Spa getaways for the country mom
Take Mom on a well-deserved weekend getaway or day trip to the Grand Cascades Lodge at Crystal Springs about an hour outside of New York City in Hardyston, New Jersey. The Adirondack-style, 250-room resort (rates start at $269 per night) is home to the new day spa, Reflections. The elegant, red-and-crystal-accented spa is a complementary contrast to the rustic looking lodge and is highlighted by an 8,000-quartz-crystal ceiling, Thai yoga massage suite and one-of-a-kind treatments like the Chardonnay Vinotherapy Massage (50 minutes, $100) incorporating wine from the lodge's award-winning, 60,000-plus-bottle wine cellar.
Give Mom a taste of the glamorous life with Reflections' indulgent Red Carpet Facial (100 minutes, $210). The facial takes several steps to ensure that Mom leaves feeling rejuvenated, including the use of a "liquid gold" protein enzyme to stimulate and dramatically improve the skin's appearance; a stimulating cinnamon enzyme peel that increases lymphatic drainage while deep-cleansing each pore; and two soy protein masks layered over the peel for a detoxifying and tightening effect. While the masks dry, a luxurious anti-aging massage cream is smoothed over the hands and arms. Reflections also offers prenatal specific treatments for Moms-to-be.
