Moms Indulgence

What is more indulgent than a day or weekend at the spa? I honestly can’t think of anything. lol

I love to runaway with my girlfriends for a weekend getaway. Enjoying a spa with good friends is such a relaxing experience. I come back home recharged and ready to take on all my responsibilities again. Nothing to worry about for the weekend, but what time my next appointment is. Facials, massages, mud baths and herbal soaks. AHHH, time to plan another one now.

I dislike wondering if the spa we are going to has top of the line customer service and treatments. Instead of wondering, I use Spa Finder. I can search by the type of spa we want to hit, the program we want, location of course, foods and much more. Sometimes it may just be a day spa we are looking for and that is an option as well.

Pick your destination and find many great spas in that area. It’s amazing how many spa’s have joined the directory. And they should rightly do so. As there is no other spa finder that is visited as much. You can also find great spa products for that quick treatment at home.

Whether you’ve had a bad day at the office or had a stressful day at home, there is nothing like stress relief via aromatherapy. What is so distinctive about aromatherapy is the aroma part. That is, the use of oils which provide mental, spiritual, and physical healing. The aroma, which is experienced by using various scented oils, invokes emotions and it is the brain, therefore, where all emotions are controlled. Thus, when trying to overcome stress, the therapy is provided by the aroma.

Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways: scented candles, baths, fragrances, showers, or even a wood-burning fire. It is the essence of the aroma that reduces stress and provides a calm, soothing, and relaxing state.

Lavender is one of the most popular oils used in aromatherapy. Whether used in baths or scented candles, it is touted as being the most important part of any aromatherapy ritual.

While lavender is known to alleviate stress, lemon oil is another healing substance which has similar properties for use in stress reduction. According to studies, it clears the head, improves concentration and memory, and combats depression. It is probably the most refreshing of oils used today.

Another well-known oil which has become beneficial to one’s health is chamomile. In the form of tea, it not only calms and relaxes, but offers stress relief as well. This herbal medicine is primarily used to alleviate anger and anxiety.

Interestingly enough, aromatherapy has been around since ancient times. It was used mainly by the Egyptians, who recognized the physical and spiritual properties of scented oils. Cleopatra would take milk baths strewn with rose petals, and the aroma would contribute to her physical wellbeing. In fact, Egyptians used scented oils in the mummification process. The Scented Tub has a wonderful Goddess Milk bath that you can add rose petals to or just light a rose candle to envelope all your senses.

Aromatherapy has been used to prevent disease, help in weight loss, and treat depression, but primarily is used for stress relief today. Everywhere you look, you can find aromatherapy products. The next time you feel anxious or stressed out, take a soothing bath using your favorite bath oil, and light some scented candles. In no time you will become relaxed, calm, and probably get a little shut eye as well.

Aromatherapy is a very inexpensive and healthy choice in stress relief. Mix and match scents depending on how you are feeling. Watch the candle burn away your daily troubles.

July’s special for The Scented Tub is the incredible Berry Berry set. For only $10.20 you get a 4oz whipped body creme, 4oz berry oatmeal soap and Berry lip balm! This includes shipping!!! There has never been a better time to try The Scented Tub’s products.

That is a savings of over $9. WOW, all three full size products and shipping for only $10.20.

You are going to love the texture of the lip balm. I use it all day long and it gives a very pretty glisten to your lips. Perfect over your favorite lip color. I’m of course addicted to the body bliss in any scent. The berry berry is a great early summer scent before you need to switch to something lighter in a citrus/cucumber. The oatmeal soaps are a perfect blend of a light scrub and moisturizers. I have acne prone skin and I’ve used the oatmeal soaps many times when I run out of my prescription soaps. They are a great blend that won’t dry out your skin, but yet doesn’t leave a film.

Give The Scented Tub homemade products a try. I promise you won’t be disapointed.
