At the end of the summer after bottomless margaritas, nights at outdoor concerts instead of the gym, and most recently hurricane carbs, we usually feel like we could use a week detoxing and exercising heavily. If you're in the same sitch as us, check out the Fast Track to Health Giveaway, sponsored by Spa Week and Joy Bauer. The prize includes:

• A seven day, six night stay for two at The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge in Malibu, CA, where you'll experience the rigorous fitness and weight loss regime, made famous by The Biggest Loser. This includes  daily fitness and exercise activities, healthy low calorie meals, relaxing spa services, educational lectures and a private cooking class with the resort’s on-site executive chef. 
• To help stay on track with his/her fitness goals, the winner will also receive a copy of Joy Bauer’s bestselling book, Food Cures, a personalized nutrition program designed by Joy herself, and $175 in SpaWeek Gift Cards to relax body and mind at his/her choice of over 4,000 spas nationwide.

They have traditional hotel rooms, condos and villas for rent depending on your group's size. There's a beautiful and quiet white sand beach, huge pool areas, and golf, if it's your game. It's easy to get to via Jacksonville's airport.

It's that time of the year again, where great spas across the country offer up their popular services for only $50 a pop. Spa Week runs from April 11th through the 17th.  I always take the chance to pamper myself (somehow I can justify it if it's at a discount!). This time around I booked the Stress Melter Ritual (scrub and wrap) and a facial at The Red Door Spa. For $50 each it's like getting two for one and this close to tax day, I'll need some relief. Who wants to join me?

Book your services now, because they fill up quickly! www.spaweek.com
