New Trend: Spa Parties

from 13 WHAM

Not everybody wants food and wine at their home parties, some people are choosing spa parties instead.

It used to be when Christie Kraft invited her friends and colleagues over, they indulged in party food, decadent desserts, and fine wine. But, now you'll find them serving up good skin care and relaxation--one of the hottest trends in home parties.

Kraft, a BeautiControl consultant, said, “It's your chance to escape from the daily grind and get a full facial, foot treatment, hand treatment, and the best part is probably the relaxation.” The same company that perfected Tupperware and color analysis decades ago, now trains consultants such as Kraft in skin-care spas.

Given the weather lately, the BeautiControl products are a big hit. “Especially for hands and feet, because that's when peoples hands start to get dry, cracked and bleeding,” she said. The goal however isn't just to get you to use skin-care products. It's to get you pamper yourself just 20 minutes a day.

The best part--when you leave--you don't have to work anything off at the gym.
