While we all can’t go running to the spa every time we could use a little self-care, there are some treatments you can do at home to give you the feeling of being at the spa, but without the price tag.

Why not try one or all of these relaxing “spa” treatments:

Lemon Water

Make yourself a pitcher of lemon water with fresh mint to treat your senses.

Music

Put on your favourite tunes. This might be something calm and relaxing, or it might be that album from high school that you secretly love.

Candles

Candles! Why not? Light a few in your bathroom for your bath. The light of candles is naturally calming.

Foot Soak

A calming foot soak is great before that mani/Pedi. Did you know it is as easy as pouring warm water into a bowl with Epsom salt, olive oil, and your favourite sensual oil?

Mani/Pedi

Pamper yourself with a fresh coat of polish on your fingers and toes! Plan ahead and buy yourself a new colour.

Mask

Create a natural DIY mask to smooth and soften your skin. There are some wonderful recipes to try on the internet. Here is one of my favourite home face masks. It can be used on all skin types but is especially good for dry skin.

Guacamole Mask

Simply mash 1/2 of a ripe avocado with 2 tablespoons of honey and apply to the face.

Let sit for twenty or more minutes and ensure that you rinse well.

How do you relax at home?

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

Facebook Support Group

A Facebook group set up to support those living with Autoimmune Diseases or are living gluten-free, dairy-free life.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
