As you wind down from the last minute chores before enjoying time with you loved ones, here is a great gift you can give yourself to bring on the calm so you can take in the joys of the holiday. With the shopping done and presents wrapped, all you need is to put aside 20-30 minutes for a little “me” time, while slipping into the comfort of your own bath without ever leaving your home. Grab some of your favorite candles, slip into your robe, and create your very own personal mini spa…
All you need are some nicely scented candles, bath salts, baking soda, lavender oil, some relaxing music and a nice soft towel and robe. Dim the lights, light some candles in the bathroom, and fill the bathtub with very warm water (as warm as you can stand it) and follow the quick recipe below:
– 2 cups of Epsom salt – or – Sea Salt from the Dead Sea
– 1 cup of baking soda
– 10 drops of lavender oil
The Epsom salt or Bath Sea Salts and baking soda will help relieve the toxins from your body while also adding minerals to your body like Magnesium that will naturally help to relax muscles, while the lavender oil is very calming and soothing. Soak in the tub for about 20 minutes. It’s a great, inexpensive way to create your own spa without having to spend a lot of money or time trying to include one more appointment into your already busy day… Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and time to truly enjoy this beautiful time of year!
