Beauty News: Massages for cancer patients

massage_ny_images002.jpgToday's beauty find: Bliss is giving back by donating some of the profits from its newest massage the R.E.S.T. Initiative fund.
What it is: Bliss spa is introducing the R.E.S.T. Intentions massage: 60 minutes of nonstop kneading and 15 minutes of reflexology or a scalp massage--you pick! While the massage sounds like the perfect way to relax your muscles, it will put your mind at ease too; 20% of the profits from the R.E.S.T massage are going to R.E.S.T. Initiative.
Why it's cool: R.E.S.T. Initiative is a non-profit organization that helps cancer patients nationwide. They focus on wellness instead of illness and give complementary massages to people undergoing chemotherapy.
Where to find it: Log onto Bliss's website for your nearest spa location or onto R.E.S.T Initiatives website for more information on the organization.
Note to SELF: Since the holidays are just around the corner and the spirit of giving is strong, why not gift a R.E.S.T. Intentions massage? It's a great gift that sends an even better message.
