Just sharing:Before I begin, let me share with you, I have never been to a spa, nor have I had a pedicure, manicure or message. Such luxuries have been something that I have never had the opportunity to indulge in...
So, if you are like me, or if you are just wanting to save some bucks...let me share with you my spa night at home:
Last week, one of my coworkers shared a leg scrub that she had found online. Last evening, I had an unexpected hour to myself, so I thought I would try it out.
Step by Step Saturday Night Spa at Home
First thing:
I mixed up the body scrub:
 |
| 1 1/4 cup of sugar |
 |
| 1/2 cup of oil |
 |
| 5 tsps fresh lemon or lime |
Along with a beverage...last nights choice a glass of wine (if weather was cooler, I would have had a cup of decaf tea.)
 |
| Some chocolate |
 |
| A candle and flowers |
 |
| Some Kari Jobe |
 |
| A tub |
 |
| Lots of bubbles |
 |
| My favorite for soaking away my aches and pains |
 |
| Finished with some lotion...adding just a bit of "smelly" lotion to finish off the experience. My steps for my spa night was that I mixed up scrub. Took a shower and washed my hair. Added Conditioner and left it in. Ran my tub water. Soaked for five minutes. (Since I don't have a clock in my bathroom, I soaked for one song.) I shaved one leg. Added scrub. Rinsed off scrub. Shaved leg again. Repeated same process on other leg. Drained water out of tub. Used remainder of scrub for an all over body scrub. Started shower and rinsed hair and scrub off of body. Dried off. Applied lotion I was amazed at how smooth the scrub made my skin....total indulgence! (And very little cost!) Question: When was the last time you have had an indulgent moment? Or do you have any beautiful budget tips to share? |
