If you didn’t know this by now, I am alllllll about doing things in the comfort of my own home. It’s not that I don’t like going out for a spa day (I totally do!) but more than once a month seems a little too indulgent. Plus, I love doing nice things for my pals. This is actually a super simple girls day that you can put together even on the fly!
Today I am showing you how you can turn your backyard or house into a luxurious spa for a fraction of the cost! Plus, you’ll no longer have to whisper to each other while getting massages or in the sauna. Put on a robe and some slippers, pump up some spa music and give yourself the afternoon that you deserve, sister!
Spa Music
I am ALL about setting the mood at any party or gathering! This time I kept it simple with some classic spa music and a few aroma candles. For the ultimate mood booster be sure to supply robes for yourself and your girlfriends.
Facials & Masks
It wouldn’t be a spa day without a proper facial! I love to break out my Conair True Glow Warm Steam Facial machine! This at home treatment machine makes me feel like I’ve just gotten a salon style facial! Be sure to cleanse first, then steam, exfoliate, repair and moisturize. For the repair part of a facial I love breaking out a fun clay mask and cucumbers for my eyes. An at home spa day isn’t complete without a face mask!
Sugar Scrubs
Sugar scrubs are my favorite part of any spa treatment! These sugar scrubs are all natural, easy to make and super affordable. Did I mention your skin will be so silk soft afterwards?! Follow this easy formula to make your own customizable scrub!
- 2 Parts sugar (white, brown, coconut, you choose!)
- 1 Part oil (coconut, olive, you name it!)
- 1 Teaspoon of essential oils (I love lavender!)
- 2 Teaspoons of vitamin E oil for extra softness
Detox Water + Healthy Snacks
A spa day for me also feels like a cleanse. I like to nibble on fresh fruit and hydrate with plenty of fancy water. To make authentic spa water just infuse fresh water with plenty of fruit slices, cucumber slices and mint.
Foot Bath
Along with a big comfy chair I love to include a relaxing footbath. We grabbed some extra large bowls and filled them with warm water. To amp up your footbath game add in a capful of clear Listerine for a fresh tingly feeling and sprinkle in some flower petals and lemon slices.
