Whether you want to save money or can’t find a babysitter for the kids, having an at-home spa day is the perfect way to relax, unwind, and prioritize self-care. Even if you only have an hour to spare, the benefits of taking a break are significant for your mental and physical well-being. Let’s take a look at some tips to have an at-home spa day using all-natural, vegan bath products.
Create Your Spa Space
You know that feeling when you go to a spa and feel your worries melt away? You can create that same serene ambiance at home with some easy tips. It’s important to choose an area of your house that is quiet, such as your bedroom or guest room. After you find your space, remind the rest of your family that you need some quiet time to relax and unwind. To create a calming vibe, you can diffuse a relaxing essential oil like lavender or chamomile, place a Himalayan salt lamp in the room, and have a vase with fresh flowers.
Gather Your Supplies
Once you have created your spa space, the next step is to gather your supplies you need to be comfortable and relaxed. Depending on what type of spa activities you will be doing, gather all of the supplies and place them into a pretty basket nearby. This is easier than having to get up several times to go find items during your spa day.
Spa Items to Consider:
- A cup of herbal tea to relax your body and mind prepared using a kettle and teapot.
- Cut up fruits and veggies with a homemade dip for snacking.
- Steamed face cloths (roll up the towels in a crockpot with some water to keep them steamed).
- A pretty basket with all of your supplies with everything needed for a great spa experience.
- Aromatherapy candles for a subtle, pleasant scent.
- An oil diffuser with your favorite essential oils.
Set the Mood
After you have gathered the supplies, it’s time to set the spa mood. This will be based on your preferences and what you have available at home. If you can, try to use a soft light, salt lamp, or even candles to create a warm glow, rather than a harsh, bright light. Speaking of candles, this is the perfect time to light a candle of your choice.
Just like in the spas, a relaxing music playlist and candle can take your space to another level of serenity. Some good recommendations are nature sounds or calming instrumentals, but choose something that helps you unwind. If you have a Bluetooth speaker, you can use your phone to change the music with the touch of a button. By lighting a candle and playing your music in the bathroom, this will not be any ordinary routine. These little details will help you feel more relaxed and worry-free.
Most people like to start out with a warm bath or shower. During your bath or shower, this is the perfect time to use an all-natural vegan body scrub that will leave your skin refreshed, renewed, and balanced. To get clean, reach for some vegan soap that will moisturize, nourish, and cleanse your skin with skin-healing ingredients like aloe, sunflower oil, and essential oils.
Put On Your Comfy Clothes
One of the great things about being at-home is that comfy clothes are encouraged! Yes, it’s time to put on that fluffy or silky bathrobe and slip on some cozy slippers. By wearing something that makes you feel good and comfortable, it will be much easier to get into that zen state of mind. After your spa day, put on a nice pair of pajamas to stay relaxed for the rest of the evening.
Begin Your Spa Routine
After taking a bath or shower, it’s time to begin your spa routine. There are countless ideas for what to do, so it depends on what you would like. You may enjoy spending your spa day with a family member or close friend. This is a great opportunity to connect with someone you love and have quiet, meaningful conversations.
