A Simple Valentine’s Day Spa at Home

07-Feb / Entertain / 0 COMMENTS

Valentine’s Day can be all about home. Here’s how to set the mood in the bathroom, for Love:

Gather:

One cup bath sea salt or Epsom salt (baby oil or bubble bath may be used)
Two dozen red and pink roses and two large vases
One batch pink or red daisies
Tea lights (unscented)
Tea light holders (optional)
Essential oil (Rosewood, Bergamot, or Eucalyptus are perfect for opening the Heart Chakra.)
Fresh, fluffy towels (preferably straight out of the dryer)
Lotion or massage oil
Hand Written Letter
Soft Music

Do:

1. Fill bathroom sink with cool water to float your daisies. Place the rest in the vase and display on a side table/shelf, along with essential oil bottles, lotion, sponge, etc.

2. Fill tub with water as hot as you can tolerate and add the bath salt, bubble bath or both. A small drop of Essential oils also help set the mood. Add your loose rose petals.

3. Clean out everyday bathroom items.

4. Remove your regular bathroom mats; stow them out of sight. Fold towels in half and line the walkway of your bathroom – think of it as plush carpet. Also have fresh towels ready for after-bath.

5. Arrange the tea lights around the sink and bathtub ledge.

6. Hide a hand written card amongst the towels and using a dry erase marker write a personalized message on your shower door or mirror. Try a quote from your favorite love song!

7. Introduce soft music for added romantic effect from an adjacent room.

8. Now you’re ready for love. Pamper your Valentine with a gentle sponge bath, towel dry and finish off with a lotion rub. You can even make your own lotion concoction by adding some of the essential oil to an unscented lotion brand.

So simple. Love is so.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I Dare You To Be Domestic.
