Margaritas, manicures and your best gal-pals

I remember being perched on the edge of the tub while Mom teased her hair, slathered on her lipstick and shrouded herself in perfume. Times have changed and going out is a whole new experience for women today. Sure, there'll always be date night and business meetings after cocktail hour - but there's also wonderful, magical spas. Add in your girlfriends and you've got the perfect girlfriend experience.

Girlfriend ExperienceGirlfriend ExperienceI love the spa - just ask all the guys who work with me how shameless I am about my need for absolute pampering. But I also happen to love wine, margaritas and my girlfriends. Now I can have it all - without missing a day of work.

Want to get in on the fun? Have a look at these fab spas in Canada and the United States that are making the "Girlfriend Experience" priority number one.

Shag in Boston - If the name doesn't intrigue you, the wine and cappuccinos during treatments will. The best part is how cozy the salon is so catching up on the office gossip while your color sets is totally doable. If you want to get "shagged" check out Shag online.

NiteSpa - This spa comes alive when the stars come out. Bachelorette, birthday or just the ultimate girlfriend experience, isn't it time you treated yourself to the NiteSpa-a-go-Go? Concierge service includes party planning, spa appointments, cocktails and a discount on take-home products. Visit NiteSpa online and rediscover why you just can't live without your girlfriends.

Millcroft Inn - We'll admit that the name isn't as fun as Shag, but if you're in need of a stress-detox, this is the spa to escape to. Hide yourself away in an artist studio, stroll through the picturesque countryside or go antiquing - all between spa appoints, of course. It's a busy spa (lots of city escapees flock here on the weekends!) so book well in advance if you have your heart set on a specific weekend. Visit the Millcroft online for more info.

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

  • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
