Prepare
It is very important to have everything you need beforehand so you can be in the moment and make the day all about self-care. So here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Decide what you want to accomplish
- Commit to a time
- Plan for what you need beforehand
-
Set the Tone
Consider all the times you have had a spa and easily recreate that experience at home! For example, make a relaxing room with candles, towels, and cozy blankets to sit on, pick the perfect scent from local candle stores in Goodyear, and set the mood with music by making your own playlist.

Treatments
Whether you enjoy creating your own products or buying locally, sit back and treat yourself to a nice body scrub, and soothing skincare or facial routine.
Ingredients:
2 tea bags green tea
½ cup hot water
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
Directions:
First, add tea bags to hot water and let the tea steep until it cools. Next, add brown sugar to a bowl and mix in the coconut oil. Once the tea has cooled, add the sugar mix. Make sure you have the right consistency, if it too crumbly add more coconut oil or if it's too soggy add more brown sugar to the mix. Once you have made your desired consistency, spoon the scrub into a jar and get ready to have smooth and fresh skin!
Ingredients:
½ cup hot water
⅓ oatmeal
1 egg
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
Directions:
Combine the hot water and oatmeal together and let the water settle. After the water settles, mix in the plain yogurt, honey, and egg. Next, apply a thin layer to your face and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Now you have a fresh face to take on the rest of your day!
