Treat and Retreat

August 14, 2007

Go

Whether it’s a screen saver with an ocean view, or closing your eyes and going to a ‘happy place,’ we all have coping mechanisms for stress. When deep cleansing breaths on your drive home from work won’t cut it, consider taking a respite at The Crossings. From hiking trails to wellness classes, this Hill Country hideaway is just what the therapist (mental and massage) ordered.

You may have crossed paths with The Crossings for a spa treatment or overnight stay, but have you taken advantage of their fabulous day pass offer? For $35, you’ll be granted access to all spa amenities, infinity pool, outdoor trails, cafe, bookstore, wellness classes (mat pilates or zen meditation) and evening entertainment, as well as a meal ticket. Why lay out at your crowded apartment pool when you can treat yourself to a day of lazy luxury at this sanctuary? Call 24 hours in advance to make reservations.

Now open that day planner and schedule some R&R ASAP.
