WHOLE BODY SPA TREATMENTS

 Whether you’re getting ready for a special event like a wedding or a party

or just taking some time to focus on yourself, the recipes in this chapter

provide a rich sensory journey to leave you positively glowing from the

inside out. Taking the extra time to set the scene for a divine home spa

experience brings the pampering to a higher level of replenishment and

rejuvenation, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit.

Start by letting fresh air flow through your space to clear out any stagnant

energy or stale air. Select some calming, healing music to play. Lay out

some clean fluffy towels and a soft robe. In the spirit of whole body

replenishment, prepare a healthy spa water like the Strawberry Super C

Sipper or Cucumber De-Puffer Spa Water to enjoy while you recline with

your feet soaking in a Fizzy Mojito Foot Spa. Light some candles and say

a blessing. Something like this works well to set the tone: “I have set this

time aside for me. All of my stresses and worries fall away from me now.

This is my time to heal and nurture my entire being.” Take a few deep

breaths to set the relaxation in motion. It is in these sweet moments,

while you are in repose slathered in gorgeous, gooey home spa

treatments like the Head-to-Toe Pumpkin Mask or the Detoxifying

Seaweed Body Wrap, that a deeper overall healing takes place. There is

nothing comparable to a spa day like this to bring out your inner goddess!
