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.
Reading and studying my Bible, and meditating on God and praying for friends and family for their individual needs and protection, making money online and indulging in some well-deserved pampering and splurging before my birthday!
I'm not relaxing. Just going for a ride when I can.
Going beach if can

Just trying to stay out of the heat and humidity and enjoy my garden
I have started listening to podcasts and taking time to enjoy gardening while being quarantined.
chilling by the poolside
We are doing a lot of hiking and spending time outside.
I'm making time to read.
Working from home, honestly haven't been relaxing all that much.
Well, definitely less road trips this year... I have been trying to find moments after I get home from work to destress from work. Helps ensure less negativity in the atmosphere per se for my three kids. My kids on the other hand, are stuck at home LOL
This summer, we are relaxing by taking a weekend off with our offroad friends.
Lots of at home facials

I've been watching movies and taking some hikes.
