The Ultimate At-Home Spa!

Sweet Body Polish

To create this body polish, simply mix a cup of raw sugar with 1/3-cup of olive oil, 1/3-cup of real maple syrup or raw honey and a touch of oatmeal for sensitive skin. Not only does it moisturize and smooth dry skin, but it exfoliates to create a sheen that leaves you glowing. Apply in the bath or shower and rinse.


Luxury Body Toner

Indulge yourself with this age-old body toner recipe used by the finest spas throughout the world. Combine ½-cup of rose or lavender water with distilled water, 1 teaspoon of pure glycerin and all-natural vitamin E oil. Add a teaspoon of witch hazel, then, chill in a misting bottle for a soothing and refreshing body spray that tantalizes from head to toe.


Floral Milk Bath

Create a rose-petal milk-bath for the ultimate spa-at-home experience. You will need 2 to 4 cups of goat's milk or heavy cream, rose petals, Epsom salt and glycerin for a bathing experience unlike any other.

Chocolate Cravings

Create a moisturizing chocolate mask by mixing a large spoon of all-natural cocoa powder with a tablespoon of heavy cream (organic is best), 1 teaspoon of cottage cheese and 4 teaspoons of raw honey. Blend thoroughly and let dry on your face for 10 minutes, then rinse. The result is a purifying facial mask that deep-cleans your skin and leaves it silky smooth.


Berry Mani & Pedi

Give your hands and feet a special treat with our berry best strawberry exfoliate. Carefully wash and crown a dozen strawberries, add two large spoons of apricot or olive oil then add a teaspoon of sea salt. Mix in a blender into a paste then massage into hands and feet. Not only does this concoction leave dry, rough skin feeling soft and supple, but it creates a delightful aromatic sheen to your skin that lasts for hours.


With just a few inexpensive ingredients, it's easy to recreate the luxurious treatments traditionally found in expensive spas. Don’t forget to set the mood by lighting some scented candles, playing relaxing music and, of course, including something delicious to nibble on while you relax.
