Find a Mary Kay consultant in your area and have them do a spa party in your home and invite some friends.

1) Give yourself a facial, manicure pedicure (even if you don't apply polish). You can also deep condition your hair and/or whiten your teeth w/ an at home product.

One good homemade mask recipe:
1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 1tbsp. honey a bit of ground oatmeal. Apply a layer leave it on for 10 mins. Rinse off w/ tepid water.

Yogurt – loosens dead skin cells
Honey – humectant w/ anti-bacterial properties
Oatmeal – optional; soothes helps remove dry skin

Face mask recipe for oily skin: crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water or aloe to make mask.

For combination/oily skin: apply thin layer of plain milk of magnesia. Let dry for 15 minutes or so. Rinse w/ tepid water face cloth. This helps tighten pores get rid of excess oil.

You can make a paste of baking soda water to make a face scrub. Be sure to rub it GENTLY over your face to remove dead, flaky skin.

Here's a link for more skin hair treatments using avocado:

For pedicure, you can add 2 cups of whole milk to the soaking basin. The milk fat will moisturize the lactic acid will help slough off dead skin.

DIY manicure pedicure:

You can make a homemade skin scrub by mixing olive oil or baby oil w/ sugar or salt to make a paste. Be sure to rinse well – esp. if you use it on your feet!

2) Set up your favorite songs on your I-Pod or CD players. Have your favorite movies on hand.

3) Make yourself some healthy treats – like herbal iced tea, sparkling water, a fresh salad, your favorite fruits cut up w/ vanilla yogurt for dipping. You can also chill some water add orange, lemon cucumber slices for flavor. Mint works well too.

4) Make sure your place is tidy. Get yourself some fresh flowers or light a few candles. Wear your favorite comfy clothes. Have fresh towels your favorite body products ready in the bathroom.

5) Turn off your cell phone, land line – let calls go to voice mail. Stay off the computer. Avoid news channels.

Here's a mini-pedicure idea, I do it at home often:

1. I plug the bathtub drain when I shower, so my feet get a 10-20 minute soak.

2. Sitting on the edge of the tub, I scrub off the dead skin with a pumice stone.

3. I wash and rinse my feet and then dry them.

4. I push back my cuticles with a cuticle stick, and scrape them off (some people trim them).

5. I trim, file and buff my nails (I use the nail file on the tops of my big toes to smooth them and prep them for polish).

6. I keep clear polish on my toes all the time, and paint them with a colour for special occasions.

7. Wait until after you apply nail polish to moisturise, otherwise the nail polish won't stick. I do this about twice a week, and it really doesn't take very long, maybe an extra 10 minutes compared to 45 for a regular pedicure.

Sometimes I put a bunch of moisturiser on and put a pair of old socks over my feet to let them 'cook' in the moisturiser a bit.
