Take Yourself to the ‘Spa’
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!
