Look, ma—I'm at the spa!

Girls' Life, June-July, 2004

You spend plenty of time by the pool. But how about lulling poolside while getting peddies, mannies and massages? Spa treatments aren't just for moms anymore. Santa Barbara's Bacara Resort and Spa (bacararesort.com) offers personal training for teens, makeup and brow definition for girls, and croquet games on the lawn while sipping Grape Lime Rickey.

The Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa (arizonabiltmore.com) in Phoenix has a teen menu, featuring nail art, hair braids and henna body-painting. (Better save your allowance--the Biltmore's 50-minute Fresh Face Purifying Facial to "treat unwanted blemishes" is a steep $125.) More affordable are Diva Day parties hosted by Harmony Hair & Day Spa (harmonyhair.net) in Betford, Pa. A cool $25 each gets a slew of services for you and eight friends.
