Homemade Home Spa
It’s relaxing, easy, and inexpensive to create a spa experience on your own.
Set the mood. Play soothing music and light a candle. Soft sounds and light calm your mind.
Create a serene environment. A small tabletop fountain and indoor plants bring tranquility. Ferns and jade are easy to care for.
Bathe stress away. The tub is a cornerstone of the spa experience. Add bath salts or all-natural bubbles. We like the melts from Lush ($6–$8), which release cocoa butter and essential oils.
Massage your arms and legs. It relieves tension and stiffness and provides a peaceful meditation opportunity. Read Healing Self-Massage: Over 100 Simple Techniques for Re-Energizing Body and Mind (Collins & Brown, $15).
Rest in comfort. Sip herbal tea or water with lemon, and spoil your skin with a soft robe. Consider indulging with Under the Canopy’s eco-friendly organic cotton kimono ($48).
