Best of Rhode Island 2009 Editors' Picks

Just because we're in a reces-sion doesn't mean you have to eschew the spa. There are plenty of places for pampering that won't cost you the remainder of your 401K. One of our favorites is Glow, where we always order up the Body Soothing Session. Owner and esthetician Cristin Almeida works a mixture of essential oils and body creams into our skin in this treatment that feels more like an ultra-moisturizing massage. We always leave feeling totally blissed out – especially when we remember the $55 price tag.
