One of my very favorite reasons for moving from a hustling, bustling city like NYC, to the easy, breezy beach town vibe of Palm Beach is the ever present sense of luxurious hospitality.
And it’s never more present than during Discover the Palm Beaches’ annual Spa and Wellness Month. Through October, salons, spas, fitness centers and juice bars all around Palm Beach County offer value added spa packages and beauty treatments, with a benevolent twist. For each treatment sold, a percentage is donated to the Palm Beach & Martin County Chapter of the American Cancer Society.
Did you know that Trulia recently ranked West Palm Beach the second healthiest city in the country?? I’m excited to live up to that title!
