Pampered..At Home AND On a Budget

A spa day with the girls always serves as a pick me up for most women. A time relax and rejuvenate. However, more often than not, a lot of woman either don't have the time or dont have the money, maybe even both.

So how can you get that pampered, expensive spa treatment at home without busting up the budget?
Well, first start with a nice scented candle that will set the mood and tone for relaxtion. A lavender, apple cinnamon, mint, or jasmine scented candle is great because it serves as soothing, calming agents to help relax the senses and the body.

Next, if you have the time run a bath using equally as calming bath salts. Chamomile, lemongrass, and eucalyptus are excellent for soaking and soothing. However, if you don't have the added time for a relaxing bath, add a calming body scrub to a nightly shower. This has been proven to be equally as effective. Body scrub scents that will ease and soothe range from lavender, vanilla, grapeseed oil, and mint. These will also add moisture to the skin leaving it feeling replenished and refreshed.


Doing these things once or twice a week will leave you pampered, relaxed, rejuvenated. But, where do you find these inexpensive items to acheive this at home pampering without breaking the bank, you may ask?

 For starters, the candles can be found at many discount drug and retail stores. For example, Glade has a Relaxing Moments line of scented candles for $3.99 and under if caught on sale. Many online discount candle stores are great for the pocketbook as well. For instance, fantasticfavors.com have scented candle sets of 2-4 for $9.97.

Bath Salts and Body Scrubs can be found at discount retail and drug stores as well and online. A good online body scrub is Haus of Gloi's lavender sugar bubbling scrub. You can get 6 oz. for $8 or they offer sample sizes 2 oz for $3.50. You may even want to explore your local small business dealers for exclusive pricing and customized skin care. For example, Ixora Botanical Beauty at ixorabb.com, for natural body products.

So rest assured, whether you order online, purchase in a store, or support your local small business, you too can get the relaxtion and pampering that you so deserve without burning a hole in your budget.
