Whether it's farm to table organic produce, the tech industry, fine arts and dining, or pretty much anything else you can think of, California is a well known hub for excellence in all areas. Where else can you experience nearly consistent temperatures of 75 degrees or the greatest wine country in America? That's all aside from the Hollywood appeal of celebrities walking the streets.

From the outside looking in, it might seem like nothing more than a continuous amount of fun in the sun, but anyone who lives near one of the major cities like L.A. or San Francisco knows just how hectic and stressful it can really be. Thank goodness this state is also home to some of the best spa's in the nation as well!
