When it comes to the word Spa, what are some words that pop in your mind? I can say for sure pampering, rejuvenating, relaxing, and tranquility are some of the word that comes right off of the top for me. These words are also what women looks for when it come to creating a spa atmosphere and this concept shouldn’t change when it comes to creating a basket either.

You want to make sure that when you are designing a basket that your basket has a nice even flow and that it’s not over crowded with the same items. In other words, you have to make sure your basket has a theme and make sure that your colors are the same as well. You want to make sure the scents are basically the same because you don’t want to mix Lavender and Chocolate in the same basket.

Here are list of items that should always have in your Spa Basket.

You should always have some type of cleaning or washing products. Just choose any one of these products:

· Body wash

· Bubble Bath

· Bath Salt

· Shower Gel

While you’re still in the bath or shower, it’s a good time to exfoliate the skin and you can choose any one or you don’t have to depending on your budget.

· Brown Sugar Scrubs

· Sea Salt Scrubs

· Sugar Scrubs

You want to moisturize and hydrate your skin once you’re out of the shower. You will need to have at least one or two of these pampering items in your basket:

· Body Cream

· Lotion

· Whipped Body Butter

· Body Oil

Also you can add any of these item to your basket as well:

· Hand cream

· Pedicure Cream

· Fragrance oil scent

To complete your basket it’s always a good idea to have at least two or three essential items in your Spa Basket:

· Body Brush

· Eye-mask

· Neck pillow

· Spa slippers

· Plush towel

· Pillar candles

· Potpourri/sachets

· CD of soothing or meditation music

· Chocolates

· Gift certificate for massage or facial

Then collects all your items and put them all in a nice basket filled with plenty of decorative shred lined on the bottom and around your items. You don’t have to use a basket; you can use any decorative boxes, bath caddy, or decorative gift bags.

So no matter what budget you are working with you can create a Spa Basket for any occasion.

7 Ways Women Can Use Their Passions to Start a Business
By AnnaLaura Brown

Starting a business as a woman can be challenging yet rewarding. Many women really struggle to decide how to get started making money with their own profitable business. By finding and embracing their passions women can succeed and thrive. Here are some ways to use your passions to get started with your own business.

1. Make a list of all of your passions, hobbies and interests. In order to get started with your business, you first need to have written down on paper all of the things that you enjoy doing and are passionate about. You will use this list to finalize your business plan and to brainstorm about your options.

2. Evaluate your list and write down notes about what you could possibly do with each passion to create a business. For example, if you enjoy crafts and sewing, you could teach classes about how to make your items or you could open a boutique in which to sell your creations.

3. Do some research. Go online and explore business options based on your list of passions. Take note of any interesting websites or any people you find who are already making money with the same thing. If possible take your research a step further and contact a few people who are already doing what you are considering doing. Attempt to find out as much as you can about what it takes to get started.

4. Survey your friends, family, neighbors and acquaintances. Ask them if you were to start a business based on a passion or two that you have chosen, would they support you? Do they have any advice for you?

5. Depending upon the money and materials needed, you may want to test your business idea by either creating samples of your product or by creating a simple website explaining your business, products and services. You want to avoid taking it too far without being committed to going into business so how much you do really depends upon the resources needed to do this. Show your website or samples to as many people as possible and get some feedback on how profitable you think your business will be.

6. Get started. Even if you are hesitant, once you have done your homework and there is reasonable evidence that your passion can be turned into a business, then it's time to take the plunge and just do it. Make sure to be official by getting a state business license and setting up a separate checking account. You also want business cards to be one of if not your first business purchase.

7. Go forward in your business with just as much passion as you have with the product or service you have chosen. Make sure that everyone you know is aware that you have started a business. Set aside blocks to time to work on your business and stay with it for the long-term. When you are passionate about what you are doing, you can be very successful as long as you are motivated and you are willing to do what it takes to succeed.

Using your passions to start and run a successful business as a woman will make your choice to become self-employed much easier. Take the time to find a way to learn how to turn your passions into money and you will be surprised at how much more profitable and pleasant your business will be.

How to Add Romance Back Into Your Relationship With 2 Easy Tips!
By Deanna Raymond

Is the romance missing? Do you want more passion? Do you crave more attention? Every relationship goes through ups and downs. But those that can navigate these times are the ones that will last. If you want more from your relationship...if you want to feel like you felt when you first got together... this is the start. Of course, there is more to it than this, but this where you need to begin to reignite the flame and re-spark the passion. And it begins with you. Yes, you.

I'm sure you are thinking "why me?" My partner is the one that is at fault. Well, that may be the case, but really it takes two to make a relationship and you can take the steps needed to pull you both out of this. OK, now that that is out of the way, and you've set your ego aside for a second try this...

Try talking to your partner about your needs. Out of so many couples I've talked to, you would be surprised at just how many times one person isn't aware that there is a problem. We all get busy. Jobs, life...it gets in the way. And sometimes just talking to your partner and telling them you need a bit more romance is all it takes. Try it!

Next tip is to consider setting up one night a week (or every other week if you are both really busy) to have a date night. This night is dedicated to just the two of you. Candlelight dinner, some mood music, time to just share with each other. This date night idea has helped more couples than I could begin to count.
