These treatments are going way beyond the expected to leave you feeling great.
Crystal chakra healing and sweat lodge chanting. Bathing in sound waves — and in nature. Today's spa-goers are bypassing entry-level wellness in favor of more immersive experiences that offer deeper transformations —both physical and spiritual. These are just a few out-there sounding trends that are getting mainstreamed at spas around the world.

 With CVS recently announcing that it will begin to permanently phase out photoshopped images from their beauty aisles, it's difficult to deny that a major shift toward authenticity in the beauty industry has begun. The glossy ads that portray images of contoured, poreless and almost plastic-like skin textures have seen their best days. We are about to see beauty packaging and imaging for major cosmetic, skin care and personal care products in a whole new, unapologetically raw light.

Coming off the winter holidays, most of us start dreaming of, if not planning, our spring and summer getaways. It's tempting, of course, to default to the same vacation each year: your family's cabin, a familiar beach town, your favorite city, that resort the kids loved. We often choose to spend our hard-earned dollars for comfort, predictability, and relaxation, and there are benefits to doing so.

Beer spas are popping all over Eastern Europe — and promise all sorts of health benefits.
Of course, you can drink as much beer as you want when you're there, too.
This is a beer lover's fantasy — and has to be the stag do dream. But would you take a date to a beer spa — or head to one on a romantic weekend away?
At Beer Spa, Prague, punters are offered unlimited amounts of light and dark Krušovice beer, a hop sauna and a wheat straw bed to rest in for around $86 per person per hour.
And Thermal Beer Spa in Budapest costs about $53 for 45 minutes in the beer spa, while a tub for two people comes in at about $12.

 Scholars have written numerous articles on leadership. Many of these articles center on the traits of a leader, actions or responses of a leader or even why some consider one individual a great leader over another. Was it their time in history — being in the right place at the right time? Was it their extensive training, or lack thereof, that enabled them to persevere through the challenges they faced? Or was it plain old "good luck" that helped them through?

The Lead Change Group (commentary)
Julia Felton, a contributor for The Lead Change Group, writes: "Recently as I prepared for delivering a Leading Through Change programme I thought I would research the different leadership models that exist. Boy, was that a bad idea, as there are a plethora of models all extolling some different perspective. Nothing right or wrong with any of them, but the challenge is that they all focus on something outside the leader. In essence, they forget that the leader is an integral part of the situation and that a leadership style is not something you can simply adopt. It must be something that comes from within. "
