How to turn your bathroom into a mini spa

We all deserve a little time out to relax and put our feet up, however not everyone has the time or money to escape to a luxury spa. So here’s the perfect solution - create your own mini spa at home!

Every once in awhile we need to escape from the hectic stresses of everyday life. Here are a variety of ways that you can turn your very own bathroom into a mini spa, perfect for an afternoon of relaxation and pampering.

Turn off your phone

We are a nation addicted to our smart phones, but this is not the time or the place to be on your mobile. You want to feel at ease and to do so you need to completely block out the stresses of everyday life. More importantly, you don’t want your afternoon at the spa being interrupted. Turn it off.

Set the mood

Before you get in the tub, you must do a little preparation. In order to completely relax you must create the right mood. A spa wouldn’t be complete without some scented candles and relaxing music.

The beauty of having your own spa at home allows you to have full control over these factors. Choose a scent that helps you unwind but make sure it isn’t too overpowering. When it comes to music try and choose something that you can listen to for a long period of time, you don’t want to be getting out of the tub to change the track.

Make your own treatments

Why spend money on pricey spa treatments when you can make your own natural skin care products home?

There are a variety of recipes online that you can use to pamper your body and soothe your soul. You’ll find that most recipes are made up of ingredients that you could already have around the house.

Invest in a bathrobe and comfy pair of slippers

After an hour of relaxing in the tub, there’s no better feeling than wrapping up in a soft robe and stepping into a pair of comfy slippers.

Go for a lightweight easy to wear robe and some waffle slippers, when it comes to colour go for white just like they use in the high end spas.
