Are you a mom in need of a day of pampering? Read our tips on How to Create a Spa Day at Home for Busy Moms.

I’m a mom of two girls (11 and 8) and one boy (3). This Mother’s Day, I want something simple. I see it as an opportunity to take a day of rest and pampering. If my family were to ask me what I’d like for Mother’s Day, I’d be quick to answer that I’d want a day of rest and relaxation as well as a chance to pamper myself, at home – alone.
I spend a lot of time with my kids on a regular basis, especially now that my kids are out of school for several months. A silent home with just me and my thoughts and a few items to help pamper myself during my day alone is all I need for a perfect Mother’s Day. This will require the help of my husband of course. He will be in charge of entertaining the kids while I enjoy my day of pampering.
If you are dreaming of a spa day at home, consider these tips below to play the perfect day of rest and relaxation for you!
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.
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!
Here are 12 Infused Water Recipe ideas that you can try for your next spa day!
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!
Give yourself a manicure and pedicure.
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 and pretty nail polish for your DIY session.
Enjoy a relaxing bubble bath.
Enjoy a warm lavender bubble bath to relax during your spa day at home. Soak in the tub and feel the stress melt away!
Here are a few additional additions you can try for your at home spa day.
Make homemade bath bombs or soap.
Do-it-yourself bath bombs and soaps are a fun addition to an at home spa day for busy moms! Check out how to make bath bombs and soap below:

Add a favorite book with coffee or tea.
When you are feeling fresh and clean from from your spa experience, it’s time to sit and relax with a good book or magazine with a cup of coffee or tea. Consider an Audible membership so that you can listen to your favorite books while relaxing!
Don’t forget the yummy chocolates!
Don’t forget to pamper yourself with yummy chocolates! Chocolate candy is a great way to end a day of pampering.
Gift a spa-themed subscription box.
Subscription boxes are a trending item and a great idea for moms. I love receiving subscription boxes in the mail. Check out these Mother’s Day Subscription Boxes! There are a variety of options to choose from including sets that will compliment a spa day at home.

A home spa day sounds amazing to me. Between my blog and my 3 fur babies, I don’t have much time at all for myself.
I’m looking forward to a day out with my hubby for Valentinens Day but it’s different when your baby is only going to be 6 weeks old. You described my pre-baby day wish!
I would love to do an at-home spa day. Who doesn’t like to be pampered sometimes?
That looks delightful! I want to do this! I need a good spoiling right now we have been running nonstop for two months.
I would love to be pampered! I think every mother would. We tend to think of ourselves last.
Love this! I’m going to share on facebook in hopes my husband sees this. I would love something like this, and at home is the best spa I’ll ever get to!
What a cute gift basket! I could use a pedicure, that is for sure!
I love at home spa days!! They are a great way to relax and recharge as a mom, I have never tried these Biore products before they sound great.
I could definitely use an at home spa day. I love that I can do it from home and it’s cheaper that way as well. This is a great idea. I love all those items you have!
This is a great gift basket idea. I would love to get this for Valentines day. Spa treatments are always a great gift.
This is a great gift basket idea. I love DIY spa treatments. I will have to make one of these for my Mom.
Chocolate is always a great idea for a gift basket. I love to relax in a nice hot bath at the end of the day. A spa basket would be perfect for me.
I’ve been wanting to try this for some time. Now I must !
My wife’s love language is definitely spoiling, and this basket looks absolutely perfect. What a great idea for Valentines Day, especially because if I get her flowers one more year in a row, I’m going to discover Valentine’s Day from the couch’s point of view.
With four kids, spa days don’t happen very often. I love the idea of an at home spa day! Perfect for busy moms.
A home day spa is perfect! I would love to do this once in a while.
I could really use a spa day! It’s been too long!
It’s always the little things that make us happy, right? I mean a bath and some lotion is much, but it does make us feel special! 🙂
This sounds like a perfect day to me. I want to try the Biore baking soda products because I use the pore strips and they are great.
