It's no secret that most people spend more time during the holidays focused on everyone but themselves...there are the gifts, the parties, the decorating, the baking.  By the time the New Year hits you're likely to be beyond overwhelmed, clear into exhaustion and possibly a prime candidate for a cold or flu.  

This year, we're reminded of an article dating back to 2006 by Body Ecology that talks about ways to combat and refocus to avoid the common pitfalls of the season.  Throughout the article, there are simple reminders like go to bed early, get enough sleep, adopt some relaxation techniques and create to do lists to free your mind.  There are also ideas on health and wellness that remind us all of the benefits of exercise, stretching, meditation, yoga and massage. 

Don't wait until you're worn out to begin taking care of yourself.  Visit The Homestead for more information on yoga classes (open to the public), spa and salon offerings.  All are relaxing and you'll enjoy the best service in a bustling resort environment.  Book a spa appointment for Friday, December 26 to Sunday, December 28, 2014 and receive 20% off.  Not to be used in combination with any other discounts or special offers.  For more information call 231.334.5445
