1. Home Spa Tip for Under Eye Circles
===============================
When you wake up with dark circles under your eyes you might want to go to your kitchen cabinet for the remedy: a raw potato.

The enzymes in the potato can work as a skin lightener. You simply grate a palm full of the potato and wrap it in cheesecloth. Use this as a compress that you apply to your eyes for approximately 15 minutes.

In celebration of St. Patty's Day we honor the spud for its beauty and healing effects! You might want to have yours ready for the morning of March 18th!
==================================
2. Sex and the Soybean
==================================
Did you know that tofu was traditionally used in Buddhist monasteries to help monks maintain their vows of celibacy? And in Japan, unfaithful husbands were punished by their revengeful wives by adding more soy in their diets.

Dr. Kaayla Daniel, the author of "The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food" will be touching on this topic along with other myth busting soy stories in my upcoming teleseminar.

Here are some other highlights from her book:
--Why Soy Infant Formula is a Formula for Disaster: there is 50 to 80 times more manganese in soy formula than breast or cows milk formulas. This can adversely affect the developing brain and nervous system leading to learning disabilities, ADD, and behavioral disorders
--Soy may possibly contribute to cancer
--The Flatulence Factor - how the soy industry is trying to give status to flatus
--Soy industry went from $800 million in 1992 to $4 billion in2003 which shows the Soy Dreams of Hitler, Mussolini, and Henry Ford are coming true
--Collusion of the FDA and soy industry and corruption of scientific research
--Soy is one of the top eight allergies
--Where the soys are and how to avoid them

You can learn more about these astounding issues and even have the opportunity to ask your own questions in the Tele-Seminar next week (in the comfort of your own home, of course).

Now,I have a question for you. Since there is only one hour for this call I may not have time to drill her on all of these issues! If we had to pick 2 or 3 of the top areas of interest in this line up, which of the above would you choose?

I would love to hear your response, even if you don't plan to be on the call that night. You can still get the CD recording of the call. Your input is valuable. Send me a quick email on what you would like to know most about soy, Write to me at marilee777@aol.com.

I'm soy excited, I can't wait!

The Teleseminar date is Thursday March 23 at 8 PM EST (7 CST, 6 MST, 5 PST). Even if you can't make that date and time, when you register you will still get the recorded CD of the call mailed directly to you at your home.

3. Electricity Kills Cancer Cells
===============================
At Eastern Virginia Medical School and Old Dominion University, scientists say they've killed melanomas in mice by using jolts of electricity. These jolts are extremely short, high-voltage doses. Researchers have said that they've never had a tumor that did not respond tothis treatment.

The way that it works is that these bursts (4,000 volts) disrupt the blood flow to the tumor cells and the nucleus of the cell shrinks by 50 percent. After two or three weeks of treatments the tumor dies. More research will be done before this is tried on humans.

Look for this research starting today (March 15 2006) in the journal for Biochemical and Biophysical Research at: http://tinyurl.com/zgnkb

In Issue #11 of Home Spa Lady's Tips of the Week, I wrote about the research that has been done on the use of Frankincense essential oil and malignant melanoma, including the findings of the anti-tumoral action of Frankincense. Many of us (and you readers) are combining energy work with the essential oils and most of us have seen these "mini-miracles" occur.

Wouldn't it be great to see some research combining the power of the therapeutic essential oils with electricity/energy work?

4. Spring Allergies - The Scoop at my Blog
==================================
For those of you who don't know what a "blog" is, the word "blog" is short for the words "web log". A blog is usually based on a certain topic and it logs information such as comments, rants, teachings, events, and it even allows comments from readers.
I've been running my Home Spa Lady blog for several months now. The information is much like what you may read here on the Tips of the Week (excluding the jokes!). I like to post on the blog a few times a week.

After several requests and inquiries from my clients and a few family members about what to do for spring allergies, I decided to write a short post on my blog about allergies so that I couldrefer people there.

Well, a short post became rather long - I guess I had alot to say! It would've been a good topic for this newsletter, but much too long. If you do have an interest in reading this, you can go to that particular posting on my blog by clicking this link: http://tinyurl.com/mzppu

5. Smoke Your Salmon with Oolong Tea
==================================
Tea is not just for drinking. I found that out when my tea-lovin' friend passed along this recipe. In this recipe you actually smoke your salmon with oolong tea. Make sure you are comfortable with "smoking in your kitchen", or you may have other mechanisms to smoke your food.
Either way, here's therecipe:

2/3 cup jasmine rice
1/2 cup oolong tea
1/2 cup brown sugar
MARINADE
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup olive oil2/3 cup rum
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons grated ginger
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
salt to taste
SALSA
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
Hot sauce to taste
salt to taste

Mix the marinade ingredients in a one-quart zipper lock bag. Add salmon and marinate in refrigerator six to eight hours.

Mix the salsa ingredients together and allow flavors to meld at room temperature for an hour.

Mix together the rice, tea, and brown sugar. Line a deep, lidded pan with foil and spread the tea mixture evenly over the bottom. Place a cake rack over the mixture and set the salmon on the rack. Heat over high heat until tea mixture begins to smoke. Cover tightly with the lid or aluminum foil, reduce heat to medium low, and cook 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and allow to cook another five minutes. Top with the salsa. Serves 4.

6. HSL's Joke, or Cute Quote, of the Week
===================================
Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O'Brian grew up togethera nd were lifelong friends. But alas, Patrick developed cancer,and was dying. While on his death bed, Patrick called to his buddy, Shawn, "O'Brian, come 'ere. I 'ave a request for ye."

Shawn walked to his friend's bedside and kneeled.

"Shawny ole boy, we've been friends all our lives, and now I'm leaving 'ere. I 'ave one last request fir ye to do."

O'Brian burst into tears, "Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It's done."

"Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland. Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I'll be able to enjoy it for all eternity."

O'Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend's request, he asked, "Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I strain it through me kidneys first?"
