Travel Guide
For many Midwesterners, road trips to nearby states are a favorite childhood memory. Even with the hustle and bustle of life, road trips don’t have to end with childhood. When there’s no time for an extended vacation, sometimes all you need is a quick getaway to relax, relate and release – and any GREAT weekend getaway starts with self-care. So why not pack up the car, grab your girlfriends and head to a place with much to do, much to see and much to eat, creating the perfect environment for you to destress; somewhere that feels like, depending on where you’re from, a home away from home. Hello Chicago! To kick off your escape, here are five unique spas you must visit for a massage.
