1. Happy New YOU - "10" Things We Do to a New You in 2010
=========================================================

Here are 10 things we do ~
that if you bring consciousness to ~
will Create a New You ~
in 2010 !!

I love when "Zen" and "Practicality" come together.

The simple becomes profound, even life changing,
with just a bit of conscious awareness to normal
activities of daily living.

I've created this list and added short explanations
of why, how, and what to expect.

Applying conscious awareness to these things, along with
positive intent, will produce outcomes that will create
a New You in the year to come.


Chew
Chew your mouthful of food at least 20 times.
Digestion begins with chewing. Saliva lubricates
the food and releases enzymes to help break down
food. It also aids the transport of nutrients from
the food into your body.
This will help you:
--feel full faster
--eat less
--have less gas and bloating


Breathe
Take deep breaths often and prolong
exhalations when you can.
Deep breathing brings more oxygen into the body.
Every cell is nourished. This promotes
relaxation. Your metabolism will increase.
Endorphins (the bodies own painkillers) will release.
The lungs help to detoxify the body.
This will help you:
--relax
--relieve stress-related aches
--sleep better
--clear the mind
--rid of toxins


Move
Move the body as often as you can
including bouncing motions. Movement
and bouncing mobilize your lymphatic
system. This system helps to remove
toxins from your tissues. There are many
other benefits to moving your body.
This will help you:
--eliminate toxins
--develop muscles strength
--improve bone health
--breathe more naturally
--oxygenate tissues
--strengthen your heart
--burn calories
--decrease your appetite


Sweat
Create conditions in which you can sweat.
The skin is an organ of elimination and
has as one of its functions the ability
to get rid of harmful toxins in the body,
thus taking pressure off of other important
organs of elimination.
This will help you:
--cleanse your skin
--improve blood circulation
--lose weight
--relax
--detoxify the body


Smile
Smile more. Smile often. Smile as much as you can
(even if you don't feel like it).
People are drawn to people who smile.
Smiling lifts the face and makes you look younger.
This will help you:
--improve your mood
--stay positive
--relieve stress
--look more attractive
--relieve stress
--seem more successful


Sunbathe
Get yourself in the sunshine often in small doses
but at least 5 minutes a day.
Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to
exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight.
There is overwhelming research to the benefits of
taking in enough Vitamin D, and it is so easy just
through sunshine.
This will help you:
--prevent osteoporosis
--balance insulin production
--prevent cancer
--improve depression


Poop
Make sure your colon is eliminating properly.
Many health experts say that "death begins
in the colon". Improper elimination, such as
constipation can have tremendous negative impact
on the body and it can create toxicity in the tissues
and the organs which appear as a variety of symptoms.
Ideally you should have a bowel movement naturally
after every meal. Consider colon cleansing techniques
if you are not pooping enough.
This will help you:
--think more clearly
--breathe better
--eliminate allergies
--stop bloating after meals
--have more energy
--lose weight
--improve concentration
--absorb vitamins and minerals better
--have clear skin
--have better overall healthful feeling


Listen
Being an authentic listener has tremendous benefits.
When you truly listen to others you can expand your
knowledge, improve relationships, reduce communication
errors, and become more well-liked. Listening to
yourself has even greater benefits. Having the ability
to be still and quiet enough to listen to your inner
voice and Divine Guidance can shift your perceptions,
strengthen your decisions, and change your life. Listening
is the basis for many meditative practices.
Listening better to others and yourself
will help you:
--solve problems
--make better decisions
--learn more about others and yourself
--have greater recognition
--be less distracted
--gain m ore respect
--uncover opportunities
--have more inner peace

Hydrate
Drinking water is vital to the body. Our bodies are made
up of mostly water and when we are dehydrated the many
systems in the body suffer. Every cell in the body needs
water. True hydration comes from drinking water only, not
from other beverages.
This will help you:
--reduce hunger
--look younger with healthier skin
--rid body of fat
--combat daily ailments like headaches
--improve digestion and constipation
--keep joints and muscles lubr icated
--be more productive and alert
--think more clearly
--relieve fatigue

Stretch
Stretching comes naturally to all of us, but not
many of us pay attention to when we want and need
to do it. The body has a natural inclination to
stretch when the muscles and tendons have not been
used for awhile, such as upon awakening from sleep.
Stretching is also very natural for animals. We can
observe how frequently cats and dogs stretch to
become more aware of our own need and desire to
stretch. Stretching frequently with conscious intention
beyond the natural inclination, helps to keep the body in shape.
This will help you:
--increase blood circulation
--reduce muscle tension
--increase energy levels
--increase range of motion
--reduce back pain
--increase flexibility
--feel good

2. Essential Oil Tip: Hangover Remedy
=========================================

Should you imbibe on New Years Eve
and have a less than optimal morning after. . .

The Young Living Essential Oil Blend of
"Harmony" is indicated as a natural
remedy for hangovers.

Rub this oil on your sternum and back of neck
to relieve hangover symptoms.

3. Quote of the Week: Secret to Happiness
=========================================

........Success, Happiness and Contentment. . .

"The secret is to enjoy being you."

~Diane von Furstenberg


=======================================================
4. Recipe of the Week: Organic Cinnamon Rolls
=======================================================

Homemade organic cinnamon rolls with orange icing

Start the mix on Christmas eve day, then bake the next day.

¦4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose organic flour
¦1 package dry yeast
¦1 cup organic milk
¦1/3 cup sugar
¦1/3 cup organic butter
¦1/2 teaspoon salt
¦2 organic eggs

In a mixing bowl combine 2 cups flour + yeast.

In a saucepan heat your milk gently with the sugar,
butter, and salt til just warm.

Add the milk mix plus eggs to the flour and
yeast and mix well (about three minutes).

Grab a big wooden spoon and mix in as much of the
rest of the flour as you can.

Knead the dough til it’s smooth and elastic-like.

Shape dough into a ball, place in a lightly greased bowl,
then let it sit for about an hour til it doubles in size.

Punch dough down, divide in half, cover
and let it rest 10 minutes.

While it rests make your cinnamon mix.

Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon.

Roll the dough portions into two 12×8 rectangle, brush
3 tablespoons melted butter over the two rectangles,
then sprinkle half the cinnamon mix onto each portion.

Roll up your rectangles like a jelly roll.

Seal the end seams of the rolls then cut each roll into
12 equal pieces.

Place into 2 greased 9 inch baking pans, cover
loosely with plastic wrap and pop them into the fridge.

On New Years morning take the rolls out of the fridge
and let them sit for 30 minutes then bake for 20-25 minutes
in a 375 oven.

Cool, remove from pans and drizzle with icing.

For icing just mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 1/4
teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon orange juice.

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

On New Year's Eve Sally, who had been angry
with her husband, went out with a few girlfriends
and had too much champagne.

She started to drive home and she realized that she was
in no shape to drive, so she sensibly left her
Lexus parked in the lot and walked home.

As she was wobbling along, she was stopped
by a policeman. 'What are you doing out
here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked
the police officer.

'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Sally.

'And who on earth, in their right mind,
is going to give a lecture at this time
on New Year's Eve?' enquired the police officer
sarcastically.

'My husband,' she grimly slurred.

* Future Plans for Home Spa Lady Tips
=======================================

I'm simplifying. . . and you will be
getting more!

Starting in the new year you will now
be receiving a "Tip of the Week".

Yup, "a" simple tip - once a week!
(in place of this LONG newsletter)

Sometimes that is all we need. . .
that little insight, a reminder,
or a quick lesson on a simple
but powerful technique that we
can do during the day that can
help us improve our lifestyle, feel
better, look better, and be
healthy and happy.

But don't worry, I'm not going
anywhere!

Actually there will be more ways
for you to experience Home Spa
Lady and many of the "Simple Solutions
for Self Care at Home".

I will be launching my new blog
which I think you will love because
I will be writing similar content
to what I have shared with you here
in the newsletter for the past 5 years!

Also, I suggest that you follow me
on Facebook and Twitter (although
I don't tweet as much as I Facebook -
interesting now how "Facebook" has
become a verb!)

And there will be more ways at different
levels that you can access time with me.

Don't forget - right now you can jump
in on Home Spa Lady's Inner Circle
to have the information that you love
