1. Have a Holiday Home-Spa Party
=================================
Here's a unique way to deliver your holiday gifts to your friends, family, clients, or employees - turn your Holiday Party into a Home-Spa Party! Rather than give that gift certificate for the spa visit to all the people on your list (which can really add up), bring the spa to all of them in one night. You can save a fortune, give them the gift they want, and network your entire community together as well. You can even promote yourself if you market a wellness product or offer your own services. This can be a real win-win situation.

Here are some tips on how to have a Holiday Home-Spa Party:
--Pick a date in December in the middle of the week and schedule it for the evening. Another good time is during the week between Christmas and New Years.
--Start it at 5 or 6 PM as the work day is just finishing
--Have lite healthy snacks, but plenty of them. Have one dish that is carb rich for the real hungry. This gives your group the option to eat light or make it their dinner.
--Hire your favorite massage therapist, foot reflexologist, energy healer, astrologer, and personal coach. Choose one or two of these vendors - or have all of them.
--Schedule your vendors to offer 10 - 20 minute sessions (depending on the number of people you have).
--Pay them for the evening with the understanding that this party is a way to promote themselves, so the fees should be minimal.
--Set up stations in your home or office for each vendor
--Allow them to have their business cards displayed at their station.
--If you market, sell, or distribute a health and wellness product - have it featured at the stations or have your vendors use it in their services.
--Give a pair of fluffy slippers to everyone who comes, so they can slip off their shoes immediately upon arriving.
--Give a gift bag with small spa items like a pumice stone for feet, nail files, a small bottle of lotion, bath gel or essential oil.
--If your guests can't make the date or have to cancel - send them the gift bag with the slippers in the mail. And make sure you get at least one of those services yourself at the party!

2. How the Super-Rich Shop for the Holidays
============================================
First of all they don't drive to the mall. Actually, they don't even ride in a chauffeured limo. They take a private jet to shop. Elite Traveler's magazine took a survey to find this out (Elite Traveler defines the "super-rich" as having a household net worth more than $10 million). They will spend 25% more on holiday purchases this year than last year which is 2063% more than their mass affluent counterparts (Elite Traveler defines "mass affluent" as having a household net worth between $1 million and $9.9 million). One of the things they are spending their money on this year are in-home spas! They will spend $21,700 on in-home spa expenditures and $27,800 on out-of-home spa experiences.

3. The 30 Second Commute to Work
==================================
That's my commute. 30 Seconds. From my bedroom to my office in my home. And I love it. It took me a few months to love it. I had so many temptations to cook, and clean, and do the laundry instead of work. The hardest part has been the boundaries for myself. The main reason I love it is because I can fulfill my goals of touching lives all around the globe. Through the internet and the telephone I am able to empower people with information to keep themselves and their families healthy.

I was grateful to learn the process of running teleseminars last year. Many of you have been on my teleseminars and I'm sure you'll agree - its a great way to learn. My mentor in the teleseminar trainings, Alex Mandossian, is offering a training in the next month. I'm listing this in my newsletter because I know many of you are helpers to the world in some way, and you might want to use this model like I do - to get your messages out there. His classes are very expensive, but he has allowed me to give VIP privileges to my readers and a very large discount.

There is a call this Thursday night, December 7th, in teleseminar fashion. It is $99. As a Home Spa Lady reader and VIP you can get this class for only $20 by using the VIP Code 3964. If you want to learn more about this, click on this link: Learn More.

If you want to get a glimpse of Alex, and see him on a 3 minute and 27 second video-go to: Check Out Alex!

I hope to see you there!

4. Essential Oil Tip: Diffuse the Scent of Christmas =====================================================
One of my favorite ways to decorate for the holidays is by diffusing the scent of Christmas throughout my home. There are many ways to diffuse. It can be as simple as placing essential oils on a tissue and tucking the tissue behind cushions in your furniture. You could also dowse yourself with oils and be a walking diffuser. Or, you can diffuse essential oils in a cold air diffuser. The latter is the better. It is imperative that a cold air diffuser be used, and not something that applies heat to your oil (i.e. candles or lightbulbs). Heat destroys the therapeutic value of your essential oil.

The Young Living blend called "Christmas Spirit" is a blend ofthe following oils:
--Orange (Citrus aurantium)
--Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum verum)
--Spruce (Piicea mariana)

It is one of the best ways to sprinkle Christmas all throughout your home!Order your oils from your Young Living distributor or by going to Young Living's Website

"Eighty percent of success is showing up."

7.Recipe of the Week: Healthy Party Punch
============================================
This non-alcoholic party punch is healthy and delicious! It is also naturally sweetened with fruit juices and no refined sugars.

Ingredients:
--Strawberry-Mango Juice (from Trader Joe's)
--2 Quarts--Pelligrino Water ( 1 1/2 large bottles) or Perrier
--Fruit Cocktail in natural juices
--Ningxia Red Antioxidant Juice, or your favorite juice / 6 oz.

Place all ingredients in a punch bowl. For an added bonus you can freeze the fruit cocktail before you put it in punch bowl (in baggies - then slightly thaw to remove from baggie)For extra color place fresh peppermint on top of punch.

7. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================
As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual,"And what would you like for Christmas? "The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute,then gasped: "Didn't you get my E-mail?"
