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.

Body scrubs help you remove dead skin cells, promoting soft and smooth skin. This DIY Coffee Body Scrub will keep your skin silky smooth this summer.
This coffee body scrub is vegan and has only three ingredients – coffee, sugar, and coconut oil – which means you can quickly whip some up whenever you’d like! Exfoliating periodically is beneficial for your skin, and is an essential step to a summer spa day.
Camping, beach, hiking and playing with my dog.
Not really relaxing but forced to hang around the house while furloughed from work due to pandemic.
A few times a week I ask my husband to take a break from work and watch the girls while I take a 30 minute drive. It helps me clear my head and gives me time to think, dream and grow!
I have been relaxing by taking a break from my work and my kids busy scheduels. I'm spent time with them and being outside.
Focusing on my skincare and taking myself out of toxic environments!
I walk my dog in the early morning when it is cooler and try to have fun spending time with my family.

Going to the lake. Better self care routine on a normal basis. Moisturizing. Painting. Watching movies and cooking at home with new recipes.
I'm relaxing at home by vegging out in bed watching movies and eating on my day off.

It's tough to relax, the news is stressful and it is soo hot. We try watching movies and some good British mysteries.
