TV Host Michelle Harris Has Tips on Creating a Relaxing Home Spa Day

Michelle Harris TV host of Alive and Well TV has tips on creating a spa day at home –how to create an oasis of relaxation and self-care in your own home.
1.Spray your favorite aromatherapy mist or use a diffuser in the room you want to relax in.
2.De-cluttering your space if needed for a more relaxing vibe.
3.Get your fluffiest towels and robe together and add in some relaxing music. This will give you that wonderful feeling of walking into a spa without leaving your home!
4.Michelle recommends a pineapple-lemon- Black Elderberry wellness shot! Pineapple juice is rich in digestive enzymes, lemon is wonderful at detoxification and Black Elderberry syrup is rich in immune supporting antioxidants (and it tastes great). It’s the perfect pick me up for an at home spa day.
Quick homebased treatments:
Home Facials:
Regular facials are one of the keys to good skin. First, gently clean and exfoliate skin.
Next, every facial needs a nice steam to clear pores. This can be as simple as putting your face over a container that has hot water steaming up.
After steaming, nothing feels better than a mask.
Use a favorite brand or make a simple homemade hydrating mask with aloe, avocado and olive oil.
Combine1 tsp fresh aloe, 1 tsp olive oil and ½ of a totally mashed avocado (it will stay on your face more easily). Apply and rinse after 10 minutes for glowing skin!
The final step in any facial is serums and moisturizer. Apply them and your skin will look like you just left the spa.
Happy Hands and Feet
One of Michelle’s her favorite things when getting a spa treatment is those great gloves and/or booties they use with a rich moisturizer to keep your hands and feet soft.
Wear them with a heavy-duty cream made for the body or hands and feet. Don’t forget the cuticles. Many creams made for the hands and feet will contain essential oils like peppermint. This adds to the therapeutic benefit and smells incredible.
Keep gloves or booties on for an hour while watching television, reading, or relaxing. For super soft hands and feet, wear gloves or booties to bed and wakeup with baby soft skin.
Relaxing bubbles
A tub full of bubbles is the perfect way to relax and feel calm. Research even shows that taking a bath on occasion helps to decrease stress, fatigue and muscle pain. Look for bubble baths with natural ingredients and essential oils. Ingredients like oatmeal and coconut are wonderful for soothing skin. Don’t forget to loofah and exfoliate skin while you soak. Add a cup of your favorite herbal tea for even more relaxation.
“We all need to relax and recharge for our health and wellbeing so take care of yourself!” declares Michelle Harris.
