Turn your home into a SPA - ON a budget!
Feeling stressed? Having trouble sleeping at night? I recommend trying to turn it in a little early and take 20 minutes to YOURSELF.
Here is some helpful tips:
1. Nothing says relaxation like soaking in a relaxing bath!
*add flower petals, cut citruses, coconut oil, or even a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
My essential oils:
To make the room really feel like a spa -- set the mood!
Dim the lights or just use candles. (some of my favorite candles)
Use a fluffy robe (I like this one in Steel Gray of course )
and set the mood with spa music.
2. Buff your skin!
This is a two-for one at home spa hack: stock up on pumice stones and dry brushes.
(I love this Dry Brush) But they also have amazing benefits for your skin!
*****Dry brushing in circular motions boosts blood flow, removes toxins, and can even reduce the appearance of cellulite!
3. Get steamy!
This is a great at home spa hack you can do
any night of the week!
Just run your shower as hot as possible
(with all the doors closed) for a few extra minutes
before getting in to create a steam room effect. This works best
in small bathrooms.
****If you want to up level this, you could tie
a bouquet of eucalyptus around your shower head to really bring
in the natural spa energy.
***If you really want to focus on your face, I recommend
investing in a facial steamer. I got this when quarantine
started when I could no longer get my bi-weekly facials I
decided to create my own. This has been a game-changer!
4. Face mask.
Who doesn't love a good face mask?
My current obsession... WHY I LOVE IT:

5. Use tennis balls for a DIY massage.
Kinks and sore muscles can dampen our moods and ruin our days. If your back or shoulders are screaming and making a racket, try laying down on your back and rolling out the knots by using tennis balls.
***Simply place the balls in target locations on your back, prop your head up with a pillow, and work out those painful areas by rolling over the balls. You will score some relief and love the way you feel afterwards.
I hope by now you're motivated to take care of yourself. I do this 1-2 per week my friends. Get your glow on and share your tips below!
