DIY Spa At Home - Turning Your Washroom Into A Spa With Bath And Body Lotions & Spa Recipes Females, the weather outside is frightful and your mood might not be so delightful after a long day working, dealing with children and then getting ready for the holidays. PTA bake sale? Ugh. Mother-in-law on the phone? We'll be right there. Deep breath. There's no time (and perhaps no funds) to hurry to a local spa for a nice soaking bath and scrub. That doesn't mean you don't get the R&R necessary to de-stress your life. How about bringing home spa treatments with you for your holidays. Designing a Bathroom Home Spa on a Budget You can renovate your washroom into a five star spa with merely one member: YOU. Here are a few of my favorite tips on how you can "get away" and feel good with spa facilities never leaving your house. - Design your home spa to mold your preferred spa. If you like the fact that they offer water out of crystal glasses then buy a gorgeous goblet for your bathroom. Pay out for that fluffy robe and have attractive containers to store your home spa tools. Hide a few gorgeous candles that only come out for spa night and special towels that you only use for these special times. Buy a tiny boom box and have calming music ready, try Soundings of the Planet-Healing Music. "Borrow" a do not disturb board from a hotel visit or make one to hang outside the door. It's a way to telling your family that you've checked out for the next half hour! - Do you love how before any treatment at spa there is always a fast scrub. You may design a quick DIY home body scrub that's as good as any anti-aging skin care products by trying the following: Buy a bag of Kosher salt and your favorite essential oil like lavender or rose. Mix a teaspoon of oil to 12 cup of salt and mix until you have a loose paste. Don't mash the salt crumbs. Keep this mixture in a plastic bowl near your shower or bath. By the way, skip the sugar scrubs. The granules are much smaller and less efficient. Personally , I like Nantucket Natural Oils for their concentrated purity. Try mixing floras, including rose petals to this salt mix. Now, just use a cloth or a loofah and scrub your body from head to toe. It's natural, cheap and you will feel like silk. BEAUTY INSIDER.
