I’m writing from the amazing Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee (Florida), which will be my home for the next few days as I’m attending the International Spa Association’s Conference & Expo (iSPA).  As a writer, it is my favorite event as I’m in my element…..that of wellness, sustainability and everything spa related.  I’ll be updating you here from notes for my Dear Donna column and magazine related articles.  This is the largest expo in the history of this event and one of the most exciting opportunities due to the professional sessions and general sessions and of course networking with my friends and peers.

This resort is also home to the Canyon Ranch Spa Club (www.canyonranch.com) and you can be sure I’ll be revisiting that area and will share some news about all they have to offer here. 

Today’s ‘green’ tip:    We all love water and know the importance of consuming what our body needs to function properly, and bottled water is certainly preferred in my home, however here at our expo we have a focus on sustainability and will not be using bottled water.  Instead we will have water stations in our conference area and all of us will be using a water bottle so we can just fill up and go.  I encourage you to consider making that small change in your home and at work.   One small change makes a big difference.
