The Spa Party
Aromatherapy here we come...create an atmosphere of serenity, relaxation, and pampering...even guys can get into this! Relaxing new age music or a classical guitar choice can set the mood, comfortable billowy pillowstuffed seating, soothing tea or cooling martinis, and a variety of spa treatments to give one another...who could ask for more? Here's the quicklist of key elements:

1. seating - floor seating is okay - so long as it is comfortable - or footstools could work too.
2. sound - music like Cusco, or Enigma are perfect - or for a hawaiian flair an instrumental slack key guitar record can set the right mood. Even the gals like Norah Jones or Michelle Branch can make good background noise.. or for the complete serenity - the sound of running water from a fountain or the breeze through a wind chine can set the quintessential spa.
3. treats - for your feets, your face, your nails and such - have a good variety of activities for treating each other to mani/pedi treatments, massages and relaxation...
4. smells - from the food like armenian sandwiches, fresh veggi platter, lavoche with hummus or cream cheese spreads and also the products and elixirs...
