Today on DelmarvaLife –
Some school-aged children look forward to going back to school because they know they will get at least one hot meal a day.

Salisbury Mayor Jake Day; and Salisbury’s Neighborhood Relations Manager, Kevin Lindsay talk about the program and what kind of difference they see in the students participate in it.

When you have sore or aching muscles, doesn’t it feel good to get in a hot bath, or lay on a heating pad? Heat goes a long way toward creating relief. That’s why, as far back as 2,000 years, historical accounts show heated stones were used to improve function in the body. Heated stone therapy is used during some spa massages at About Faces Day Spa and Salon in Salisbury. Now, it’s been added to spa manicures and pedicures. We learn about the benefits.
