Do It Yourself Spa At Home - Turning Your Bathroom Into A Spa With Skin Care Products & Spa Menu

Ladies, the climate outside is unpleasant and your mood may not be so delightful after a long day working, dealing with kids 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 budget) to run out to a local spa for a pleasant soaking bath and scrub. That doesn't signify you don't get the R&R required to de-stress your life. How about bringing home spa treatments with you for your holidays.

Creating a Bathroom Home Spa on a Budget

You can renovate your bathroom into a five star spa with only one member: YOU. Below are some of my preferred tips on how you can "get away" and feel great with spa facilities never leaving your house.

- Design your home spa to model your favorite spa. If you like the reality that they provide water out of crystal glasses then purchase a gorgeous goblet for your bathroom. Invest in that fluffy robe and have attractive baskets to place your home spa tools. Hide several stunning candles which only come out for spa night and special towels that you only use for these special times. Buy a tiny boom box and have relaxing music ready, try Soundings of the Planet-Healing Music. "Borrow" a do not disturb sign from a hotel visit or create one to droop outside the door. It's a way to inform 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 can create a fast DIY home body scrub that's equivalent to any anti-aging skin care products by trying the subsequent: Buy a bag of Kosher salt and your favorite essential oil such as lavender or rose. Mix a teaspoon of oil to 12 cup of salt and mix until you have a loose paste. Don't crush the salt granules. Keep this mix in a plastic bowl next to your shower or bath. By the way, omit the sugar scrubs. The granules are much smaller and less effective. Personally , I like Nantucket Natural Oils for their concentrated purity. Try adding flowers, including rose petals to this salt mix. Now, simply use a cloth or a loofah and scrub your body from head to toe. It's natural, affordable and you will feel like silk.

BEAUTY INSIDER. As I travel around the world each week visiting different five-star spas, I'm always asked concerning the latest and greatest products. Below are several home spa suggestions this week:

I love Tara Spa Therapy Single Note Essential Oils. I love her balancing massage oil. The detox oil gently encourages your body to let go of toxins and also aids, promote lymphatic draining. The key is the vital oil mix, which comprises fennel, juniper, cypress, grapefruit, orange and black pepper for a little kick.

If you're not sure what bath to love then let me recommend Judith Jackson's Bath and Body Products Essence Sampler for only $23.50. This beautiful spa gifts set provides five aromatherapy blends of pure essences, so you might calm, refresh or lessen tension at home. I'm a big fan of her oils named Serenity and Tenderly.

All of this can be found at mySpaShop, Virtual Spa Products Boutique.
