How to Indulge In a Spa Experience Without Leaving Home

In the past year, there are a lot of things that we have had to delay or do without, and highlights and waxing are relatively high on the list. Taking a mental break is also something that many people haven’t prioritized as much as they should. People are frazzled, and it’s not just because we haven’t had a proper blow-dry in months.

Taking stock of both your physical and mental wellness is a requirement if you intend to maintain inner balance in other aspects of your life. While going to the spa for a day of luxury indulgence might not be on the cards right now, we think that scheduling self-care should be just as critical as any other event on your weekly calendar.

Stop putting off your own satisfaction. We are here to help you ensure that you prioritize yourself with your own home spa experience.

 

Schedule it and stick to it

Similar to how scheduling alone time with your significant other might not seem romantic, organizing a spa experience when you are exhausted can seem like another task during an already overwhelming day. However we urge you to not fall prey to rescheduling or canceling. You might need to force yourself, but trust us when we say it will be worth it.

 

Be prepared

Setting the mood for a spa experience takes more than just running a bath. Think about what you love about indulging in a day at the spa. Is it the music? Is it a massage? Aristotle said it best that sometimes ‘the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. 

If you love a to-do list, then grab a paper and pen. If you would rather physically make a spa box, then get packing. What is important is that you consider the following when crafting your own personal experience:

Scent – Whether in the form of a candle, incense sticks, or a diffuser with essential oils, fragrances can help you relax, unwind and leave the worries of the world at the door.Relaxing scents include lavender, rosemary, jasmine, sage, and vanilla. Experiment with them individually and mixed to find your ideal concoction.

Music – It’s as straightforward as saying ‘Alexa, play meditation music’. If you have a preference, then save a particular playlist, otherwise go with the flow, but keep on some background music. This will help lessen any ambient noise and allow your mind to settle and wander from the stressful thoughts.

Indulge – Treat yourself to what makes you smile. Overflowing bubbles with luxurious bath milk and a purifying face mask with CBD oil might be just the ticket. Signing up for a wine subscription means that a box of top quality wines personally tailored to your preferences will show up at your door every month.

We know prioritizing yourself can seem draining after a long day of work or taking care of family and other commitments. Once you get enveloped by a warm tub of water, with a glass of wine in hand, your need for luxury will be quenched for the day.
