What Would Be Perfect For A Spa Day At Home?

1. Pick a good day that no one is going to be home. A day that you are free all day.


2. Sleep in. Wake up in and have a yogurt and some fruit for breakfast...something light. Stay in your pajamas.


3. First is the mask. Sit in a reclining chair and play some of your favorite music. Apply a mud mask and some cucumbers to your eyes. Make sure your hair is pulled back with a headband.


4. Now its bathtime. Draw a warm bubble bath. Light some lavender scented candles for a relaxed atmoshpere. Since you have candles turn off the lights. Soothe in the bath for 30 minutes to an hour.


5. When you get out lather your entire body with some lavender scented or aloe lotion to sooth and moisturize you skin.


6. Have some lunch, a sandwich or soup.


7. Sit down on the couch and read a book for about 30 minutes to an hour and just relax. I recommend the a book by Luanne Rice.


8. Give yourself a manicure and a pedicure to make you look gorgeous.


9. Do some yoga to find your inner peace and clear your mind. Do for about 15 minutes to an hour.


10. Do some breathing excersises or meditation to calm your soul. Do for 15 minutes to an hour.


11. Sit down make some popcorn and watch a chick flick movie. I recommend Just Like Heaven, The Lakehouse, The Notebook, When Harry Met Sally, The Prince and Me, Before Sunrise, or Dirty Dancing.


12. Put on some jams and dance around the house in your underwear. Dance anywhere between 15 minutes to and hour.


13. Take another bath.


14. When your husband comes home, have him cook dinner, and give you a massage.


15. Go to bed by 10.

Sugar scrub! Use regular table sugar, a light oil (canola is inexpensive, easy to find, and doesn't stain sheets/towels) and mix just enough oil into the sugar to be a pasty consistency - like pretty wet sand. Add a drop or two of your favorite essential or fragrance oil if you'd like. Just take a little handful and GENTLY! scrub whatever area needs a little attention - soften your hands, elbows, crusty knees, your heels... I especially like to sit in the tub and exfoliate before shaving. Leave the oil on your legs to shave (you'll just have to rinse the razor frequently to get the sugar crystals out of your way) - you have never been so smooth in your life! Don't wash the oil off with soap, just rinse with water. That way the oil (which will sink into your skin in a few minutes) continues to keep your skin soft and silky. Just be VERY careful getting out of the shower or tub, as it will be slippery!





Hope you have a fun spa day!What Would Be Perfect For A Spa Day At Home?
Me and my friends have spa days all the time!! its so relaxing....





Heres the some of the stuff we do....


(its cheep and fun)





Well insted of using a face mask we use shuger and water.


( mix the two of them)





Then we use tea bags on our eyes Insted of q-cumbers


(anyone of them works)


(get the tea bags wet befor putting over eyes)





We soak or feet in warm salt water....


(put hot water into the tub , or anything, and put like 1/2 a cup of salt into it)





then we painted our nails, did our hair and makeup, took pictures, and went to show off our new look!!!





have funn.. and its always better with friends!!
first, grind up some almonds (you can also put them in a ziplock and pound on them with a meat cleaver thing. it's fun). mix the powder with a little water, and work gently over face for a scrub. rinse!





then, seperate an egg yolk and egg white.





use the egg white, and mix a little lemon/lime juice with it. use it as a mask...leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off. use either cucumber slices or cooled tea bags (chamomile is great!) to reduce puffy eyes, and make them sparkle!





use the egg yolk, by adding some olive oil and heating it in the microwave for 3 SECONDS ONLY! if any longer, the egg will actually cook. apply to damp hair and put in a shower cap...leave in for 15 minutes...good to do while using mask. rinse THROUGHLY and shampoo after.





then, cut a cucumber slice in half and swipe over face as a refreshing toner. follow with you're usual moisturizer.





for hands.


first, soak them in lemon juice (make sure you don't have cuts) this will whiten fingernails and make them strong.


cut/file/buff them afterwards.





then, pour some sugar on your hands (over the sink!) and rub it all over...rinse it off. then, rub hands with olive oil and stick in plastic bags and wrap in hot towels...wait for 7 minutes and rinse off..they will be SMOOTH!!





polish them with either clear polish, or another color. (sheer is always good, but red/orange/black/purple is in now)





okay, now rub salt mixed with olive oil over your feet...rinse off. soak them in a mixture of water, orange juice, and pineapple/papaya chunks..the fruit acid eats away dead cells.





then, do the same thing (olive oil, ziplock thingie) with your feet...





YAY! you're done!





you can also use the salt foot rub as a body scrub too!
get friends together, make masks, do mani-pedis, buy those foot scrubs , exfolioate, eat chocolate covered strawberries!!
