With Christmas coming up, god knows how much more stress is getting piled onto us. I mean, who can possibly deal with all that shopping, wrapping and end-of-term tests? It's enough to make you scream!
The solution to this frenzy? A treat-yourself, do it yourself spa day! This is a super simple snow day activity. Heck, maybe you could even do it on a non-snow-day! Here are a few ideas for treatments:
- Pumpkin Scrub: Take 1/4 cup cooked pumpkin, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of almond/olive/jojoba oil, 1 tablespoon ground coffee and juice squeezed from 1/2 a lemon. Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Apply on any rough areas and wait before rinsing.
- Cucumber Eye-pads: Make a pint of cucumber juice. Take cotton pads, soak with the cucumber juice. Freeze. When you need to use the eye-pads, take out the cucumber pads, and thaw for 5 minutes before applying. (Hint: Make more so you can use the eye-pads everyday!)
- Yoghurt-Honey Facial Mask: Take 1 cup of yoghurt and mix with 1/4 cup of honey. Apply to face and wait 10-20 minutes before rinsing off.
- Lavender-Rose Face Steam: Fill up a basin or tub with hot water. Add one drop each of lavender and rose essential oils to the water and allow to steam for a few seconds. Take a towel and hold it over your head while you hold your face over the tub.
I know what I'll be doing this weekend! Good luck, and try out these treatments! :)
