Why Wednesdays Rule: Mid-Week Spa Deals

There’s something about Wednesdays. It’s a day when thoughts of the weekend creep into your psyche while the responsibilities of the week still bear down on your shoulders. I call it the Wednesday wiggle. Apparently, from my quick Wikipedia scan, Wednesday got its name from Woden, which really means Odin, the mythological Norse god of wisdom, war, art, culture and the dead. Totally TMI, I know. But weigh that against its modern-day “hump day” moniker and somewhere in between is a sign that Wednesday is one of those days you don’t want to blow off. So when the Wednesday wiggle hits, a spa dip quenches the mid-week itch but doesn’t give you a hangover the next morning. You could enjoy a late afternoon or evening treatment at just about any spa in town or save a buck by heading to VH Spa for Vitality + Health at Hotel Valley Ho, where every Wednesday, all 60-minute services are $60 (regularly $130) and all 90-minute treatments are $90 (regularly $190). And if hump day gets away from you, consider Thursday (named of course after Thor, the god of thunder), where at Joya Spa at the Montelucia Resort, you can bliss out to a happy hour special. From 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays, you can enjoy a $55 mini spa service or for $40, spend the evening in the salon and get a shampoo, blow dry and style, manicure and martini. Now what you do with your weekends, that’s up to you but you might want to take a peek at our SpaBound Summer passport offers, which will quench the itch to break away all summer long. Happy hump day!
