It’s always nice to spend the rest of our free time at someplace relaxing, a spa for instance. We always get that rejuvenating feeling right after, and most of the time even during a spa treatment. The feeling of bliss is in fact exceptional—even addicting! But have we ever wondered how much money we spend whenever we go for a massage, a facial, or a body scrub? Hundreds, I suppose especially those who do it regularly, just like me. A sad fact indeed, yet we can always do something to cut off our expenses. The solution: pamper ourselves from head to toe in the comforts of our own home. Here’s how:

Head start. One way to make this refreshing start worthwhile is to shampoo and condition your hair a little longer than usual. While mayonnaise and beer rinse is a good remedy for dry hair and scalp, what you can do for your head and mind to regain the energy they need is to finish the treat with a massage. With the tips of your fingers, run them through your scalp in a slow, circular motion. You can also use waterproof massagers like Fukuoku Massage Glove. The blood circulating your scalp will not just help you relax while bathing but it will as well give your hair a healthier growth.

Hands on. Although paraffin wax is a nice way to soften your hands, you don’t want to spend parts of your weekly savings on a 20 to 30-minute treatment that you can actually do at home in 5 minutes! What you can do is make your own recipe for a home hand spa.

In a large bowl, soak your fingers and cuticles in a mixture of warm water, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, a few drops of organic rosemary oil, and a few sprigs of rosemary. For a supple and scented finish, exfoliate them weekly with a scrub mixture of a cup of organic sugar, a teaspoon of olive oil, and a few drops of your favorite essence oil. This DIY is fast and easy and most of all, safe, since it uses all-organic ingredients.

Royal Bath. Feel like a queen and give yourself a soothing massage followed by a coffee rub or an exfoliating bath of hot sea salt. Have a floral bath and Underwater Lights, some scented candles and your waterproof mp3 plugged to your ears for a complete royalty experience.

Pretty Feet. Go give your tired feet the indulgence they deserve—a home foot-spa, bubbles and massage in warm soapy water that is. Your feet will surely find their solace all in three easy steps: soak, scrub and moisturize. Tip: mint scented products always work!

Bringing your favorite spa treatment at home can do wonders to your savings! Great thing about it, you can actually have your refreshing treat while watching your fave tv shows, pipe in and listening your playlist, or while indulging in a home-made gourmet snack.
