===============================1.Caviar Facial, Beer Pedicure===============================
Not your normal spa treatments, but then again - why not becreative with nature? - it has so much to offer!
Chicago-based Spas are getting lots of attention and businessfor their unique and effective spa treatments. Channing's DaySpa offers a Caviar Facial, which they consider one of their bestanti-aging facials. This isn't the type of caviar you would eat.It's freeze-dried and imported from Switzerland "for skin only".
"Caviar has the same composition as human skin, it's composed of70 percent amino acids and trace minerals," says Renella,President of Channings.
The Beer Pedicure is attracting many. . . guess who?. . .MEN!Exsalonce Spa owner Tony Odisho says, "Beer has enzymes so wefound that the enzymes soften the calluses and the hopsmoisturize the feet". A favorite part of this treatment formany men who imbibe is they get to finish the can of brew!
================================================================2. Olive Oil Protects Against Bowel Cancer================================================================
Researchers pulled data from:
--International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC)--Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations--International Olive Oil Council--Info on food and bowel cancer patterns from 28 countries,including most of Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States,Brazil, Colombia, Canada, and China.
More than 3/4 of the difference in rates of bowel cancer amongthe different countries studied was explained by three dietaryfactors:
--Large consumption of meat or fish was associated with anincreased risk--A diet rich in olive oil was associated with a decreased risk.--A diet high in meat, and low in cereals and vegetables, alsoincreased risk
Olive oil decreased risks regardless of the amount of fruit andvegetables in the diet.

=========================================2. Cellulite Solutions=========================================
You don't have to be overweight to have a cellulite problem.
According to Dr. Murad, author of "The Cellulite Solution",cellulite isn't a fat problem, it's a skin problem. Cellulitehas nothing to do with how much you weigh, nor does it improvewith weight loss.
Cellulite is hereditary. Until recently it was also thought to bepermanent. In the last several years, many treatments haveemerged to reduce and eliminate it.
Here are some of the treatments:
--Creams and Lotions The key ingredients in most creams and lotions for cellulite are methylxanthines, one form of which is caffeine. Caffeine creams work great to pull fluids out of the spaces between cells and induce lipolysis (fat burning in the layer just below the skin's surface).
In a study published in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery in 1999, researchers found that methylxanthine creams reduce fat cells in skin, with visible results in about eight weeks. The higher the concentration of methylxanthine, the better the cream worked.
--Diet Dieting to lose weight may not help cellulite. But, according to Dr. Murad, eating foods that "feed" skin can help strengthen cell membranes and keep cellulite from migrating. Some of these foods are: eggs, soy, cauliflower, and peanut butter (for lecithin), flaxseed, olive and canola oils, ground flax, and raw nuts (for essential fatty acids), berries, pomegranates, goji berries (a type of berry found in Central Asia), and citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits (for antioxidants, polyphenols, and amino acids). Eating foods that are natural diuretics can reduce fluid retention which improves the appearance of cellulite.
--Light Therapy Devices These are designed to melt cellulite, increase circulation, and drain lymph vessels.
There are two FDA approved devices: --TriActive - a laser light therapy, done twice- weekly for 16 weeks. Treatments are 40-minutes and cost around $1,200. --VelaSmooth - radio frequency energy, combined with infrared light, to heat up and then release cellulite. Ten treatments costs $2000 and lasts at least six months.
--Endermologie A mechanical massage technique that combines rollers and suction to affect the skin's connective tissue. This stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Treatments consists of 20 45-minute treatments. Cost is $150 to $300 per treatment.
--Mesotherapy A medication "cocktail" administered in a series of rapid injections, during 30 to 60 minute sessions. Ten sessions are needed for the best results. This is a very controversial treatment. The cost runs between $800 and $1,500 for six to 10 sessions. Results are said to be long-lasting.
--Natural Therapy Manual massage therapy utilizing massage oil containing healthful benefits to improve skin texture. One good suggestion is Cel-lite Magic Massage Oil from Young Living Essential Oils. The essential oils that are effective in this blend are grapefruit, to help tighten skin, and juniper, that works as a detoxifier and cleanser. Apply this at home every day on affected area. (Order Cel-lite Magic at http://tinyurl.com/aenfp)
--Exercise One of the most effective forms of exercise that can reduce the appearance of cellulite is Bikram Yoga. This is also known as Hot Yoga.The 90 minute class is held in a room heated between 102 and 106 degrees. The combination of postures with the sweating, when done on a consistent basis, can firm the body in amazing ways. Learn about Bikram at http://www.bikramyoga.com/
--Body Brushing Dry brushing can help the lymphatic drainage system to remove toxins from the body. Brush over cellulite areas (butt and thighs). This is where fats, proteins and waste products tend to accumulate. Dry brush five minutes before your bath or shower. Use a natural bristle brush and make long strokes. Work your way up the body by starting at the feet and moving towards the heart. Use gentle downward strokes on the neck, throat, and chest.
--Water Never underestimate the power of drinking water for many reasons, including improving the texture of the skin and for flushing toxins. A good rule of thumb for the appropriate amount of water intake is drinking half of your body weight in ounces every day.

Thanks Quin for your kind thoughts. . .
"Hello Marilee!
I am a YL distributor, not in your downline, living in Carlisle,PA. I just wanted to extend my thanks to you for your wonderfulnewsletter, The Home Spa Lady, and for your willingness to sharewith all of us in Young Living. I have learned so much from youand other leaders in YL who give so much, regardless of who is intheir downline. Although I have been using YL products since1998, I didn't persue it as a real business until three yearsago. I have really struggled. However, thanks to you and otherswho share, I have learned so much and have been able to let go ofways that didn't serve me and learn ways that do! I attendedyour class at convention last year with Vicki Opfer and thenshared the CD of it with several of my downline, especially thosewho are in the nursing field. Your words of wisdom coming fromyour background have been a big comfort and strength to them.
Just wanting to extend my love and appreciation to you! Thankyou!
With Love,Quin StringhamNatural Health and Wellness Consultant"

Garlicky KaleServes: 6
2 pounds kale, about 2 bunches4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil4 or 5 cloves garlicpinch red pepper flakessplash red wine vinegarsalt to tastefreshly ground black pepper
--Remove stems from the kale and chop the leaves coarsely. Washand drain well but do not dry.
--Heat a large sauté pan, add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil andenough kale to cover the bottom of the pan, and cook over highheat while stirring to rotate the leaves. Add more kale as theleaves wilt. When all the kale has been added, season with salt,cover and reduce the heat to medium.

--Remove the kale to a warm bowl and set aside. Add the remainingtablespoon of olive oil to the pan along with the garlic and redpepper. Sauté just until you smell the aroma of garlic.
