For those of you who aren't counting it down the way you do for Christmas or summer vacay, Spa Week is here! 

Spa Week is a weeklong event where participating spas offer one or two of their services for a flat rate of $50.  $50!!  Even John Q. Badeconomy can afford that!

 Here's how it works: The spas pick a service or two that they already offer, then knock the price down to $50.  Don't think you're limited to a mani-pedi number, either; in order to draw in new clients, plenty of spas offer juicy services like microdermabrasion, body polishes, facials, even massage. 

You can get as many treatments at as many spas as you want, but be warned: just like the Nordstom's sale, only the early bird gets the facial.  Block out some time, like, right now, to scout around Spa Week's website to find a spa and book an appointment.

Heaviest participation is in the midwest and on the east coast, but you can head to Spa Week's site to find a spa near you that's in on this sweet deal.
