It's a BOO-TIFUL season to spa

The weather is turning cold here in Iowa.  Darn, it's been so beautiful.  The leaves dramatically changed over the weekend but today many are blown away from the 60 mph winds.  I always love this time of year.  As the nights get cooler the draw of SPA lures women to some time away just for me.
 Last weekend a few of us joined Platinum National Barbara Ward, Nationals Nancy Savely and Margaret Ward, as well as our regional VP Charla Gervers for a leadership retreat in Branson.  What a wonderful time.  Barbara chose different women to do makeovers on, talked about how to dress wearing the right colors and for your body types.  And in perfect BC style, a few of the guests were treated with a Chocolate Indulgence Spa.  Of course, they took the opportunity of Halloween being around the corner and asked us all to come to the spa in costume, so thanks to Julie Spaid's suggestion, we decided to be the cheetah girls.  I have to admit, I'm not really much of a Halloween girl, but we thoroughly enjoyed our costumes and had a wonderful time, as you can see. 
  It got me thinking that one of the best things we can do with our spa business is to just HAVE FUN.  Creativity doesn't have to come just from ourselves.  Network with the consultants around you and ask them what they're doing.  Julie even went to Walmart yesterday and purchased a blue pumpkin and is taking it to her spa tonight filled with treats for those who book.  Great idea!
