Imagine coming home to a spa after a hard day’s work. All the stress and tension that have accumulated in your mind and body will easily melt away if you can create a spa-like atmosphere at home. Transforming your home into a spa is not so difficult. All you need to have are relaxing music and oil burners. Play relaxing music whenever you are at home and burn some lavender essential oils to relax yourself. Install dim lights and lamps so you could choose to use them instead of bright fluorescent lamps.

If you want a better spa experience, installing a natural hot tub is a great idea. You can enjoy soaking in warm hot tub water any time you want and immediately feel relaxed and calm. However, you have to maintain it well with hot tub chemicals and regular cleaning to make sure that it does not get contaminated with anything.

Aside from making sure that these things are well-placed in your home, keeping your home clutter-free will do a lot towards making your home a relaxing place. You could even get in-home massage services from time to time to maximize your relaxation. You could sometimes even host small spa parties for your close friends.

Vanity has been given much attention and focus right now. You can blame celebrities for it, or the media for hyping up the need for beautifying, relaxing and pampering oneself from time to time. You see evidence among the the sprouting of spas and salons like mushrooms everywhere in the metropolis. Even the sales of bath products are booming. The downside to this all is that sometimes due to the over flux of supplies in the market, consumers no longer can tell the difference.

Hothouse Botanicals guarantees that all their products are 100% Vegan, 100% organic, contains no animal ingredients and have never been tested on animals. I am actually drawn to a nicely-packaged bath product and theirs are no exception.

This is their lavender scent collection – (from L-R) the aromatherapy bath salt, body butter, fizzy foaming aromatherapy bath, whipped sugar scrub and soy scented candle.

I love body scrubs, if only I can afford to have it done at spas every week I would. But getting this complete line would be close as I just need to set the mood in the bathroom, light candles, set in the bubble bath and relax in the tub.

What scent do you like?
