In this harried world in which we live, where time is so precious, every once in a while you need to indulge yourself! Pamper yourself by creating a spa environment at home. You are worth every moment!
Here are some tips to creating a luxurious spa adventure without ever leaving the comfort of your own home. No costs, no hassles.
- Shut your bedroom or bathroom door. Better yet, if you have young children, ask an older sibling, your husband or a friend to give you a half hour for yourself.
- Light some of your favorite scented candles while the bath is running.
- Add some spa fizzle or scented oils to your bath. Mint, eucalyptus, hibiscus and gardenia are especially soothing.
- Lay out some fluffy towels and a favorite robe by the tub.
- Play favorite, soothing music to help you relax.
- Prepare a favorite tea or juice to have on hand to sip during or after your spa experience.
- Have sliced apples, grapes, strawberries or dried fruits and nuts close at hand to munch on while or after you soak.
- Before you slip into oblivion, collect your favorite shampoo, soap and body lotions where you can easily reach them.
- Use a spa pillow to cushion your head if you want to truly relax.
If you don't have some of these things on hand, now you can make a list to give to family and friends for birthday or Christmas gifts ideas! Go on, relax, you're worth it!
