I love spending my money on books, my family and traveling. (That is not in any order of priority. 
)Besides my rent, that’s where a lot of my money goes.
I’m not the type to go to the spa for facials, manicures, massages and such. It’s just not my deal. I don’t go to beauty salons and pedicures creep me out a bit.
Therefore I make spa like conditions at home and I really like it. Here are some simple ways to do so.
1. Buy tea candles. – I purchase a bag of 100 from Ikea for $2.99. I place these strategically around my apartment and light them all. Turn the lights off and enjoy the serenity.
2. I turn on ambient, meditative, or relaxing music.
3. I treat myself to a facial ala my homemade recipes and a body scrub via the same means.
4. I slowly cover my skin in body butter. I LOVE body butter. I love the scent, the texture and how it makes my skin feel.
5. I fix a cup of tea. Mighty Leaf African Nectar.
6. I do not think. For however long I can sustain it. And should I find my thoughts are running wild, I pull out my journal and I write.
