens
=====================================
The hottest new spa trend are spa experiences for Generation Y -those age 5 to 20. And the 'Kid Capital of the World' in OrlandoFlorida is the place to be to jump on the offerings.
The Ritz Carlton Spa, Orlando Grand Lakes has a menu of servicesfor kids and teens called 'Adventures and Treatments'. This menuincludes:
--The Ritz Kids Cleansing Facial--The Ritz Teen Facial--A Facial Fit for a Princess--The Ritz Kids Massage--Fizzing Manicure--Fizzing Pedicure
Nickelodeon has a Kids Spa and offers the 'My First' series:
--My First Manicure--My First Pedicure--My First Facial--My First Massage
Another spa on top of the future market of the youth is PinehurstResort in Pinehurst North Carolina. Their kid friendly servicesinclude:
--A 20 minute back and shoulder massage--The Twinkle Toes Pedicure--The Fancy Fingers Manicure
These aren't for girls only. Boys can do a Teen Tune-Up in afitness training session with introductions to lifting weights,cardiovascular care, and other basic workouts. Parents mustaccompany their children (when under 16) in treatment rooms.
Home parties and day spa events are ways for the young ones toaccess the spa experience without traveling to destination spas.Having a 'Princess Party' for young girls (as young as 5 yearsold) that include up-dos, glitter, and jewels can groom them forfancier and more expensive services in the future.
Is this too much too soon? Some worry that this is puttingtoo much early emphasize on looks rather than performance.So balance it out with a rock climbing experience. Buildingstrength and beauty together are healthy lessons.
Many spa owners and operators don't see this as an opportunity torecruit a new spa client as much as a educational opportunity tomake a difference in a young life. Acne in teens can be treatedwith specific skin products and alot of education on the care ofthe skin. Relaxation services that help redue anxiety can bereflected in the skin.
Another educational focus is the dangers of sun exposure on youngskin. Children receive between 50% and 80% of their lifetime sunexposure before the age of 18 according to http://kidshealth.org.
Some ideas for spa fun at home include avocado masks on the face,oatmeal baths, make-up experimentation, dress-up, tea parties,and temporaty tattoo fun too!

2. Are You A NutraSweet Junkie?

Sorry about the bad news, guys.

It can also affect other systems in the body-mind. Itis suspected as a causative factor in seizures, migraines,Parkinson's disease, and MS.
Here are some symptoms attributed to Aspartame that weresubmitted to the FDA from Health and Human Services:
