DYI Spa Night
How to create a DIY Spa Night
With a busy schedule and rising treatment prices, spa days tend to take a back seat on the list of priorities. Practicing self care daily should be a priority in our lives. Taking at least one or two nights a month to focus on relaxing and pampering yourself at home with a few good treatments will make a huge difference in your mind body and soul. Here’s how:
- Start by setting the mood. Put on some relaxing music, light some candles, and pour yourself a glass of wine (optional, but recommended!).
- Once you’ve got the ambiance set, draw your bath and get in a good dry brushing session. Brushing the skin while it’s dry helps to exfoliate and increases blood circulation.
- Once you’re done, hop in the tub and throw on your masks! Start with a Rosie Glow Face Mask and DIY hair mask. Here’s one of our go-to EASY recipes for nourishing, shiny hair:
You’ll need:
- 1 Tbs Coconut Oil
- 2 Tbs Honey
- 1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Melt honey and coconut oil together on the stove until well combined and warm.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in apple cider vinegar.
- Clip hair and apply the mask in sections using a brush.
- Pull hair into a loose bun and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Wash with normal shampoo and warm water.
While you’re still in the bath, be sure to exfoliate your body with our Sugar Body Scrub.
-
Post bath, lather up in Body Butter to really nourish and moisturize your skin. Tip: Massaging in the butter while your skin is still a little damp will help lock in that moisture.
- To keep in theme with moisturizing, add a high quality facial serum, like our Daily Repair, While you let that soak in, do a simple lip mask using just a dab of coconut oil mixed with honey. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes.
- End your spa night with a calming cup of tea - we love this Chamomile Latte recipe:
You’ll need:
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 2 chamomile tea bags
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small, covered saucepan, bring water to a boil. Turn off heat, add chamomile tea bags and steep 5 to 7 minutes for a strong brew (recommended).
- Remove tea bags and add almond milk, maple syrup and cinnamon.
- Return the saucepan back to medium heat and stir continuously until hot, but not boiling.
- Turn off heat, pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.
- Optional: Use a milk frother to create a layer of foam for your latte.
Set a goal to repeat this at least once per month!
