Do you fancy a little bit of self care time? An opportunity to manifest something positive? When was the last time you went out and enjoyed some indulgence? Maybe you used to love getting a massage or having a facial with your friends? Even if your favourite spa hotel or luxury treatment rooms aren't open at the moment, or even worse, they have closed down, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a spa day. Let's have a look at how you could organise your very own spa day, or dare we even day it, spa weekend (!) at home!
Get Your Products Ordered
One of the biggest parts of a spa day are the treatments you enjoy. These could include massage, facial, body treatment, manicure, and pedicure. With that in mind you need to figure out how you're going to relax and enjoy these treatments on your spa day. Of course, if you're by yourself, you're not going to be able to have a massage. So pick treatments (and products!) for your particular situation. Shop online at places like Boots and Superdrug and you could even get products for free by using any points that you have earned from previous transactions. You might even have some products in the back of your cupboard that you haven't got round to using yet. Get them all together and get ready to be pampered!
Unplug The Phone
When you're having your own spa day at home, you need to remove distractions. Send your partner out for the day. Get the kids to a play date. Get the house to yourself and unplug the phone. Whilst you're at it, switch off the door bell too! You need to ensure you're not going to be disturbed. No one wants to answer the door to someone wanting to help you save money on your utility bills with a bright green clay on your face and cucumber on your eyes!
Line Up Your Playlists
Some people love having tranquil music in the background whilst ensuring some spa treatments. Others love having their favourite music, whatever that may be, rather than whale song. Find a stress busting and relaxing playlist on your preferred music streaming site. A cheap Bluetooth speaking can be perfect if you're in the back garden or you might just want some in ear headphones to completely switch off from the world around you.
Make Sure The Hot Water Is On
Some of your products will be cleaning products. Handmade soaps, smelly shower gels, luxury shampoo bars. Maybe even a bath bomb! With that in mind, make sure you have got the hot water on so you can enjoy a power shower or a long soak in the bath. You won't want to be running the bath once you've light some candles to find out the water is only lukewarm. You could even buy yourself a new loofah to make sure you really scrub up nicely!
Hire Your Own Hot Tub
One of the great parts of a spa day is relaxing in the hot tub in your garden. Obviously these are usually located in swanky hotels and spa locations to help your body and mind unwind. You're unlikely to have one of those at your house. Well, actually, you can! There are companies you can use to hire a hot tub. They'll deliver it, install it and sort it all out for you to enjoy for a weekend. This is perfect. All you need is your swim suit and some fluffy towels and you can be king or queen of your own back garden in your very own hot tub!
Slippers & Robes
The last thing you want to do after relaxing in the hot tub is try to dry yourself off enough to pull your jeans back on. You want to maintain that stress level you've wound down to and keep the relaxation going. Get a pair of fluffy slippers and a comfortable robe at the ready to slip into. This is perfect for keeping you warm both outdoors and inside your home. Do whether you're laying on a longer in the garden as the sun sets, or are reading a chapter of your favourite book on the sofa (in your living room) next to an essential oil diffuser, you'll be relaxed and comfortable.
More Than Just Relaxing
You spa day is more than music and treatments and relaxing in the hot tub. If you were paying for one at a gorgeous hotel, you'd be getting food and drink included too. Maybe a glass of bubbly on arrival, nibbles by the pool and an afternoon tea once you've had your treatments. Be sure to get your food and drink order in and organised for delivery. Push the boat out and get your favourite things. Fresh strawberries, chocolates, Prosecco, Homemade Essential Oil Infused Teas. Make this spa day at home extra special with products you wouldn't buy every week. Hand cut crisps with gorgeous flavour, maybe some cheese and biscuits, scones with raspberry jam and clotted cream. Absolute indulgence and pure bliss! Why not enjoy a drink from your home bar?
As you can see, you do not have to be waiting in a queue to book your spa day experience at a top end hotel. You can organise your very own spa day at home. With online delivery available for food and drink and using products already in your cupboard, you don't have to even leave the house! You can even get someone to bring you a hot tub and set it up ready for you to enjoy! The ultimate spa day is just a few clicks or phone call away! When the day is over, you don't have to jump back into the car or worry if you've had one glass of fizz too many. You can simply walk up the stairs and slide into your own bed. Whether you're wanting a self indulgent day by yourself, a little self care, you are organising a day with a friend or loved one, or are maybe using it as a spa day for a hen party, these DIY ideas will ensure you have a wonderful time.
