3. AND YOUR NEEDS: And while you're doing nothing -- which none of us does enough of - you may dream of catching up on some sleep. But if, instead, visions of work piling up in your office are keeping you awake at night, treat youself to the Elizabeth W Twilight Kit ($75 www.elizabethw.com), which includes a lavender eye pillow, a beautiful silk and linen aromatherapy sachet to tuck underneath your pillow, and a CD of classical noctures by Debussy and Ravel. If that doesn't help you catch those zzzzzzs, I don't know what will! In the meantime, to take down the puffiness and lighten those dark circles under the eyes, indulge in Skin by Monica Renew Eye Serum ($37, www.skinbymonica.com).  The natural product line was created by L.A. - based model/actress Monica Olsen during her pregnancy.

And if you are lucky enough to squeeze in a hotel stay for business or pleasure, hop on board the latest trend in the hotel world: in-room spa treatments. When I started at the Palomer Hotel in Los Angeles (www.hotelpalomar-lawestwood.com), beautiful, brand-new member of the luxurious Kimpton hotel group, I treated myself to an in-room massage. It was one of the best splurges I've ever made. And believe me, I do know how to splurge!
