‘Stay-cations” Are the New Trend

Vacations are all about relaxation and treating the family to extras, making Spa Sydell an ideal ‘stay-cation' destination...

Spa Sydell, Atlanta’s first full-service day spa, has been known for 26 years for its oh-so-relaxing deep tissue massages, heavenly hydrating signature facials and delicately detoxing body wraps, but Atlanta’s only ‘true spa, real spa’ is a secret haven for top-of-the-line skin products and fabulous gifts that might be the city’s best-kept ‘tourist trap’ secret.  With gas prices toppling past the four-dollar mark, many families are staying off the road and enjoying ‘stay-cations,’ many rediscovering enjoyable destinations in their own backyards.  Vacations are all about relaxation and treating the family to extras, making Spa Sydell an ideal ‘stay-cation destination.’   

August is a great time to pay a visit to Spa Sydell’s gift boutiques, available at all seven locations.  Each August, Spa Sydell invites Atlantans to come in out of the heat and take advantage of specials on products and services that will carry clients through the remainder of the year and into the winter months.  “If you’ve never tried our wonderful Flo products, you’ve been deprived,” says Karen Harris, Vice President and co-founder of Spa Sydell.  “Our signature Flo line includes body gels, scrubs, body lotions, massage creams, massage oils and bath salts in fragrances that will excite your senses and take you away.  The Aegean Sea formulation contains fresh marine and flower scents, which are balancing and soothing, and the Soy Comfort provides a clean, fresh scent, joyous and sensual.   We also have Citrus Ginger and an old favorite, Calming Lavender,” explains Harris.  “Hey, if you can’t take your usual summer vacation, pay us a visit, and we’ll provide a mini-getaway – at least in body, mind and spirit!”

Exfoliants, facial cleaners, masks, moisturizers, serums and toners are other skin care items that visitors will find.  They even carry soft and yummy robes that you’ll never want to take off.
