Spa Party of the Month: Slumdog Slumber Party

Over the past few weeks since I've started blogging I've introduced several ongoing blog features including K.I.S.S. & Tweet of the Week. Finally, I'm unveiling my signature feature the Spa Party of the Month! Each month I'll write a three part series based on one theme covering everything from decor and food, to types of spa treatments and suggested products. I'm so excited about this feature b/c I have so many different themes up my sleeve ranging from kids themes to adult; ladies only to couples and family events. Every once in a while I'll feature a party that we offer through Hennergy Hand & Foot Spa, and to kick it off I'll do just that.



This year Slumdog Millionaire took home 8 Oscars including Best Picture, and was a crowd favorite. The movie lends itself to a great party because of the ability to tie in cultural elements, a game night and a movie night all rolled into one.



Here is the description of our Slumdog Slumber Party Package:

This fun party package is the perfect combination of spa party, game night & movie night and will surely be nominated for party of the year! Girls will wait for their treatments by testing their smarts, and competing for fabulous prizes in the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire DVD game. The Millionaire Minicure treatments will include: cleansing of the nails, exfoliation with ME! Gotta Have It Pomegranate Shower Sherbet®, pomegranate infused hot towel wraps, hand massages, polish, and an ornate henna design extending up the forearm. Then girls will settle in for Movie Night featuring the 2008 Movie of the Year Slumdog Millionaire and one of our Bollywood faves Bride & Prejudice starring Aishwarya Rai. In the morning girls can kick off the day with a Bollyrobics dance workout DVD. (ages parents discretion due to movie ratings)

Since the movie is based in India, there are so many cultural elements that can be tied in to make this party truly special; including henna of course! If you aren't in our area, you can use the Henna Page's Artist Directory to find a henna artist near you; or if you think your guests are up to the challenge order premixed henna cones and take turns drawing designs on one another. Some henna/mehndi artists are also experienced in eyebrow threading which is inexpensive, quick, and easier on sensitive skin than most other methods of eyebrow shaping.



Another simple treatment that can be easily incorporated into your own Slumdog themed Spajama party is Indian head massage. Guests can take turns giving and receiving these by following the steps in this How Tute, optionally oils can be used to supplement this treatment such as coconut, sesame, almond or your favorite hair oil.

One of the advantages to hosting a slumber spa party is the treatments can be broken upover the course of two days so there is plenty of time for both spa treatments and other activities. A treatment that would be appropriate for the morning is facials, try the Lush Facial Kit or Bridal Ubtan from Henna Sooq.

In the next blog post I'll cover food ideas for the Slumdog Slumber Party theme.
