Treat Yourself to a Luxurious Home Spa - Less Money, More Often!
from: Nicky PilkingtonA day at the spa - what a welcome release! However, most
individuals just dream about the soothing music and luxurious
spa treatments because they don't have the time or money to
indulge. That doesn't have to be the case, a bit of pampering
from time to time goes a long way to making you feel good about
yourself and ready to take on the day.
If you are at your wits end with work, the kids, the house or
just the hectic pace of life you can create your own mini home
spa tonight and re-create it as often as you need to. In fact,
having the ability to turn your bathroom into a spa for even
half an hour before you hit the sack will not only relax you but
can become a weekly indulgence without the cost or the time
involved in day spas.
GET READY, GET SET...
To really feel like you've been transported to a luxury spa it's
worth it to set the stage properly. Here are the six steps to
creating a mini home spa and how to enjoy it.
First, get rid of the toys! Or any other clutter in the tub.
Dump them in a bin and set them outside the bathroom door if you
have to, but don't try this with rubber frogs and superhero
washcloths lying around.
Second, have a big towel ready. Have several on hand if you're
trying any body wrap that you will need to wash off later.
Third, it's worth the little extra to invest in a plush, comfy
bathrobe and slippers. It's a one time expense to really feel
like you've gone to a spa.
Fourth, candles and a CD. Find something tranquil that suits the
mood you're going for. Are you looking for rejuvenation or
relaxation? Aromatherapy candles in scents like lavender for
relaxation or citrus for rejuvenation will intensify the effects
of your other treatments.
Fifth, face mask, exfoliation tool or scrub, Epsom salts and
essential oils. Whether you prefer to create your own products
from kitchen ingredients on hand, like bananas, honey, cucumber
or chocolate; or if you purchase a few samples from the drug
store, create a theme with your selections. A lavender oil in
your bath with a rich, moisturizing chocolate or mud mask will
feel extra indulgent. A peppermint bath with a cucumber mask
will refresh you like nothing else.
Sixth, time. Put aside at least 20 minutes to enjoy your mini
home spa. Fill the bath with hot water, turning on the shower
for additional steam, and place a few teaspoons of Epsom salts
along with several drops of your essential oil. Light the
candles and turn on the music. Wash your face with a warm face
cloth and apply the mask liberally. Unrobe and slip into your
bath; start with your exfoliating scrub or pumice and then let
yourself relax and enjoy all the sensations; smell, feel, sound.
When you're done, wash off the mask and moisturize from head to
toe. Complete the experience by wrapping yourself in the soft
robe and enjoying a cup of herbal tea selected to compliment
your spa experience. Choose peppermint or citrus tea for a
rejuvenating spa or a jasmine or chamomile tea for a relaxing
spa.
Creating a home spa is so easy and affordable you'll have no
excuse not to indulge as often as you wish!
