Every now and then we have to reward ourselves for a job well done.

Now I know the economy is bad and most of us have dust in our pockets, but if yu can scrape up an extra $100, take yourself to the spa and get a massage featuring bamboo and peppermint exfoliation. Or what about getting a manicure & pedicure while bathed in essential oils and tea blends?

Sounds heavenly, right?

So, do it. If you can\’t squeeze another penny out of your budget then DIY! Turn your home into your very own spa for the day. Warm a few towels and place them on your favorite pillow. Place a hot bowl of water with aromatic lavender bath salt in it and lie down. Close your eyes and let the warm towels relax your neck and shoulders while the lavender scents soothe you.

When you are rested, fill your tub with warm water and a scented oil. Use a body scrub to gently exfoliate. Pat yourself dry and use the moisturizer of your choice to soften your skin.

And to top it all off, take a few minutes to clip, file and polish your nails. You will feel fresh, relaxed and beautiful by the time you are done, plus… you deserve it.

And, if you’re lucky, maybe the special someone in your life will follow up with a soothing massage.

Now isn’t that just as good, or maybe even better, than going to the spa?
