Well, once again, iSPA has outdone themselves!  This is the 17th annual conference and the largest ever as we reached 3000 attendees.   It is so exciting being one of the 3000 and having the opportunity to meet new representatives from new companies in the spa industry, being one of the first to hear about a new launch and reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.  There are people here from Canyon Ranch (www.canyonranch.com), Miraval (www.miravalresort.com), Lake Austin Spa Resort (www.lakeaustinspa.com), and it was so great to see Sheila Cluff again from the Oaks at Ojai (www.oaksspa.com) as well as meeting her daughter Cathy (who is also on the iSPA Board).  So many more and I’ll update you more about the others in my next update from the Gaylord Palms. 

Seeing my peers from the media field is also exciting.  Body and Soul, Organic Spa, USA Today and others are here as well.

New Product:  One of the new products I wanted to share with you is called Tauleto…it is a wine fragrance and has a wonderful scent.  I mostly wear lightly scented natural lotions and so it was great to see a company come out with a fragrance, which is the first perfume to be created from the natural essences of wine – the red Tauleto wine (a Sangiovese from Umberto Cesari).  It’s light, natural and I’m really liking it (and the fact that it’s from Italy is of course close to my heart!).

If you’d like to find out more about it, check out www.tauletousa.com or send me an e-mail and I’ll share more.

So, until tomorrow, enjoy your day and the spa lifestyle.  – Donna

Oh and I can’t wait to get to the Canyon Ranch Spa Club tomorrow for my Muscle Melt massage and I sure need it….I’ll tell you more about the treatment and the spa.
