SPA CUISINE
During a visit to a Spa or Retreat, it's easy to become addicted to healthful foods and beverages, but difficult to maintain the healthier eating style when you've returned home. Don't lose your momentum. Investigate gourmet or healthful "meals on wheels" programs in your area that are
designed to help you stick to your fitness goals. In Los Angeles, California, for instance, you'll find services that will deliver meals directly to you, enabling you to stick to The Zone, Atkins, Macrobiotic, Vegetarian and
Vegan, and other healthful eating plans. While this is a terrific
convenience for those of us who live in densely populated areas with a multitude of services to choose from, not of all of us have the same luxury. Fortunately, the popularity of home delivery healthy meal plans has spread across the country and is now online.
One such ONLINE service we've found is DINING BY DESIGN, INC. (http://www.diningbydesign.com) a nutrition and research-based, organic, gourmet food specialty company based in Lincoln, Nebraska founded by Karmyn Jones Clayton. Clayton, a nutritionist
who has designed the entire menu, holds degrees in Medical Technology and Nutritional Biochemistry, specializing in food science, public health nutrition, and clinical nutrition management. Karmyn's nutritional experience is vast, including over two decades of healthcare experience in
community-based nutrition and clinical diet therapy. Karmyn has conducted heart-healthy culinary workshops, developed individual nutrition programs, and formulated extensive dietary analyses throughout North America, Africa, and Europe. Dedicated to helping people achieve health and wellness through
nutrition, Karmyn continues to develop innovative ways to create plant-based meals that are healthy, satisfying, and enjoyable for even the most serious food gourmand. Over the years Karmyn has been featured on TV, radio, the Internet and in numerous print publications.
Karmyn personally caters to individuals with special dietary preferences, busy schedules, families to feed, and a desire to eat healthy, delicious, and affordable meals. All of the meals are prepared fresh, quick-chilled-frozen, and shipped to our customers coast-to-coast in re-usable microwave and
oven-ready containers. Order food online, for a day, a week, or a month and have it delivered to your home or office. All meals are plant-based, low-fat, cholesterol-free, dairy-free, egg-free, sugar-free, casein-free, low-sodium, low-calorie, DELICIOUS, and best of all, prepared by a team of

SPA AT HOME
CRANBERRY AND SAVORY ACNE INHIBITOR
Did you know the acidity in cranberries works as a mild astringent and toner? Did you know that the Greeks originally considered Savory to be an aphrodisiac? Cranberry and Savory posses antiseptic properties similar to those found in oregano and thyme, and help cleanse the skin of excess oils.
1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, crushed
1/2 cup whole fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup boiling water
Place dried savory in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to steep as tea for 15 minutes, then strain liquid and set aside. Place cranberries in a blender and puree. Strain the cranberry pulp and discard, reserving the juice. Combine the juice and savory liquid in a jar until ready for
use. Then, soak cotton pads with the infusion, swipe on your face in oily T-Zone areas, avoiding the eye area, and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water.
