Going to the spa doesn’t need to involve getting in your car, fighting traffic, or spending time away from your sanctuary. There are several ways to create a relaxing oasis without leaving your home. To give yourself a little TLC through some DIY, start by doing the following:
The perfect home spa day begins with setting the stage and tweaking the overall mood. Clear out your clutter, light a candle or plug in an aromatherapy diffuser, and dim the lighting.
Another part of perfecting a home spa day’s ambiance is finding the ideal music. While many people opt for something mellow, such as nature sounds or meditation music, you’re the deejay. From Adele to ZZ Top, choose whatever genre you find most relaxing.
There’s a reason no one goes to the spa in a power suit or heels: comfort is a catalyst for rejuvenation. So, pull out your fluffiest, comfiest robe, pull on your new socks, and rifle through your closet until you find your slippers. Wear whatever makes you feel calm and joyful. You don’t need to impress anyone but yourself at your home spa.
No spa is complete without a thirst-quenching or belly-warming drink. What you drink is up to you: you might opt for a wine spritzer, a mug of green tea, or an iced latte. Flavored water is a favorite among spa-goers. To create your own, check out some of these recipes.
Of course, you’ll also need to decide what to do during your spa time. Choose whatever activity you want, from aging treatments to an Epsom bath to painting your nails or coloring your hair. You might opt to do little more than meditate or curl up with a good book. As long as it’s relaxing, it’s fair game.
Between carpools and work meetings, many people think their schedules are too packed for a spa day. But a little do-it-yourself “me time” is designed to work for anyone. Try some of these ideas or create your own to make your home spa spectacular.
