Affordable Spa Weekend: Do It At Home!

Need to relax but can't afford a day at the spa? I love Breathe Magazine's idea for a Home Day Spa. You set aside a day of spa activities, all enjoyed within the (inexpensive) comfort of your own home. Here are a few suggestions:

Yoga.
Hot bath.
DIY manicure and pedicure.
Clean eating.

Check out Breathe Magazine for even more suggestions of how to schedule a home day spa.

If I were planning a home spa, I would also include:

Homemade smoothies.
DIY chocolate facial.
Drinking lots of water with cucumber slices (I love when spas do this!) or tea.
Lots of relaxing—but no TV!
Scented candles.
Back massage (from my husband, although this may be pushing it).

What I am missing? What would you include in your Home Day Spa?

Make Time to Pamper Yourself

Make Your Own Wax...for Hair Removal

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

Back massage (from my husband, although this may be pushing it).....LOL that's WHY my hubby sends me to the SPA so he doesn't have to give me a massage!
