Spa Day At Home for Busy Moms
Turn off distractions.
Turn your phone to silent to avoid receiving any phone calls, texts, notifications, or distractions during your spa day at home.
Leave your phone in another room and try not to even have it near you if possible. The last thing you want is to receive a notification that causes anxiety during your time of relaxation!
Set the mood of the room.
Light a few candles around the room in a safe location. If you don’t want to deal with flames on candles, I recommend using flameless candles.
Turn the light settings on low if possible to provide the perfect relaxing atmosphere for your spa day. Turn on relaxing music to listen to.
Invest in a nice robe for your spa day.
Have a pitcher of water available.
If you’ve ever visited a spa, you may recognize that most spas have a pitcher of water nearby.
Many times, the water is infused with fruits or other flavors that make spa day even more refreshing!
Pull Back Your Hair
If you are planning to do your own facial at home, pull back your hair with a hair tie or hair towel wrap to keep your hair from getting on your face or sticking to your face mask!
Give yourself a facial.
Give yourself a facial by using a facial steamer, facial cleanser, and/or facial mask. You can try placing a slice of cucumber over your eyes for a refreshing experience!

Save money on a salon style manicure and pedicure and do your own at home!
Start with a warm foot bath, then treat your hands and feet! You can use a pedicure set pretty nail polish for your DIY session.
