5 Steps To Have A Spa Day At Home

So, you spent a good portion of your savings on airfare

, a luxury hotel, and booked some pricey spa treatments. You're ready to let the relaxation begin. But then, airport security takes two hours, there is a baby screaming next to you on the plane and you wish you were just back at home.

Sometimes, all the hassle of simply going to your destination eradicates any relaxation you could have gotten. So, why not cut out the actual travel part and just turn your home into a relaxing "getaway"? Here's how.

Sniff your way to serenity

Scent is very powerful when it comes to memory, or conjuring up past images. That's why many spa attendees leave asking to purchase the candles or oils used in their rooms or treatments.

So, ask yourself where you feel most peaceful. What do they smell like? Maybe your mother's vanity area or a garden. Buy oils or candles scented like these places and fill up your home with the aroma. Or, just try scents from specific destinations you wish you could go to like Hawaii or the Caribbean.

Now when it comes to selecting your spa room: choose one that can be made dark during the day. Maybe one that doesn't face the sun, or that has good curtains. Remove anything that will remind you of real life. So any to do lists or mail has to go.

If you have a space away from your home where there is less of a chance of visitors, phone calls or interruptions, set up your spa day there. My friend is a voice coach and to keep her family from bothering her on her spa day, held it at her studio. She removed all equipment used for singing lessons to create a totally blank space that she could re create into a relaxing, faux spa.

Now, technology has to be turned off and even removed if possible. Let your voice machine take some messages for once. Maybe even create an automated email that tells everyone you are on vacation for a couple of days.

Sound can be another major relaxant. Go online and explore free nature sounds, or even spa playlists. Some people like the sound of a light thunderstorm, some rain, some the ocean, some a tropic rainforest. Experiment and see which sound will take you somewhere far away.

Finally, no spa day is complete without some healthy and delicious food! Think of what you'd find at a spa. Perhaps one of those decadent wraps with tons of grilled veggies, or an overflowing salad. Cook ahead of time so that you don't have to do any work on your blissful spa day.
