Anyone else planned a spa day but Covid19 had different ideas for you? Don't let rona ruin your plans. Recreate a spa day at home. Here are some top tips on how to create a rainforest inspired spa day.
Prepare your space
Get your space ready for your rainforest inspired spa day. Move all your plants in to your bathroom and your spa room (I used our bedroom) to make you feel like you are in the rainforest.
Tip: Turn up the heating in your designated spa room so you don't get chilly after your bath.
Pick the perfect scent
For a rainforest inspired spa day I had to get a rainforest essential oil. I really liked the smell of this one and found it very relaxing. Add a few drops to a diffuser (if you have one) in your spa room. If you don't have a diffuser add a few drops of the essential oil to your pillow. I also added loads of drops in to the bath. This made my bathroom smell amazing.
Don't have a bath? Add a few drops of the essential oil to your shower tray. The steam of the shower will release the aroma in to the room.
If you don't have essential oils you can light your favourite scented candle as an alternative.
Choose your music
I have apple music so searched for rainforest spa music and found this Rainforest music album. If you don't have apple music you can search on youtube for a rainforest spa playlist, there were loads to choose from.
Run a fancy bath
Treat yourself to a new green bath bomb to keep in the theme. I got mine from a local shop but love Lush bath bombs too. I also added some epsom salts as they are good for muscle soreness. While I was in the bath I cleansed my face. No idea if it was the right time to do it but I did it and I used my plant themed flannel from Robyn Northover, it also fitted in perfectly with the theme.
Face mask time
After your bath put on your favourite dressing gown and do a face mask in your spa room. To make it a bit more luxurious place a piece of cucumber on each eye.
Relax and read your favourite book
Once you have done your face mask, spend some time relaxing and reading. Keep the main lights off and use bedside table lamps if you have them. Make sure you still have that difuser on as well.
Eat well
I decided to theme the whole day, food and all. We had a Tropical smoothie bowl at the breakfast bar (not somewhere we usually eat) for brunch and it was delicious.
We had watermelon as our tropical snacks and then a jungle curry in the evening.
Keep hydrated
Keep hydrated throughout your spa day. I added lemon slices to our water which was very refreshing. We also had a peppermint tea while we were reading. I really don't like peppermint tea but if you do like it then have one while you are reading.
So there you have it, your very own rainforest spa day. I hope you find some time to treat yourself to a day like this, we honestly both felt so relaxed and recharged after it.
