Many spas around North America are taking the art of relaxation to a whole new level with the addition of cannabis to their range of offerings. From massages to facials to aromatic oils and creams, wellness centers are embracing the healing powers of hemp. Best of all, these treatments use only cannabidiol (aka CBD), the nonpsychoactive cannabinoid extract from the hemp plant, so you don't have to worry about getting high — or a case of the munchies — to indulge. Here are spas presently offering an alternative way to unwind.

By Lark Gould
 This year's Travel Goods Show in Las Vegas brought forth plenty of new luggage, carry-on solutions, and novel ways to rest on a plane. But the show, which brings together buyers and manufacturers in this $31.1 billion market, also highlighted solutions for things not always identified as problems. Some useful, if not quirky, innovations surfaced that deserve their moment in the spotlight, even if that light is a dim beam streaming from a ceiling panel on a plane.

 In their quest to work with higher caliber clients, many small businesses play "follow the leader." They'd be much better off playing "follow the formula." You're unlikely to succeed if you copy the leaders in your field in your efforts to connect with more affluent clients. Marketing and networking exactly like other companies won't help you get the results you want. That's because you make a great you, but a lousy somebody else. You'll have a far better chance of establishing long-term relationships with blue-chip buyers if you implement this five-step formula.

Probably one of the most well-known brand fails in the past few years was Pepsi's 2017 ad featuring Kendall Jenner. Released in the midst of the Black Lives Matter and Women's March movements, the ad features the supermodel leading a group of ambiguous protestors and ends with a Pepsi peace offering to a police officer.
After receiving widespread criticism, the company quickly pulled the ad and issued a public apology. And it's not just Pepsi, companies like Google, Snapchat and Twitter have all suffered from major product flops, which can ultimately be drilled down to one core problem: a lack of diversity.

Professor Erica Kosal writes: "After reading and hearing about the physical and mental benefits of meditation, I decided to take up the practice several years ago. This led to some discussions with colleagues at work, which eventually morphed into the idea of using mindfulness in the classroom. Mindfulness is a way to pause and reflect on the here and now. To be fully present in what is happening in the present, without worry about the future or past. The idea is that teaching this philosophy and using activities and practices in the classroom should allow students to release tension and anxiety so they can focus on the material in the classroom."
