Recreating a Spa at Home

-->


I thought I would start this blog with a little rare indulgence. The home spa. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a retreat you can rely on anytime you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders? All you would have to do is close your bathroom door, slide into some warm water and listen to music that will soothe and calm your senses by the light of flickering candles.

Different people require different ingredients to relax. You can set up the place with a little tray of goodies such as scented candles, a flower, a body scrub and maybe some chocolates? Start with an aromatic oil massage before you get into your bath (Flower by Kenzo bath oil - I love the fragrances and skin care products by Kenzo). Bath salts and creams are great for reinvigorating and nourishing the skin. Check out the floral collection of Marks & Spencers. You might want to use a scrub for your tired feet, and one for your body. A bubbly and a good book are two things I highly recommend too. I’ve been reading Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton. I am a big fan of his. The way he sees our daily existence and finds beauty and meaning and sometimes the funny side in the things we do. This book reminds us of the beauty of architecture and how it influences our lives, our very well being.

Enjoy yourself and let me know what makes you relax. 

Shobha.
