An over-the-top spa experience might be the most appreciated, least-expected gift of the season. Even better if it comes with a pair of airline tickets and a hotel reservation. If you're thinking of ditching the digital shopping cart and instead opting for a day, or weekend of healthy decadence, here are some of the most excellent ways to splurge.

If you walk into a nail salon for a manicure between now and Valentine's Day, chances are the red bottles on the shelf — like velvet burgundy, sparkling cranberry, and bright candy apple — will jump out at you more than they ever do in the spring, summer or fall.

Between kisses under the mistletoe and that midnight kiss on New Year's Eve, it may come as no surprise that beauty experts claim lip injectables are on the rise as the holidays approach. Metro spoke with Dr. Norman Rowe, a board-certified plastic surgeon with Rowe Plastic Surgery who said he has seen a dramatic spike in lip injections this holiday season, a trend attributed to holiday parties, visits with friends and family, and Christmas card photos.

Kristen Haney writes: "I adjust into my submarine-esque chamber, ready but largely unsure of what to expect. Aside from a thorough briefing from the person monitoring my "dive," I've never even heard of this contraption, much less experienced it firsthand.
I settle onto the comfy blankets and pillows as we begin to 'descend' — and I embark on my first foray into hyperbaric oxygen therapy with Oakland's Holistic Hyperbarics."

The Huffington Report
Nadine was 20 the first time she got lip fillers and "fell in love" with the plumped result. "It was important for me to maintain the look," Nadine, now 27, tells HuffPost UK. The Londoner, who works in marketing for a big makeup brand, has had her lip injected every six months since. When she was 24, she added Botox to her beauty regimen to erase the "frown lines" she saw forming on her forehead. Her routine may sound expensive, but Nadine is not alone in her use of nonsurgical cosmetic treatments — or "tweakments".

 It's the most wonderful time of the year, but apparently, it's also the most stressful. Some of that stress is related to holiday expenses, but it's also a result of trying to make everything perfect. Roughly half of the respondents in recent survey by Yelp say holidays are the single most stressful time of the year. Whether hosting a dinner, a party, or having guests spend the night, respondents are anxious because they don't have time to clean in advance, worried that they don't have enough time to prepare everything, concerned about preparing the actual holiday meals, and not looking forward to cleaning up later.

Recently, I was telling a client about our Meaningful Alignment program when I had an "aha" moment. She listened intently and then observed that she appreciated the impetus of the program because it incorporated "inclusiveness." I had never really considered that by learning to understand the ways in which we communicate with one another, as well as our own unique communication "signatures", we could also bolster the inclusive nature of our relationships.

Lauren S. Brown, a contributor for MiddleWeb, writes: "I have never met a teacher who enjoyed grading. It's the worst part of the job: the repetitiveness, the sheer amount of it, the cringing when so many students misunderstand the same thing... Grading is unavoidable, but there are things we can do to avoid the cringing. When you grade, keep a notepad handy. As you see some of the same errors, over and over again, jot down notes about how to change things for next year."

Giving efficient feedback to the entire team, whether positive or negative, can be quite a challenge for any business leader, as they have to find the best way to frame and deliver the information to ensure it is acted upon in the future, while also keeping it impersonal enough to avoid any backlash. If successful, effective feedback can motivate the team to learn from its mistakes and do a better job in the future, as well as to become stronger and more united.
