A longtime fan of solo retreats, I've traveled much of the world on my own. One of my most life-changing experiences was at the highly regarded Chiva-Som (Hua Hin, Thailand) where I felt anything but alone thanks to a group of likeminded spa-goers I immediately bonded with over dinner at the spa's popular Talker Table. A good friend of mine...

For me, Rancho La Puerta (Tecate, Mexico) has always been about family. I’ve been lucky enough to have been a guest there several times, and each time, I’ve been accompanied by at least one member of my family. My mother has joined me three times, and my dad came with us the last time. While visiting The Ranch as a...

Fortunately, thanks to Ann Abel's inciteful reporting for Well+GoodNYC , I didn't have to succumb to that particular fate. Then again, there might be something to it considering the rock stars...

I have been a fan of the hit TV show "The Biggest Loser" since season one (It's now completing season 13). Although it is considered "reality television," the show actually helps contestants not only lose weight in a huge way but also inspires them, and viewers, to lead a healthier lifestyle. So it is a perfect fit having one of...

Like most people, I find the gym can get a bit monotonous at times. While I try to mix up my routine with a variety of classes, I still find myself losing interest. It could be the fact that my gym's selection of classes haven't changed all that much throughout the years. That's why I was thrilled to discover GoRecess...
