DIY MOTHER’S DAY SPA “CELEBRATE IN QUARANTINE”
Turn home into the spa — and save on the pricey costs. Create the right ambiance by lighting some scented candles and playing some calming music on YouTube or Spotify. Throw Mom’s robe in the dryer for a few minutes so she can feel warm and toasty while being pampered. Not only will you not have to leave the comfort of home, but these ideas won’t cost you a fortune. 1. Everything you’ve heard about coconut oil is true. Skip the expensive body lotion and the deep conditioner and use this low-cost alternative instead. Cost: $1 from Dollar Tree. 2. Apply an avocado or egg mask to your hair to start, then wrap your head in a warm towel. Let it work its magic for at least 20 minutes while you give yourself a lip scrub. Cost: 10 cents to $1.50. 3. Korean sheet masks, from local dollar store for a buck each and discovered they work just as well as the expensive brands. Cost: you guessed it — $1. 4. Clear up blemishes and reduce fine lines with a container of plain, generic-brand yogurt! Jazz it up with extras like a dash of honey or oatmeal, your pores will thank you. Cost: 60 cents to $1. 5. After rinsing off the mask, give a five-minute face massage. It’s surprisingly relaxing. Cost: FREE! 6. If you have a few dollars a month to spare, sign up for a Sephora Play! subscription. You’ll get a box delivered right to your door filled with deluxe product samples and a bonus fragrance. Cost: $10 7. This homemade eucalyptus sugar scrub is both energizing and effective. You can make a batch to slough off dry, dead skin, leaving behind a tingly clean that smells luxurious. Cost: Less than $1 worth of sugar, coconut oil and salt, plus around $13 for eucalyptus essential oil. 8. For a change of pace, exfoliate skin with this three-ingredient coffee body scrub that you can make with the (FREE!) used coffee grounds left over from morning brew. Reduces the appearance of cellulite. 9. Create a calming bath. Use your best candles, body scrub and add rose petals to have the feel of a spa/retreat at your favorite vacation location.
