Austin's premier green resort and wellness spa, announced today that Maggie Wagner,
an 18-year spa industry veteran, will join the renowned facility as its new spa
director. Wagner comes to The Crossings after opening an eco-luxury spa at Inn

Wellness Spa at The Crossings, which was founded on those principles," said
Alan Goldschneider, general manager at The Crossings. Wagner's
spa experience stretches across the U.S., having served as spa director at some
of the top resorts, including Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa at Lake Arrowhead,
California, Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Greenbrier Spa at the
Westin Savannah Harbor Resort and Barnsley Gardens Resort in Adairsville, Georgia.

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
