How to Create a Spa Ambiance in Your Home

Spas give you a relaxing and calming feeling and it feels great. Bringing this relaxing effect into our home has many benefits to our well-being and can be achieved easily without having to do a complete transformation. Here are a few tips on achieving this.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Candles (soft colors, white, beige)
• broom/vacumm
• mop
• cleaning supplies
• essential oil(lavander, eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary, jasmine, grapefruit...etc)

1. The most important thing is to clear out the clutter in your home. Clutter makes you feel uneasy, overwhelmed and it definitely does not fit the spa ambiance.

2. 
    

   Clean, clean & organize. As simple and silly as this may sound, cleaning your home thoroughly provides a cleansing feeling to your life. Organizing gives you a sense of achievement, order and organization. This may sound like a lot of work and it may be, but trust me it feels amazing once you've done it.

3. 
    

   Once you've cleaned and organized your home. Place scented candles around your home. If you can not find a scented candle that you like, you can put a few drops of any essential oil you like into an unscented candle.

4. Dim the lights. If you do not have a dimmer, you can simply turn off any harsh lighting and light a lamp that has softer lighting.

5. Light the candles and enjoy!
