Aahhh!!! , the rigors of life are all consuming and
we start dreading the days as there is nothing new. Hold on Hold on … there is
some relief on the way .When you are pressed for time yet still require some r
and r – at least more r and r than snoozing
, why not got for a spa day at home. The requirements are limited only to
ingredients and a zen space .For me relaxation starts with soothing silence
without any demands of this and that .You can even enlist your girlfriends and
make it a social event. If you are inviting your friends..the more the merrier.
You can take turns – Gossip , chit chats , snacks and take turns doing massages
,applying face packs and even pedicures. The sky is the limit. You can do henna,
hair braiding and temporary tattoos etc
Here’s how to a stress free and easy spa day
1.
Silence
and peaceful environment- Banish the kids or any other
disturbing elements including your laptop and iPod and put on some nice
soothing music.
2.
Practice
Pranayama –Follow the do’s and don’ts of yoga – no yoga
on full stomach etc and practice meditation for 5 minutes sitting in a
comfortable position.
3.
Face
Mask- Apply a soothing face mask which tones, tightens
and refreshes. Many face masks are available .You can even try DIY’s but test
for possible allergies by doing a patch test.
4.
Hair
Mask /Hot oil treatment – Do a self hair massage .Hair is
often neglected and does not get adequate nutrition.
5.
Soak
your tired achy , smelly feet – Soak your feet in
warm water with fragrant Epsom salts and your worries will literally melt away.
6.
Relax
with a cool beverage – Drink up your cool beverage , tea and
just chill chill just chill.
7.
Refreshing
bath with aromatic products – This will wash away all
the aches , pains and stress and will leave you feeling refreshed. Fragrant
products make you smell good and feel good.
The entire process will take no more than 30-40 minutes.
What are you waiting for ? You deserve this and who doesn’t want to end up
smelling good…? Cheers.
