Being alone on New Year's Eve doesn't have to be so bad. As a matter of fact, it can be a wonderful thing. New Years Eve can be the perfect opportunity to renew yourself and get ready for the coming year. Here are some Party Package ideas for one:

• Decide to approach it as an evening of self-care
• Turn it into a ritual to let go of the old and bring in the new.
• Center the evening around your bath and bedroom.
• Diffuse the essential oil "Transformation - (see below).
• Buy a pretty journal in which to write reflections and projections
• Order from your favorite Chinese or Sushi restaurant
• Have a special champagne flute to drink either sparkling apple cider or champagne
• Do a dry brush body scrub to exfoliate the skin (let go of the old)
• Take a lavender bath and play soft gentle music as you visualize the new abundant year
• Use your favorite body lotion on damp skin after your bath
• Call in and visualize your new resolutions as you dowse yourself with lovely lotion and your favorite essential oils (shout them out loud - no one will hear you)
• Wear a comfortable and pretty lounge outfit - silk or satin
• Make your own maraca for when the clock strikes 12 and dance around your bedroom (To make a maraca: you need 2 paper plates, dried beans and tape. Fill one plate with a handful of dried beans, place the other plate on top, face down and tape together - making sure you seal all the way around).
• Make an edible necklace out of licorice (read about the health benefits of licorice - and order gluten-free licorice
• Watch one of these movies and munch on your necklace:
  • Little Miss Sunshine
  • The Wedding Planner
  • Overboard
  • Baby Boomer
  • Liar Liar
  • My Best Friend's Wedding
  • Dante's Peak
  • Volcano
  • The Beautician and the Beast
• Call your favorite people and leave loving messages on their voicemails
• Call yourself and leave a loving message on your voicemail
