DIY Spa At Home - Changing Your Toilet Into A Spa With Spa Gifts & Spa Recipes

Ladies, the weather outside is unpleasant and your mood might not be so nice after a long day working, dealing with family 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 nice soaking bath and scrub. That doesn't signify you don't get the R&R necessary to de-stress your life. How about bringing along home spa treatments with you for your holidays.

Crafting a Bathroom Home Spa on a Budget

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

- Design your home spa to model your favorite spa. If you like the fact that they provide water out of crystal glasses then buy a wonderful goblet for your bathroom. Spend in that fluffy robe and have attractive baskets to place your home spa tools. Hide a few stunning candles that merely come out for spa night and special towels that you only use for these special days. 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 make one to droop outside the door. It's a way to telling your family that you've signed out for the next half hour!

- Do you love how prior to any treatment at spa there is always a fast scrub. You can create a quick DIY home body scrub that's equivalent to any anti-aging skin care products by trying the following: Buy a bag of Kosher salt and your favored essential oil akin to 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 mixture in a plastic bowl next to your shower or bath. By the way, skip the sugar scrubs. The crumbs are much smaller and less effectual. Personally , I like Nantucket Natural Oils for their concentrated purity. Try adding flowers, including rose petals to this salt mix. Now, just 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 roam the world every week visiting diverse five-star spas, I'm always asked concerning the latest and greatest products. Here are several home spa recommendations this week:

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

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

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