Home Spa Day

All you girls out there, who need a good relaxing evening either by yourself or with your girl friends, listen up! You don’t need lots of money to have a spa day! You can have one at home, and here are a few idea’s to make your night of relaxation a great one.

First get your PJs, some board games, a girly movie or even just the remote for the night. Now first thing to do for yourself is have a nice long bath; this isn’t your regular girly bubbly bath with salts and smelly bubbles, this is a real spa aromatherapy bath. You can find real aromatherapy oils at an aromatherapy store or sometimes even a health food store, the best to get is lavender because it’s calming.

Use oil as directed in a nice hot bath and light some candles around the room, make sure these are either scented to match the bath oil or unscented is better, it’s never good to overwhelm your nose.

Ok, so relax in your bath and listen to some nice calming music, after your bath dry off and leave the clean up for later. Put on your favorite PJs and start your next spa experience. Get a big tub of hot water and put it in front of the couch, you can use oils again or bath salts or even some special foot lotions to put in the water, you can find these again at health stores or grocery store.

Get a facemask; there are many different kinds such as peel-off, wash-off, deep cleansing, mud masks, guava and so many more, find one that suits your skin and that you leave on, not wash off right away. Now use facemask as directed and with your mask on, place your feet in the prepared water tub and relax on the couch, this would be a great time to enjoy your girly movie and some nice snacks. The best spa snack is popcorn, it doesn’t crumble like chips, it’s a little healthier and there’s not a lot of preparation.

Ok, remove the face mask as directed and empty the tub, leave the washing for later, this is your spa time! Now dry off the feet and get your nail polish out, again TV or a movie time is perfect here, paint your toes and fingers your favorite color and let them dry while you watch your favorite program. If you’re in a group this is a fun time to chat and gossip and paint each other’s toe nails.

Now that the facials and mani/pedis are done, it’s time to relax, get into your warm bed or on the couch if you still have TV to watch, and relax in for a comfy snooze. If you have access to a hot tub or Jacuzzi you’re in luck but for everyone else here is a great plan for your home spa party, enjoy!
