Many of us know, or don't know, that it's important to make time for one's self. In this very busy World, one needs to take a deep breath, relax and be in the moment. The stresses one endures throughout the day can be hard on the mind, body and spirit. The economy certainly has preclude many to enjoy or maintain the finer things in life. As a result, one has to find alternatives to maintain a lifestyle that one has enjoyed in the past.
We spoke with some of our favorite people at our local luxurious resort spas and they gave us a few suggestions. The suggestions hopefully will provide you a guilt free self indulgent relaxing day that only you know you need, and for only pennies on the dollar.
First and foremost, we want to create an environment that is conducive with relaxation. We know, one can't create what a five start resort created when one walks through the gates of relaxation. But, we do know that when one closes their eyes, one can create anything they want to, right?
Picture yourself here
Please put away all of the kids toys, toothbrushes and shampoo bottles. Remove as many distractions as possible, at least temporarily. The minimalist atmosphere will allow one to put the daily stresses or what is perceived as stresses on the back burner and will allow one to enjoy the spa time.
Borrow vases of fresh flowers from around the house. If you don't have any, try to pick some fresh flowers from the garden. Set these vases around and throughout the bathroom (now known as the spa). Make up some aromatherapy oils. If you don't have any; use a tablespoon of vanilla extract in some water, place the container in a microwave and heat it for about 45 seconds. The vanilla will diffuse out into the air and will have a soothing and calming affect on one's mind. In addition, use some orange essences to brighten one's mood. If you don't have any, use a fresh orange and squeeze the outer Rhine to extract the orange essences. One only needs very little orange essence to achieve this mood enhancement.
Find some really nice scented candles. If you don't have any, one can buy them through MYJoy Candle Company , (We know, we just had to get that plug in) use spa type candles or aromatherapy type candles. One of our favorites is the Lemon Grass Verbena , its fresh, clean and youthful. The lemon essences are extracted from young barely ripe lemons and produce the best fragrant candles.
Get a CD player or a portable radio. Put it on a counter top (but not near the tub). Play some very relaxing music or put in a CD of different sounds. For example, Whale sounds, Ocean sounds,Trains blowing their whistles in a fair away distance. Some people even like Thunder Storms. One can even play soft jazz while listening to the radio and causing a sense of being in the moment. What ever your pleasure, just use it to bring you into the moment of relaxation.
Indulge your senses! Get an unusual fruit drink and pour club soda in it, put in a crystal stemware glass, or steep some Green tea and sip it while waiting for the bath to be drawn. Use your favorite bath salts or bubble bath. If you don't have bath salts or bubble bath, use the orange peel from the orange essence extraction and put in tub with half cup of Epsom salts.
Wet your hair and deeply massage a conditioning treatment in it. If you don't have a conditioning product, use one part honey and one part olive oil. One will be amazed at its results. Wrap the hair in a shower cap or a Terri-cloth towel.
Now, sink into the tub and prop your head up with a bath pillow or a rolled up Terri-cloth towel and dream away!
