Treating Myself: All Natural Home Spa Day!

Home products for Home Spa


I love Avocados!








They have nearly 20 essential vitamins and minerals. This emollient fruit is rich in potassium, Vitamins B, E and K.  Avocado oils and proteins provide hydration and strength for your hair.
Have you ever had an avocado get a little too ripe to eat? Mash it up and Slather it on!

Avocado hair Mask:
1 avocado
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon of olive oil

Mash all the ingredients together.
Wet hair with warm water, then massage mixture into your scalp and work your way down until your hair is coated.
Allow the mask to set, about 30 minutes. Then rinse out. Shampoo after if you’d like.

Sugar and Spice, makes everything nice!



Most people have many of these ingredients in their pantry. Combine these spices and sugars for a clean, bright, rejuvenated, and soft complexion!

1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of almond oil
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of ground oatmeal
1 teaspoon of nutmeg

Scrub your face in a circular gentile motion for about 2 minutes. Rinse and pat your face dry.
You can store the remaining Scrub mixture in an airtight container for another scrub another day.

Don't be scared to try other ingredients in this scrub. I added honey (which deeply hydrates the skin), and a pinch of cinnamon (for aroma). you can add fruits, herbs, or even ground coffee.

So that was my homemade spa day, I didn't even have to spend a penny.
