Bath bombs are a fun way to make your bath enjoyable and luxurious. When you drop them into your tub, they fizzle and dissolve, adding beneficial ingredients into your bath. These easy bath bombs from Wellness Mama are great because they don’t contain the artificial ingredients that are sometimes contained in store-bought versions.
Plus, they are customizable – after using a base of salt, baking soda, and citric acid, the possibilities are endless. We love the mixtures of lavender & vanilla and rose & ylang-ylang.
Hair masks are treatments that condition and heal your hair. Good Housekeeping has you covered with seven different hair masks for various hair types. If your locks are dry, dull, or damaged, look no further. Just raid your kitchen and mix up a batch of one of these masks.
The honey, egg, and apple cider vinegar mask is perfect for dry hair, while those with greasy hair should check out the egg white and lemon mask.

Thru covid quarantine the libraries were still providing virtual programs and of course books to check out on line. Like many, I have been reading. It is relaxing to step back from covid, from politial issues - and just get lost in a good story. Not one story I've read had a pandemic woven into the plot line so yes, they were a definite relief from stress.
Learning new ways of healthier eating
I'm enjoying the summer by staying inside with my daughter out of the heat. We're staying safe and enjoying each other's company and cooking.
I'm just hanging out at home.
It's been hard to relax, I have to take care of my bipolar mother and my father passed away recently. I've been watching shows on netflix and taking bubble baths to relax. #SheSpeaksDIY
I'm relaxing and taking it easy this Summer with Covid still being a problem. Hubby is disabled and no longer working and I'm taking care of him. It's hard being without the money we use to have and being w/o a vehicle is the worst. I take warm relaxing baths with my Lavender oil, cold showers, excercise around the house, prepare popcorn/ watch movies on Netflix and go on essential trips to grocery store. #SheSpeaksSpaDIY
I relax by having a nice bubble bath and a movie night.
It's been hard to relax this summer with being very pregnant and my toddler approaching her terrible two's, hubby was unemployed for a long time until recently so we didn't have money to do much or a car to go anywhere special. Thankfully our family members and friends have been very supportive and helped us get out the house every now and then. We went to a river near us as a family and had a picnic, also went to the beach with our toddler for the first time and she loved it.
This summer we are camping the big girl way. Luxury camper with all the bells. Huge bed, big screen TV, air conditioning. We my husband and adult children will be fishing for the big one. It will be a first camping trip mixed with shopping for the gals. Good food, homemade and takeout. Even during a crisis you can make the best moments.
Everyone deserves at least 1 spa day in their lives!
I wish I could go to the spa and relax. It would definitely help my anxiety but nope due to covid. But this giveaway with the oils could definitely help me relax. Good luck everyone
I relax with a bucket of Epsom salt, water and orange essential oil. I soak my feet for at least 20 minutes, to soften them and to remove the dirt from being in the garden. My garden is my sanctuary, where I find peace and joy.
