Spa Haters: Just Send Them Love

There's nothing I find more tiresome than stories by spa haters. Usually they go something like this: "I loathe the very idea of spas! That's why I've never been to one! But my editor gave me an assignment, I went to a great spa, and surprise! I loved it!" I suppose it's more dynamic than the gushy spas stories that are equally annoying. "I had a fabulous time and fabulous treatments in Bali that you never will!" But my general feeling is, "oh, spare me." That said, I am highly amused by About.com Honeymoons Guide Susan Breslow, a confirmed spa hater, on why she hates spas. What does she hate? Forms that ask about birth control so she can get a simple pedicure, being told she has chakras that need to be realigned, being touched by strangers, etc. I don't agree with what she says, but I give her this -- she's funny! And she doesn't have the all-too-predictable conversion! Stick to your spa-hating guns, Susan! We'll send your heart chakra some loving energy!
