Manicure and Pedicure Kit
Why not also do your nails too? You can get some nail polish and there are some amazing recipes online to help you get smooth feet and hands. Also during your spa, you can take some time to shave your legs.
Bath Bomb
You can intensify your bath with a bath bomb! Bath bombs are hard-packed mixtures of dry ingredients which effervesce when wet. They are used to add essential oils, scent, bubbles, or color to bathwater. Bath bombs usually cost between 1 to 10 dollars.
Food
We can't have a successful spa day on an empty stomach. Why not have a few treats? Get one of your favorite treats, it could be some sweets or maybe some chips. Go get something to drink too. Some lemon water or some juice or even some wine if that bad day at work really got to you.
Essential Oils
Getting essential oils from plants is done with a process called distillation, most commonly distillation by steam or water, where many parts of the plants are being used, including the plant roots, leaves, stems, flowers, or bark. After distillation, the outcome is a highly concentrated portion of essential oil, which will have the characteristic fragrance and properties of the plant from which it was extracted, and contain the true essence of the plant it came from. This includes the smell, but also the plant’s healing properties and other plant characteristics. You could also put these oils in some water and drink it.
Get your bathroom ready and prepared. Light some candles and turn the lights off. Turn on the bath water. Put your food and drink somewhere close so you can reach while you are in the bath. Start putting on your face and hair masks. Take deep breaths and just think about how amazing you will feel after this. Once the water is at a good height start sliding into the tub and drop in your bath bomb. Watch as the bath bomb disperses in beautiful colors. Relax and relish in this beautiful spa for about 30 mins or until your fingers look like raisins!! After you get out and dry off, sit on your bed and do a nice mani/pedi. By now you should be ready to go to bed.
