[TIP OF THE MONTH]

“Our clients really like that they can come together as a group of girls, even four or five at a time,” says Kim Krizan, owner of Tres Jolie Day Spa in Southbury, Connecticut. “This package is great this time of year, with everyone being so diet-conscious—it’s an activity that doesn’t include going out for food, but they can still sit and catch up with each other.”
