Getting Back Your Sanity Or a Day At The Home Spa.

We all need to get back our sanity, our needs to recoup from life of work, children, hubby, so here is an idea that I came up with. Recouping after a hard week of just everything, how about having a day at the spa? We need to take time off for ourselves which is something we women seldom do –
We take care of the house, take care of the children, take care of the spouses, work, and if we have any free time, pick up the laundry, we go grocery shopping, become the neighborhood taxi, pick up and drop off at various after school activities, fold the laundry, make the beds, putter in the garden, go to after-school meetings and a number of other activities. If we are lucky, our day ends at Midnight to start over again at 6 am the next day. This means there is no time for YOU.—

Well ladies, after all that I have an idea...

REBEL - Stage a Coup Take Sometime for Yourselves!

Next time while making appointments for the children or husband - Pencil one in for you, for a Day at the Spa, but if there isn't one close, or you are on a budget, then here are some great ideas that you can do at home. Remember Ladies, You Are Worth It!

Next time you are at the grocery store or ordering for yourself online, add these few items to prepare for your Day.

Novel you been meaning to read
Your favorite beverage
Do make sure all this in is your favorite fragrance not his or anyone else’s.

The number one thing is to remember to warn the rest of the family that you’re not at home, even just lock the bedroom/bathroom door and do not disturb sign to it.

Now here is what you do with all those goodies you got for your day at home. Before you start your day,
TURN OFF THE PHONES! Mobiles too, you are not to be disturbed unless someone is at death’s door and that means for real and not because the child fell down and bumped their knee.

While your bath is filling, add your bath salts or oils, bubble bath, or bath milks. Before climbing in to that tub put a deep healing moisturizing conditioner in your hair and cover it with a towel. Dim the lights and light your candle, start your music, blow a kiss at the door and slide into the tub.

The rest of the world will be forgotten as the moisturizing bath takes your cares. Scrub your toes and nails so you can paint them later. If lucky enough to have a shower and a tub together you can stand up and scrub your body with your sugar body scrubs washing in out then fill the tub the choice ladies is yours. After the water cools, Rinse the conditioner out of your hair.
Rise off but be gentle drying your skin, lather on your moisturizing body butters or favorite lotion. Later on in the day after your toes and finger nails have had time to dry thoroughly, take care of them with a home manicure and pedicure, then paint them in the color of your choice. If you had let your girlfriends know ahead of time of this day, call them, for what? Well its time to go Shopping! (Or if you are too relaxed for shopping, sit back and read your book.)
Now that you have had had your day at the Home Spa, Feeling Refresh and Relaxed you can handle again with a smile everything your busy life has you handling, till the next time You Pencil in A Day a the Home Spa!
