It’s time to indulge in luxury. Sweet, serene, self-indulgent luxury. It’s time for SpaFinder’s Annual National $50 Spa Treatment promotion. During the week of March 8-14th, Spas listed in SpaFinder’s directory list 2 of their most popular spa treatments for only $50! Looking to try out a new treatment? Looking to try out a new neighborhood spa? This is prime opportunity to indulge at a discount. SpaFinder has a wide selection of Spas in your area. For example I entered my home Zip Code 90503 and SpaFinder returned 73 locations. Given that some of their Spa location results are too far for my taste, there is still an extensive location list to choose from. Treatments vary from European facials to Mani/Pedis to Swedish massages to Microdermabrasion. All these wonderful treatments for only $50. There’s something for every woman or man. If you’re looking for a little self-indulgence, look no further.

I must insist one thing, if your Masseuse did a stellar job then when you tip, be kind and tip based upon pre-promo rate.

Hurry and call your nearest Spa! Appointments are limited and it’s first come, first serve. If you miss this wonderful opportunity from SpaFinder, you’ll have to wait another year.

Savvy shopper? Yes we are! Summer is prime traveling season which means, high demand and high expense. I don’t know about you but I’m watching every penny going out of my wallet. I will admit, I have a weakness for cute purses, shoes, shirts, dresses, and everything else I can’t seem to live without. But a penny saved is still a penny saved.

As I’m scouting for Summer airfares, I’ve discovered this really nifty website Functravel. Functravel essentially compares multiple airlines airfare cost depending on your flight date and airports. Nothing special right? Here’s the kicker. If you check the “Low Fare Graph” and select the flight months, Functravel will produce an average airfare price for the selected flight period. Now you know what’s the average price for the flight there and back and the price of the surrounding days. This is perfect for those travelers who have a bit of flexibility and looking to save money.

Not ready to commit but know exactly where you would like to fly? Functravel has a TravelAgent alert tool. TravelAgent sends you a daily or weekly (you set the preference) email alerting you if they found airfare that matches your specifications. That’s right, you tell TravelAgent where you want to go, what date range you would like to travel, what’s the max budget and they do all the searching for you. Free travel concierge? That’s right.

I love it when technology does all the foot work for me. Now this leaves me more time to search for what I really love, like those new shoes…
