at home spa...

Who needs to spend all that money to have a relaxing day at the spa when you can get the same benefits at home!

Facial: Ironing a dozen of my husbands shirts with extra steam; cucumbers from the dinner salad are optional.

Mud Bath: Weeding after the sprinklers had their turn, then having balance issues.

Body Wrap: Wrestling with a box of inexpensive plastic wrap and having it win.

Exfoliating: Scrubbing floors on hands and knees

Massage: Feeling the vibrations of a teenager's stereo sub woofer during an especially long musical arrangement.

When doing laundry, don't forget to make use of the hot towels you fold straight out of the dryer. To increase the ambiance of your spa home day, simply carry a candle around with you with an aromatic scent, an i pod with relaxing music and wear a plush white bathrobe and you're set!
