One of the simplest joys in life is taking a soak in your tub. Even if you don’t have things like fancy bath pillows, you can fill the tub and rest gently against a fluffy towel. Want to heighten the mood? Grab some bubbles and get ready to relax!
Give Yourself a Facial
Get some much needed R&R and clearer, healthier, glowing skin by creating your own facial! If you’re running short on time, just grab your favorite store bought sheet mask and chill for 15 minutes. Or if have the time, go for the whole DIY experience.

Give a Little Love to Your Lips
Sure you may pop on some chapstick when your lips are dry, but what about giving them a little more care? Follow a great idea from Alex Drummond and buy a lip mask. Wear it overnight or all day like she does for super soft smackers.

Light a Candle

Go for a Full Body Scrub

Add Some Shower Botanicals
Adding plants with healing properties in and around your shower will not only perk up your space, but help what ails you. Think: eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary, and mint. The scents will help relax you and probably clear those pesky sinuses, too!

Transform Your Tresses
A true spa day should also include your hair, so try a DIY hair mask at home. No matter what kind of hair you have―dull, dry, damaged―there’s an option for you. You and your hair will feel like a million bucks!
Give Yourself a Hand Massage
Chances are that you need to put lotion on your dry skin anyway, so why not give each finger some attention? Before you know it, you’re giving yourself a full hand massage and enjoying every second.

Dress the Part
The first thing a spa will give you is a robe, comfy slippers, maybe a bath towel or two. Set yourself up for spa success by doing the same. It will set the tone for whatever other pampering activities you want to do. Or stay in your pajamas! Just be as comfortable as possible.
Diffuse the Situation
Similar to candles, diffusers set the mood with calming scents. Essential oil diffusers come in all shapes, sizes, and smells. They can be used all the time of course, but they sure do set the tone when you’re inside all day for pampering.
