So you’ve been learning to cope with your stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. You’re caught up on cleaning and other chores at home so now you’re making time to unwind. Consider unwinding by relaxing and treating yourself to your very own stay at home spa day.
If you’re not lucky enough to have someone in your home up to giving you personal spa treatments like facials, massages and nail treatments you can still have a pleasing DIY spa day at home. Start with taking over a space at home for your spa day. Consider using a bedroom or even the bathroom for an extended shower or soak in a tub. Make it a relaxing space for yourself. Keep some treats on hand to please your taste buds with sips of cold-pressed juice or nibbles on a snack bar or a piece of chocolate. If it pleases you, dim the lights, play meditation music, and even top off the experience with the scents of a professional spa with essential oils.
Helen West, RD summarizes on Healthline in “What Are Essential Oils, and Do They Work?” (9/30/19):
