International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8th to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. International Women’s Day (IWD) has been publicized for well over a century with the first gathering held in 1908 where 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights. In 1911, IWD was honored for the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. More than one million women and men attended rallies campaigning for women’s rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination. Today, IWD connects women from across the globe through political rallies, business conferences and networking events. The symbolic colors of IWD are Purple, Green & White, with Purple signifying justice and dignity, Green symbolizing hope and White representing purity.

Planet Beach will be recognizing women from across the globe on IWD by offering a complimentary spa session for first time guests. We understand that a woman can be successful and beautiful at the same time, so we’ve created customized regimes that will help you to achieve your ultimate beauty and wellness goals. With services, such as the red-light facial, teeth whitening application and the ever-popular Sunless Spray Tanning session, we’ll help you look and feel stunning and ready to conquer the world!

Let’s face it, women are amazing! With our fierce communication skills, attention to detail, emotional awareness and the innate ability to run a household while maintaining a career, we rule the world, or as Beyoncé would say, “Who Run the World, Girls”

Happy IWD from Planet Beach! xoxo
