Creating Your Own Home Spa
Going to the spa is a definite luxury, and it is one that usually costs an arm and a leg, even for one hour. Think of all the money you could save if you can set up your own home, or an area in your home that you can set up to look and feel like your sanctuary of peace and beauty! It’s all about you…..
If you think you would benefit from a spa experience to beat the winter blues, but lack the resources to go to one, you can create a spa right at home. Set aside a time in the evening for your spa rest and relaxation. Start with aromatherapy to relax the senses. Try some of the candle oil diffuser sets as they last well and the aroma surrounds you. You can use a lavender scent for extra relaxation. Candles or potpourri simmer pots will work well for this purpose also.
Next, draw a wonderful warm relaxing bath and you can use bath salts with a soothing lavender aroma. The sea salts will soothe your skin and revitalize you. After your bath, fluff your softest, most plush towel to dry off with.
For the auditory senses, put on a CD with the sounds of nature from your favorite location. If you prefer, soft classical music will work well to enhance the relaxation experience.
After the bath, choose a body lotion to keep the moisture in your skin. Thymes Sleep Well body lotion uses a combination of rose oil an chamomile to chase away stress and moisturize your skin. You can even try a good cellulite treatment and give yourself a cellulite busting massage with some sort of cellulite cream like the one we recommend, to make your skin look toned and tightened, adding to the whole luxurious experience.
Next, wrap yourself in your most comfortable bathrobe so all of the stress of the day melts away. Remember to instruct all family members that this is your time with no interruptions. Setting aside time for a spa experience will refresh you and revive you. This is self care and not selfish at all. You will look and feel better more energetic the next day to devote yourself to your family and your work.
