A Hot Spring Spa In Your Home

Create a Spa at Home

A Spa Day. A rejuvenating experience. I have some tips and tricks to make your at-home spa as luxurious as a hot spring spa. The Anespa DX produces healthy ionized mineral water, which is like taking a bath in a hot spring spa -- at home! With these tips you can enjoy a spa day every day but especially when you’ve had a rough week and are feeling a little rough around the edges.

Set the Mood With Lighting.

I know in my bathroom there is one light, a very bright light at that.  Not the right ambiance for relaxing. So, I bring in a regular side table lamp, set it on my vanity and use these bulbs that give a nice amber glow.

Of course, enough can't be said about a few flickering candles set about the room. I find soft scents like fresh linen or basil, lime and mandarin by LuLu Candles are super relaxing.  These candles are highly scented, they don't smoke when they are burning, are made from soy and last a really long time.  

 

 Bath Bombs or Bubble Bar?

The bubble bar makes foam (bubbles on top of the water), while the bomb makes fizz (bubbles in/under the water).  A bomb is a bath fizzy (effervescent additive) in the form of a single-use tablet.

There have been some products that both fizz & foam, but they're wasteful because the best conditions for producing foam are the worst for enjoying fizz.  A fizzy is meant to be enjoyed while it's dissolving & releasing gas, while a bath foam (bubble bath) should already be dissolved or diluted as the water is aerated.

I recommend bath bombs and bubble bars that are infused with essential oils and moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter, coconut extract, and milk essence. My favorites are from Body & Earth.  I do NOT recommend charcoal bath bombs!  Unless you feel like scrubbing out your tub immediately following your soak, and I think that totally ruins the mood!  I had a horrible experience with a charcoal bath bomb and will never ever use one again. I spent about 45 minutes after my soak, scrubbing the black ring on the surface of my tub. Not to mention I had to shower afterward to get the black off my body. I missed a few spots and ruined some towels too! Do yourself a favor and skip the charcoal. 

Choose Luxurious Towels and Robes For The Bath 

For increased comfort, drape and dry yourself with luxury towels that have high thread count and which ensure softness and absorbency with each use.

I received these towels as a birthday gift, and hands down, they are the most luxurious towels I have ever owned! You won't be disappointed.

Similarly, invest in quality robes that make you every inch of royalty with their plush linings and comfortable terry cotton fabric.

Stock Up On Body And Bath Tools

Whether you’re inviting friends over for a spa party or simply stocking up for your own regular sessions, you can benefit a lot from purchasing body and bath kits.  Check out Christmas, Mother's Day & Valentine's Day clearance sales for ridiculously reduced sets that include everything you need for a wonderful spa experience.  I especially like the ones that come as a set that includes shower gel, body lotion, bath salts, sponge, and a bath puff.  

Missed the sales? This is a great set that includes a microfiber towel, back scrubber, pumice stone, and a body sponge all neatly packed in a handmade weaved basket.

Add a Little Greenery 

Step up your spa experience and add some succulents, ferns or ivies to your bathroom.  They'll love the humidity, work well with low light and most are super easy to care for.  Studies have shown that indoor plants boost mood, productivity, concentration, and creativity. They reduce stress, fatigue, and even lessen the chance of sore throats and colds by cleaning indoor air by absorbing toxins, increasing humidity and producing oxygen. 

 

The Must-Have Caddy!

No spa experience is complete without the caddy.  Mine holds my book or tablet, a glass of wine, and all my toiletries.  What more could a girl ask for?   I mean just look at this thing!  My heart is so happy.  When it not in use, it stores all those extra bath essentials and looks pretty adorable doing so. 

Masks

While you're soaking your skin in essential oils to soften and sooth, don't forget to treat your hair to a silkening keratin treatment, your face in a cleansing clay mask and your lips in an exfoliating balm.  Treat your entire self to the full spa experience! The Anespa 

Ensures removal of virtually 100% of residual chlorine.

The cartridge purification system ensures removal of virtually 100% of all residual chlorine and bacteria, leaving you with a fresh, invigorating feeling.

  

Finally, Complete Your Best Home Spa Experience With Mineral Water Produced by the Anespa DX Shower Filter.

Treat yourself to a soothing hot spring experience with the ANESPA DX! With an abundant flow of mineralized water and a relaxing massage shower head, your bathroom can instantly turn into a calming hot spring oasis. The Anespa DX generates mineral ion water for your bath or shower. 

Plain water often has a dehydrating effect on skin, but mineral water is rich in silica which helps to soothe irritations, particularly rough, dry skin. Soaking in mineral hot springs is often prescribed by physicians and naturopaths in Europe and Japan where holistic healing is more readily embraced.

According to the National Sleep Foundation we begin to feel sleepy when our body temperature drops. For all-natural sleep aid, you can encourage the effect with a warm bath or and an evening hot springs soak. The contrast between the warmth and coolness of your bedroom will help induce a restful night’s sleep.

Each of the minerals found in the Anesap mineral waters has health and healing benefits. During a soaking session, the body absorbs microscopic quantities through the skin, the body’s largest organ. 

It’s no secret that immersing yourself in hot water will almost instantly reduce stress. The heat naturally coaxes tense muscles to loosen up which in turn promotes feelings of calm, wellbeing and tranquility.


The ceramic balls from the Futama Hot Springs contain Tufa (extracted from the hot springs), which metabolizes when hardened and provides a relaxing and therapeutic hot spring effect. In other words, it'll feel like you're actually soaking at the Futamata Hot Springs in the comfort of your own home!  The MIC stones within the ceramic balls are rich in minerals and purifies your water while absorbing toxic substances. These stones generate mildly alkaline water - which is beneficial for the skin.  The Chikutan Ceramic balls help to clean the air while generating strong negative-ions that provide a relaxing and soothing effect.  All together, these features will work to protect your skin, hair, and will UPGRADE your beauty lifestyle to the next level!

You Can Work From Home

 

 

You know the grind. 

Get up, let the dogs out, take a shower, get dressed, paint your face, get the kids up, get them dressed, feed the kids, feed the dogs, pack your bags, kiss your husband and head out the door in 1.5 hours flat! 

It’s a very stressful start to the day. 

And it doesn’t end there…

The traffic jam.  The irritating co-workers and the bossy boss. Deadlines, meetings, computer issues!

Pick up the kids, the traffic jam, cook dinner, finish homework, do the dishes, make lunches and pack bags for tomorrow, bathe the kids, read bedtime stories and crash into your own bed.   

5 Days a Week! What kind of life is that? 

What if you could enjoy your coffee, walk your kids to school with the dog, work from a home office, walk your kids home, bake some cookies, enjoy dinner & even homework.   

But how do you start?

Don’t get too overwhelmed when you’re no longer happy with your job. Calm yourself and think. Plan your way to working from home. Its a big leap but lots of people do it every day and you can too.  And yes, It is possible to make money now.

The company that I work for is listed as #15 out of the top 100 Network Marketing Companies of 2019. More about that later…. 

1 -Don’t quit your job too soon!

I have seen this before where someone gets fired up and act fast. My suggestion is don’t quit your job too soon. You can start a home-based business in an afternoon, and with little comparative cost outlay.

Opening a storefront or traditional business will require much more planning, far more expense, and way more time. The risks with traditional businesses are often far greater than what home-based networkers and entrepreneurs will experience. 

Just like any business can grow and thrive, a networking program can too. I know many successful marketers. Some of the things they bring to their home-based business are the same things any business owner brings to theirs.

Three key attributes of any successful network marketer that I know:

  1. Matched with a product or service that they identify with.
  2. Unwavering commitment, and not just to their own success, but to building success in others (team building).
  3. Able to manage their own time (there are no short cuts, and no get rich quick loopholes, just hard work).

Once you decide on a company you need to commit to a daily plan and routine and a “Daily Method of Operation”. 

2 – Get up, get dressed, and “go” to work

Just because you work from home doesn’t mean you get to spend the day in your jammies. Pajamas for me signals rest and relaxation and you really have to understand how this plays into your subconsciousness.  The same routine should start your day whether you work from home or work in an office building. Get up, get dressed and “go” to work. There is no need for dresses or suits and ties but skip the pajamas and sweats. 

3 – Have a clean, work-specific area

Remember my comfy seat on the couch? I love it, but it’s not productive.  My body is in an uncomfortable position and I end up with more aches and pains after sitting there for a few hours.   I’ve tried the kitchen island and the dining room table. Nothing is as productive as a dedicated office space.

A clean desk, a large computer screen, a nice desk chair, and a door that closes means I can focus. When I’m sitting there I know my goal is to work and I don’t feel guilty for doing it. I know that I get more done, quickly, so I can get back to spending time with the people I love.  Plus it signals to the family that I am “working”. 

4 – Set a real work schedule and stick to it

If you have ever worked from home, you know saying, “I need to work on this project for 3 hours at some point today,” either leaves you up working at 10 pm or pushing your project off until tomorrow.  Set a real-time when you are, “at the office.” Fit everything else around that schedule the same way you would if you went to a physical office.

By designating specific hours, you signal to your brain you have a deadline. Having work hours is, in essence, like setting a timer for yourself. Your brain translates the end of the workday as a deadline, and that makes it more likely that you will work quickly and get your work done.

5 – Limit distractions and practice focus

Create a second login for your computer.  You know the “login as guest” option on your computer? Create another account for your working from home profile.  This way I can remove all social networks from my toolbar bookmarks. Even if I don't mean to browse them, some uncontrollable impulse subconsciously clicks on them when I experience downtime. You can get sucked in without knowing it -- and you know you can an hour can go by so fast when you just wanted to reply to your friend Jane real quick.  

So, I eliminated that gateway to those networks and it definitely helps keeps me on track."Another good practice is to set small goals. Turn off notifications on your phone and computer, put headphones on with music that helps you focus and set a timer for a small task. You can do this!

6 – Your daily method of operation. 

When I first started one of my biggest hurdles was figuring out what to do and when.  Time management, in the beginning, is so important. Either you’ve started this business in your spare time to work at it so it becomes a true full-time income and you can quit your job, or you’ve started this as a stay at home mom or dad and your window of opportunity (naptime) is so short you have to be super productive.  For me, it was building my business in my spare time.

So, I wrote down on a sticky the 10 steps I had to accomplish every day. Create a blog post. Create a Pinterest pin for the blog post. Link to the website. Share to Facebook. Email my team. Email new leads. Email/call leads that require 2nd or 3rd follow-ups. Etc. Once I did this daily method of operation day after day, remembering the steps was easier and I was able to add more steps to make my business more successful.   

7 - Be off the clock when you’re off the clock

One of the most difficult things about working from home is setting up boundaries, especially if you’re building a business. designating specific work hours is a must. This prevents work from creeping into your family time, and family time into work time.  I have a set schedule weekly that includes 1 late night a week to reach out to team members or new customers and a few hours on Saturday --again to reach out to team members or new customers that can’t schedule phone conversations during their workday. 

Flexibility in your work hours is one of the perks of working from home, but you manage it accordingly in order to be the most productive entrepreneur and the most involved mom or dad. It is totally possible, it just takes boundaries. Treating your work as a business is the difference between a hobby and a profitable endeavor.

Now you’re ready to choose your company! 

Here is a little about mine, but you can use the same formula to pick a company you're interested in.  YOU MUST believe in the company and the product in order to sell it!
