If the high cost of going to the spa is keeping you from enjoying frequent afternoons of relaxation, have we got news for you. WaySpa, the online spa marketplace, is bringing Spa Week to Toronto from April 15-22, 2013. Think of Spa Week asSummerlicious for your mind, body and soul: luxury spas offer premium treatments for just $50—but for one week only.
That’s right: you can book a facial, massage, manicure, pedicure and more at some of Toronto’s top spas for only a fraction of what they usually cost. At the top of our wish list is the Luzren oxygen facial at Moksa Day Spa, the dead sea scrub body treatment at the Shizen Spas at the Cosmopolitan and Pantages Hotel and the Eminence organic blueberry soy sugar glow at Novo Spa. But there’s so many to choose from! The complete Toronto Spa Week by WaySpa treatment list is available here and we suggest booking ASAP—especially if you have your eye on more than one.
As for our readers not in Toronto, you’ll be happy to know that since its launch in 2004, Spa Week has become a popular bi-annual event across the United States. And considering that WaySpa has reach beyond the GTA (hello, Montreal!) our fingers are crossed that more Canadian cities will soon take part.
A feature of beautiful women that has been explored by researchers is a waist–hip ratio of approximately 0.70. Physiologists have shown that women with hourglass figures are more fertile than other women due to higher levels of certain female hormones, a fact that may subconsciously condition males choosing mates.
In textile producing areas the growing of cotton and production of naturally coloured thread became obsolete. Traditional motifs on textiles are no longer considered the property of a certain social class or age group. Wives of government officials are promoting the use of traditional textiles in the form of western garments, such as skirts, vests, blouses etc. This trend is also being followed by the general populace and whoever can afford to hire a tailor is doing so to stitch traditional ikat textiles into western clothes. Thus traditional textiles are now fashion goods and no longer confined to the black, white and brown colour palette, coming in array of colours. Handbags, wallets and other accessories are also being made from traditional textiles, and traditional textiles are also being used in interior decorations. These items are considered fashionable by civil servants and their families. There is also a booming tourist trade in the Kupang city of eastern Indonesia where international as well as domestic tourists want to get their hands on traditionally printed western goods.
