Creating a spa day getaway at home

This is a collaborative post

When you become a parent it is a rarity that you have time for yourself and when you do it’s generally taken up by doing jobs around the house. The rest of your time is taken up with school runs, after school clubs and weekends of children’s parties. So making time for yourself is difficult but to make being a parent easier it is something you need to do. Not only does taking time to de stress help your own mental health and wellbeing it can help you to be balanced and a better parent in my opinion.

So this is where a home spa experience comes into play.

For me a spa day is a relaxing time where you don’t have to think about the worries of life you can just let yourself drift away to a place of no stress or responsibilities. This starts for me with some nice food and a fancy cup of tea. If a cup of tea isn’t for you then you could switch this up for a glass of bubbly. The way to my heart is definitely food so some sweet treats I can eat to myself without little hands trying to get at it is the perfect start.

Then move on to some easy treatments you can do at home, you can do so many treatments to do at home really inexpensively. Things such as face masks and foot masks can be picked up really cheaply and leave your skin feeling amazing and refreshed for the week ahead.

You can even make your own facemasks at home easily just by using some of the products below

• 1 teaspoon of Honey
• 2 teaspoons of milk
• 1 teaspoon of cocopowder

Mix well in a bowl. The honey and milk serves as a base and the coco powder will help to thicken it out. This facemask is perfect for flaky dry skin and it will give it a extra blast of hydration, while also plumping and gently exfoliating.

The best way for me to finish of a day at the spa is a sauna and you can actually get a home Sauna really easily making a home spa day something that can happen on a regular basis. You can get home Sauna’s with mood lighting to create a calming experience and play your favourite tunes through the speakers. So you can just sit back and relax !

So the next time you have some time to yourself have a self care moment the house work will still be there when you are done but at least you will be calm and relaxed whilst doing it.
