Need recipes for a "spa night"

I like cucumber sandwiches (small pieces of rye bread, spread with a mixture of dill weed, light sour cream, plain greek yogurt, topped with a cucumber slice, salted and peppered).

Serve baby bell wedges with yummy low cal crackers and grapes.

Chocolate dipped strawberries.

Ricotta stuffed grape tomatoes.

Crab stuffed mushrooms.

You can't go wrong with mixed nuts.

cucumber sandwiches

Whole wheat bread (crusts removed)
Low fat or fat free cream cheese
Juice of 1-2 lemon
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Fresh thinly sliced cucumber
Fresh dill

Remove crust from bread
Cream together the cream cheese and lemon and zest until easily spreadable (use milk if needed to thin it). Spread over the bread
Slice bread into quarters (little points/triangles)
Arrange thinly sliced cucumber over the small sandwiches.

Serve open face with a little fresh dill for garnish.

is it a mary kay party? cause i'm a mary kay lady and they do those all the time. guessing avon and the rest do as well. usually we like you to keep it simple as this lets the guests pay attention to the products and with facials and foot stuff going on it may get a little hectic if the foods take too much time or attention and that cuts into your ability to earn the most free products if that's your intention in hosting the event.

the only advice I'd give if that's the case is keep it light during the event, with a filling meal as a parting favor if you really feel you are pulling people away from their dinner hour. i once did school lunches for a birthday "party favor" for a kid's 5th birthday in brown bags with a simple sandwich/apple/and paper fortune teller because i knew people were driving far and the event had to be shortened for everyones commute time so only activities & b-day cake could take place during the party. for a "spa night" theme you could do a spa "wrap" sandwich with cucumber and cream cheese maybe a deli meat if you want in a cool green wrap tortilla and then some crunchy veggie sides all in a cuter printed version of the paper sack (michaels) "to go" for after the pampering. and a bottle of fancy something like flavored pelligrino, or sofia champagne in a can (google it) even like a naked juice or something would be cool healthy and satisfying.

that being said I see no reason you could not satisfy any starving person on the spot with simple grabby finger foods just like the spas have. Dried fruits tray, bowls of nuts, fresh whole fruit tower, tea service, water with sliced cucumbers and vamonos back to the pampering.

in our thing, we tell people only "light refreshments" are really necessary (crackers & cheese really OR cookies & fruit, like real light) cause let's be honest the economy is still bad. but if you are one of those hostesses who likes to be generous these are some ways you can still do that. good luck it sounds like fun.:flowerforyou:

- Skinnified Chocolate Fondue with fruit kebab dippers and mini marshmallows. Use whichever fruit you like (though would work very well with banana chunks, strawberries, pineapple and destoned cherries):
