Hosting guests can be a big feat, so anything you can do to make the process easier for yourself is essential. LoBello recommends creating the dining space in close proximity to the barbecue or an entrance into the house so as to save time running between the table and the kitchen.

In decades past

In decades past, a trip to a spa was like a mini-vacation. Spas were more like resorts because you’d stay for a few days, and their expense meant they were luxuries most often reserved for the rich and famous. These types of spas, called destination spas or resort spas, still exist (and you don’t necessarily have to be a millionaire to visit one), but there’s another type of spa available now — the day spa.

A day spa

A day spa may have most of the treatments and facilities available at a larger resort spa, but you only go there for as long as the treatment takes, typically an hour or two. Since you’re not spending the night, a day spa is quite a bit cheaper than a resort spa.

Spa first-timer

If you’re a spa first-timer, the spa’s employees will help guide you through the various services and procedures, letting you know what’s expected of both you and your esthetician. Still, it’s a good idea to learn about spa etiquette ahead of time. These are general rules that most spas adhere to, but if you have questions, you should call the spa to find out how the staff does things.

Spa employees
