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.

who wouldn't love a good spa day?
Since we are avoiding Public places for safety and are unable to take a vacation because of Covid My brothers in ground pool at his house has been my source of relaxation
Meditating, reading on my deck sipping iced coffee
COVID has actually helped to teach me how to relax. Not rushing around to go places. Doing home projects, spending more 'me-time', self care, cooking, cleaning even - it's been refreshing from the craziness I was in with my high pressured job.
