Using In Home Spa Recipes Can be SO easy!
Do you LOVE to DIY (do-it-yourself)? I love ideas for in home spa recipes. Have you ever thought about creating products for a DIY home spa? The luxurious products and special pampering at expensive salons and get-a-way spa’s make it almost impossible for the average woman to seek out these services. I’m not the average woman! I LOVE the pampering and opulence. The only difference is, I Do-It-Myself! I host DIY Ladie’s Night Out Spas in my community. I share recipes with attendees, and we enjoy a chair massage, and foot scrubs and soaks, and other pampering products. I make them myself and teach others to do the same!
Finding ingredients for making in home spa recipes can be simple. You only need to start with a few ingredients and most are easily found at the grocery or can be found on places like Amazon, or Mountain Rose Herbs and recipes! Here’s a great reference e-book you can get started with to create simple luscious products like soaks, scrubs, and body butters! Here’s a Guide To Creating Spa Products. It’s even loaded with information about how you can use in home spa recipes for profit. That’s a win-win, isn’t it?
My favorite thing to make is body butter. Oh, the first time I whipped up this dreamy cream and rubbed it on my body right after a soaking bath…what can I say, I felt like I was pampered just like being in a high quality pampering day-spa.
Here’s an EASY sugar scrub recipe:
EASY SUGAR SCRUB
1 cup granulated white sugar—works best
1/2 cup olive oil
3-4 drops essential oil of choice
Pour white sugar into an empty jar with a tight fitting lid (a small jelly or condiment jar works great) Pour the
olive oil into sugar. Add essential oil and mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended. Or, screw
on the lid and shake to mix the ingredients.
Here’s an easy body butter recipe:
½ cup Organic Shea butter
½ cup Mango Butter
½ cup Organic Coconut Oil
½ cup Organic Olive Oil
Essential oils. You can send me an email to joyce@theessentialnurse.com to find out about the essential oils I use and recommend and how you can purchase them wholesale!
I gently melt the Non-essential oils in a microwave bowl. They don’t need to get very hot/boil…just bring them to a melt. Stir well. Put them in the fridge. As they start getting cool, and begin to become solid (don’t let it get hard, just at the beginning of solid) Take them out of the fridge. Get out your awesome mixer with beaters, and begin to whip it up! Whip for several minutes, and it’s going to start looking like whip cream. Add 10-30 drops of essential oils. Continue to whip until nicely mixed up, and you’ve got the most awesome body butter! Place the mixture in a nice container. You will have enough to use a couple of containers. If your house is warm, you will need to keep it in the refrigerator. If not, you can leave it out in your bathroom or bedroom.
You can see how fun it is to create your own spa using your own in home spa recipes. It’s easy AND addictive! Start with a few recipes.
Next is to create a nice fruit water. Nice clean crisp water in a pitcher and add lemon and cucumber slices with a hint of mint! Pour a nice tall glass before you get into that soaking tub!
This Essential Nurse KNOWS the need for attention to self-care. I diligently set up my own spa at least once a week. And Now… I will finish it with this:
Enjoy that long soaking bath. Don’t forget that you can find more In Home Spa Recipes here
