BOCA RATON RESORT, FLORIDA

It's never too early to spa at Spa and Salon Palazzo at the Boca Raton Resort. Boca helps girls 12 and under to develop fun attitudes towards grooming, providing young ladies with their own unique twist on the traditional pedicure. The Me! Bath Ice Cream Pedicure features an "ice cream sandwich-shaped pumice stone," "sherbet" foot scrub and a fizzing bath ball shaped like a scoop of ice cream that comes in chocolate, vanilla or strawberry kiwi. Land-of-milk-and-honey body wash, body "icing" lotion and a variety of polish colors are part of this luscious experience. After the pedicure, the "treat" continues as girls march their pretty little toes over to Serendipity Ice Cream Shop for a complimentary scoop of (real) ice cream. Me! Bath Ice Cream Pedicure costs $30 (including cone!) For more information visitwww.bocaresort.com/resort_activities/spa_palazzo.cfm
