Spa days are one of the best self-care-related things we can do for ourselves. Sometimes, we just really need to unwind and just forget anything and everything that’s bothering us. While visiting the spa itself can run you up a few hundred dollars for a couple of hours, this same relaxing experience can be done at home too. These are some fabulous tips for creating your very own spa day to relieve yourself.
Begin by setting the stage
Think about what a relaxing spa has, what are some of the qualities? They usually have dim lights, soft relaxing music, and zero interruptions. If you have people living in your home such as your family, try to shoo them away if possible. If you can’t set some boundaries, you’ll be in the bathroom alone for a bit for some “me time”. Do not feel guilty about this, you’re not neglecting anyone or anything. If anything, if you don’t give yourself this well-deserved spa treatment you’ll be neglecting yourself. Gather your coziest robe, your plushest towel, slippers, burn some candles, and anything else to just allow yourself to relax.
Think about how you’d like to do your spa treatment
Unlike the standard spa where the treatment is a one-size-fits-all, you can do whatever you like for your own spa experience. This includes deep conditioning since your hair is brittle, but it can even include having a luxurious face mask on as well. Treat yourself to some delicious foods, you can go the healthy route with some cucumber and lemon water, or even take it a step further by making your favorite smoothie or juice. This can go as far as the scents you want in the bathroom, how many candles you’d like, and what order you’ll want everything in. Overall, since this is your own experience that tailors just to you, you can do however you’d like.
Give your hands and feet some love
Our hands and feet tend to get neglected. They’re the two most used body parts throughout the day, so chances are they need some extra attention. You’ll want to give yourself a mini pedicure and manicure. This is going to make your nails look so clean, orderly, and feel fresh. Be sure to look into the right creams to prevent cracked heels or rough hands. You can shop now for all of those items days before your spa day begins.
Just soak and don’t let care in the world bother you
Even if everything outside the bathroom door is going wrong, don’t let it get to you. Whatever is happening outside that door, it will be fine, you already stated that you’re going to relax. Even if the area surrounding you is just too loud, you can look into buying noise-canceling head headphones to block the sounds out. In general, just let yourself soak up, relax, and just don’t think about anything. You’ve earned this spa day, don’t let it go to waste. Embrace this because you’ve worked hard to have a day for yourself.
