With all the stresses of everyday life
it’s important that we take some time out for ourselves.
Pampering doesn’t always need to come with
a heavy price tag, or include an entire day
spent at the spa.
You can enjoy some quality me time
in the comfort of your own home.
After all,
whether you’re a working woman,
stay at home mom or a new bride
everyone deserves a break!
Hi, I’m Tanisha and today I’m going to share with you
5 uber-relaxing ways that you can pamper yourself right at home.
It’s so nice to place our tired hands and feet in a warm soak,
especially when you’ve been working all day long.
But going to the salon or spa daily
is not an easy option for most of us right?
So here’s a Glamrs approved Home Spa DIY!
Dissolve ½ a cup of epsom salt
and a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a small tub
and then soak your hands and feet for about 15-20 minutes
and then massage in small circular motions.
This soothing and moisturising soak
will immediately refresh your aching limbs
and is a great way to indulge in some lavish self pampering!
One of the most relaxing ways
to indulge in some pampering
is to use an aromatic, indulging body lotion
right after you shower or before you head to bed.
We used Nivea’s Oil In Lotion
because it has a great combination of precious natural oils,
a delicate fragrance and it really feels super lux.
It will also moisturise your skin for 24 hours leaving it
soft and smooth all day long!
All in all, apart from being an indulgent little secret,
it’s also a perfect addition to your daily moisturising routine.
Plus, it comes in 3 variants
Rose & Argan Oil,
Vanilla & Almond oil and our favourite
Cherry Blossom in Jojoba Oil.
Everyone and I mean everyone will agree to this when I say
A good face mask is all you need
to instantly transport you to the magical land of calm
and it is a simple yet fancy way
to nourish your skin and rejuvenate your senses.
For this magic face mask,
combine one tablespoon of matcha green tea
and a few drops of rosewater.
Mix well until you get a thick paste
that’s easy to spread onto your skin.
Let it set for 20 minutes
and then wipe off with a warm, wet towel.
This little concoction will not only
hydrate and moisturise your face
but will also exfoliate and brighten your dull skin.
So just sit back, relax and let it work it’s magic!
Any pampering spa treatment
is incomplete without a great massage,
that makes you fall asleep.
While we can’t help with the falling asleep part,
we do have an at home soothing massage routine
that will have you melting like butter in your own hands!
Place both hands on either side of your head and
apply some light pressure at the base of your skull.
as you massage in a circular motion.
And then pull the skin on your scalp forwards
slightly with your thumbs.
Do this for a couple of minutes for the ultimate tension release.
Now you can fall asleep and dream of things that make you happy!
As we all know food makes everything better
and I’m sure most of you will agree.
Now during self care one ought to feel relaxed
and what’s a better way to loosen up than
to indulge in some fancy foods like
chocolate, strawberries and avocados.
These foods will not only help you relax
but they are also amazing mood lifters that will
refresh your mind and help you get your mojo back!
This, is the best way to end your pampering session.
Having a spa day at home
can be just as relaxing and amazing
as a day spent some place fancy and expensive.
So, pick out time when you won’t have any interruptions,
turn off your mobile phone,
light some candles to set the scene
and I’m sure this will become your indulgence routine.
I’m Tanisha, thanks for watching
and I’ll see you next time with more useful tips.
Until then stay tuned and stay Glamrs.
