Treat Yourself to a Natural Spa Day at Home
With all the stresses of our busy modern lifestyles, taking time out for a bit of pampering is more important than ever. Treating yourself to a spa day can help you relax, stay grounded, and feel refreshed. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend money on expensive spa treatments to achieve all these benefits. With our range of natural products, you can create a luxurious retreat right in your own home.
Here is how to create your own boutique spa treatments in the comfort of home.
Set a Spa-like mood
Start by creating a soothing space by burning candles, and incense, or using your aromatherapy diffuser. This will help create a relaxing environment where you can decompress and unwind. Put on your favorite music playlist and start to relax.
Take an Aromatherapy Bath
Next take a long, indulgent bath with a few drops of essential oil added to the water. We recommend Lavender as it has has incredible anti-anxiety properties and can also help release any tension you feel in your muscles. For an easy fix try our liquid soaps which contain pure essential oils.
Care For Your Skin and Hair
After your bath, wrap yourself in a comfortable robe and give yourself a spa-like facial. Start with our Green Leaf Face Scrub to remove the buildup of dead skin cells, oils, and dirt which will help brighten your skin. Next apply our Temu-Temu Face Mask to absorb toxins and replenish your skin naturally.
If you are feeling creative download our free e-guide and learn how to make your own face scrubs and masks by following the easy DIY recipes inside.
While you wait for your face mask to dry, take some time to replenish your hair with our nourishing hair oil. Add a few drops to your scalp and work the oil through to the tops of your hair. Take your time.
Hydrate your skin with our indulgent Body Butters. Each of our Body Butters work as both a skin moisturizer and moisturizing mask, so go ahead and use a thick layer to make sure your skin is healthy and glowing.
Take a Few More Moments
Finally, spa retreats are not just about taking care of your body, they are also about taking care of your mind and spirit. Once you have pampered yourself, take some time out to meditate, do a gentle yoga workout, or simply go for a walk.
Taking time out for yourself with a spa day can help release tension, boost your spirit and improve your mind leaving you feeling renewed and more focused; so don’t feel like your are being lazy or selfish for taking this time out to invest in yourself. The people around you, your work and your hobbies will all benefit from the new you too.

Oddly, I find the best way for me to relax is to first go for a hard run (or form of cardio), then take a shower/bath, and then induldge in a cold smoothie or milkshake while stretched out on the couch.

One thing I do is spend some time outdoors no matter what the weather. It usually involves walking or playing with the dog. He is a bling senior, and spending time with him lets me see the joy in life. Afterwards, I come in and will relax in the winter months oftentimes it involves a warm bath to warm up.

This is good to relax your eyes as well as do this just prior to removing eye makeup … I take a sock (clean of course, lol) fill partway with rice, tie know in end. Please in microwave (I do about 20 seconds and my microwave is 1100 watts), check for how hot it is, if nice and warm — lay down and place rice sock over your eyes. The rice retains moisture and heat , very relaxing.
We do this to treat tight muscles and other injuries. Rice in a sock makes an excellent, reusable heat-pad.
You can also put in it the refrigerator to work as a cold-pad too!

Spa day at home, sounds soothing already
I’d add a foot bath and massage to your spa day!

I need a spa day!
This is awesome, great prize …Thank you
Thank you for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your next write ups thanks once again.
I read when I want to relax. Nothing like a good book, with essential oils around to take you away to another world.
This should be scheduled to prevent putting it off. Cell phones should be turned off! I often diffuse oil to create a pleasant atmosphere even while I’m doing chores. I’m realizing how important it is to take care of myself, so today I scheduled a float in a salt water, sensory deprivation tank. It will relax me and I will come home to my lavender scented house.
Setting this up for a busy parent would be such a nice gift. Doing it at home saves a bundle and they don’t have to travel to enjoy.
I long for that day where I can go to the spa. It at least melts away the stress.
Awesome blog post.Thanks Again.
I value the post.Really thank you! Much obliged.
