There's no need to travel hundreds of miles to a high-dollar spa to rejuvenate your body and spirit. Try it in your own backyard.
Convert your home into a health spa for a weekend and treat your guests to great food, yoga sessions, poetry readings, or even a pedicure.
To plan your weekend getaway, consider these tips:
- Create spa concoctions. Many books and Web sites offer recipes for facials and other treatments that you can make with ingredients found at any health food store or supermarket.
- Make a thoughtful gift for your guests:
fragranced eye pillows. Sew
8 x 4-inch sacks out of a dark satin fabric. For each pillow, mix 1 cup flax seed with 10 drops lavender essential oil. Fill sacks half-full with the mixture and sew them up. The pillow blocks light and the scent calms the spirit.
If a friend practices yoga, let
her lead your guests in a
relaxing session. |
