Spa Index Media, LLC Teams With Mood-Lites: Light Bulbs for Your Lifestyle, to Sponsor Giveaway

Free Mood-Lites to be given away to newsletter subscribers; a portion of sales proceeds of innovative new lighting product donated to non-profit organization to research depression

(PRWEB) February 12, 2005 -- Spa Index Media, LLC, announced today that it has partnered with Mood-Lites, a new category of lighting in the $2.5 billion dollar U.S. lighting market place, in order to bring exposure to a new and useful tool for the spa and salon environment.

Kathryn Goetzke White, President, CEO and Founder of Mood-Lites, Light Bulbs for Your Lifestyle, oversees sales, marketing and operations for her new product and devotes her time to philanthropic causes, including forming the non-profit International Foundation for Research and Education on Depression.

Goetzke has studied the relationship between color therapy and wellness and used her expertise to develop a product which effect positive change in mood, environment and human response.

Mood-Lites, Light Bulbs for Your Lifestyle include colored bulbs designed to create unique space and light with "Happy" (yellow), "Tranquility" (deep blue), "Renewal" (green), "Energy" (orange), "Passion" (red), "Serenity" (light blue) and "Creativity" (purple).

Kristina Fitzhugh, managing editor of Spa Index Media, its spa directory website at SpaIndex.Com and its professional spa industry website at SpaWire.Com, sees a relationship between color therapy and spa therapy.

"Like aromatherapy, color therapy has quickly established itself as a component in creating a positive and enriching environment" Fitzhugh said. "Just as music, scent, and touch will bring about a feeling of wellness in a spa environment, the right color will add one more therapeutic component."

Fitzhugh added "We've visited spas and therapeutic bathhouses where a guest may select a treatment room based on the color of glass in the stained glass windows -- which in turn filter colored light into the room. We see Mood-Lites as a simple, cost-effective and portable method for creating the same effect."

"I cant think of a better way to promote my Mood-Lites than with an organization that encourages holistic health and balanced wellness" said Goetzke White. "My Mood-Lites are intended to inspire people to create a new kind of energy in environments, and I cant think of a better product for spas than our Serenity or Renewal bulbs. Spa Index Media, LLC, does a fabulous job of connecting all of us - the people in the industry that want to create a better spa environment, and those of us with the tools needed to do so."

As a result, and to help share the light, Mood-Lites and Spa Index Media will sponsor a complimentary giveaway of twenty-five (25) Mood-Lites to be distributed to readers of Spa Index News, a popular monthly spa lifestyle ezine, and SpaWire, a spa industry news digest, both published and distributed by Spa Index Media.

The February 14 issue of Spa Index News will carry a banner advertisement for Mood-Lites. Registered subscribers to the newsletter will be invited to click through and tour the Mood-Lites website in order to be eligible for a drawing to win one of twenty-five complimentary Mood-Lites. The drawing will take place on March 14, 2005. Details may be found on the SpaIndex.com website.

"We're happy to help Kathryn and Mood-Lites spread a little colored light in dark corners" Fitzhugh concluded. "Particularly when we know a portion of all sales proceeds are donated to a worthy cause."

Mood-Lites CEO Kathryn Goetzke White donates a portion of proceeds from the sale of Mood-Lites to iFred!, the International Foundation for Research and Education on Depression.
