Baths are undeniably one of the best ways to relax. This Lavender Oatmeal Bath Soak is perfect if you want to nourish and soothe your skin.

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.
Self Care days and face masks
I usually take baths, light candles and turn on my diffuser with essential oils. Draw or listen to music.

I have been walking and hiking a LOT. I can be outdoors, but away from other people since our state has a mask mandate even outdoors if you cannot social distance.

I've never done bath bombs and body scrubs. Would love to try. 😊
I'm crocheting for my soon to be Granddaughter!
One of my kids is already back in school via a cyber academy so about all I have time for is reading and taking walks at the local park.
I'm trying to relax by swimming in the pool and just taking it easy.
Yes please!!
No relaxation for me this summer as I try to finish up necessary work so that I can retire at the end of the year. All this while moving 600 miles away to another state.
I am trying my best to relax by doing mediatition apps, swimming, and getting good sleep. It has been hard to relax as I am battling cancer right now and I have been in pain alot so I am looking forward to the day when I can go to the spa, get massages, and get pampered :)
