Busy schedule or not, you need to make time for you, spa day to the rescue! Visiting a parlor or massage center can be a bit heavy for your pockets and oh wait, what about those lazy days when you just don't want to get out of your house? A spa day at home is inexpensive, relaxing and super hassle free at the same time. I'm sharing with you guys some "At home spa tricks" you need to know to kick start your ultimate spa day at home! Let's get started!
~ Light up your scented candles!
The first thing you need to do is make sure your room is comfortable enough for you to unwind. Make sure it smells great, is not too warm or cold and not very untidy or clumsy. Here's what you can do:
I bought mine from FabIndia in the flavor "Layered ocean breeze" which makes me feel like I'm in a tropical paradise. You can find them at any home ware store and trust me, they smell heavenly and are unbelievingly sooting. You can also make on yourself, here's a link to see how > How to make your own scented candles
~ Make something for you to sip!
When we're talking about relaxing, how can we miss out on the hydrating part? Making a tasty, healthy and fun smoothie is definitely an essential. Here's an easy recipe:
> Strawberry and banana smoothie:
Ingridients:
1. 1 banana
2. 1 cup strawberries
3. 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt and milk
4. 2 teaspoons honey
5. A pinch of cinnamon
6. 1 cup ice
Method: Blend all the above ingredients in a blender and viola! Smoothie is ready!
~ Pamper your face!
After a tiring day, especially during the summer, your skin tends to get oily and dull. I'm going to share an easy DIY Mask recipe which anyone can try at home.
>Besan face pack:
Ingridients:
1. Gram flour/besan
2. Honey
Method: Mix gram flour and warm honey. Apply this paste to your face for 20 minutes. Wash it off thoroughly with cold water.
~ Condition your hair!
Conditioning your hair is extremely important especially during the summers. Studies claim that overnight conditioning of your hair can make your hair stronger. Conditioning your hair with warm coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of honey is probably the easiest and best way to pamper your hair.
~ Ex foliate your legs!
Dry legs are the worst nightmare for a girl. Smooth and soft legs make you feel like a goddess. I have for you guys a few tricks up my sleeves which you can try at home.
> Mix 1 and 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of coconut oil and juice of 1 lemon in a jar and apply it for silky smooth legs.
>You can also try this super easy sea salt scrub. All you need to do is mix 2 teaspoon of Vaseline jelly and 1 tea spoon sea salt. Rinse off with warm water and apply Vaseline jelly to moisturize and heal dry skin.
~ Unwind with homeopathic hot packs:
Here's how you can make one yourself!
> Stuff a pair of socks with rice and essential oils. Once you're done with stuffing, sew up the other end. Place it in a microwave for about a minute. Place it on your shoulders or back to reveal yourself from pains and aches!
~ Manicure!
While you're pampering your hair, feet and face you surely shouldn't miss out on your fingers and nails. A few essentials for an at home manicure are:
> Nail polish remover
> Cotton swabs
> Nail buffer
> Cuticle nipples and pusher
> Hand nail/hand moisturizer
> Base coat
> Nail polish
~ Make your own sauna shower!
After you're done with moisturizing, scrubbing and aplying masks, it is finally time to finish of with a hot sauna shower. Of course, I do not have a sauna and nor do you. Here's how you can turn your shower into a sauna:
> Make sure your doors and windows are shut. Cover up the area below your doors and windows of your bathroom with a heavy cloth to prevent entry of cool air.
> Turn on your hot water for about 15-20 minutes.
> Turn it off and enjoy a warm and relaxing sauna day at home!
> Make sure you finish of with a cold water bath to gradually lower your body temperature.
> Later you can fill up your tub with flowers and bath bombs for the perfect tumblr bath!
~ Binge time!
After this super relaxing spa session, it is time to change into a comfy jumper and fuzzy slippers. I prefer tying my hair up in a towel. Before I jump into my bed, there are a few things I do:
> Scent up my blanket: All you need to do to scent your blanket is put few drops of an essential oil on a thin cloth and place it into the washing machine with your blanket. After a few minutes, your blanket is going to smell heavenly!
> Watch all the seasons of your favorite tv sow or read a book!
> Have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate by your side but if you're more of a detoxification person a cup of green tea or lavender tea is a good choice too.
