Or if you can negotiate a few minutes here and there from your day to get even more time, by all means do it! Your family, friends and co-workers will meet a much happier, more chipper, fantastically refreshed you! In Preparation: First things, first. No shopping, buying or leaving the house. Scour the house for a few fun spa essentials and make a decadent Home Spa Day just with what you have tucked away! Why put off what you could be doing right now?! I suppose if you are out and about and feel so inclined to pick up special bath salts, moisturizers or essential oils, so be it. I admire your level of commitment! Grab your robe and slippers Find a soothing CD that you absolutely love Scented candle A washcloth, loofah, bath brush or a new scrubbie back there in the drawers you forgot about Fluffy cotton towel Bath salts or essential aromatic oils (if you have them) Your cleansers, toners and moisturizers Coarse sea salt Plenty of chilled spring water (with a splash of lime or lemon) in the fanciest glass you can find Steep a cup of green tea Let go of your day -- your obligations, responsibilities, stress and strain. Toss out the barrage of thoughts streaming through your mind (even if it's just for a moment). Trust me... they'll still be around later for you to poke at, ponder or peruse. Try to relax. Take yourself on a far away vacation in your head, tell yourself a "Once Upon A Time" story, remind yourself what a princess you are and remember how essential these precious moments are to your happiness and sanity! Welcome To Your At Home Spa Vacation! 1. Take it easy and slow down your breath, your thoughts and your movements. Put on your favorite CD and start prepping a very simple shower or bath in a wonderfully slow, deliberate and unhurried way. Take time to watch the candle burn, smell the fragrance, feel the soft robe or towels, look at the sparkling drops of water and run your hands through it -- take in the joyful process of an every day activity that we just fly through without a second thought! 2. Use essential oils. Not only do they smell great, but they are extremely good for your skin. The rule to applying essential oils is to never apply them directly on your face or skin. Just add about five drops to a bowl of warm water. Soak a washcloth in the water and then apply to your face and neck as a compress for five minutes. Repeat three times.
