Girls Night In At-Home Spa Party

The only thing better than spending the day at the spa is bringing the spa to you! 

A chic way to celebrate with the girls is with an at-home sparty(spa-party). It let's you step back from hectic schedules and unwind with a night of pampering.

Inspired by my time recently spent at The Canyon Ranch Hotel and Spa in Miami, I couldn’t think of a better way to treat my friends than to invite them over for a luxurious party like this at my house.

We spent some time doing yoga and then a few hours pampering ourselves. My friends all loved the time they had and are already asking me how to book their “next appointment”!

This is the perfect theme for a milestone birthday, a bachelorette party or a mom's group event since it's a more intimate and indulgent way to celebrate.

So read on for the tips you'll need to plan a sparty as well as a few light and easy recipes the girls are going to love!

Setting Up the Spa Stations

The most important element to a successful at-home spa party lies in the beauty treatments and pampering.

Set up individual stations with comfortable seating, clear work surfaces and easy-to-view mirrors.

Make sure you have four basic stations ready to go, then add others as budget and time allows.

Hair - can be cuts/colors, conditioning treatments, styling, etc. Skin - professional facials are ideal, but if not try at home masks.

Make up - for a sparty during the day this is a good bet. That way you can all look your best and head out later that evening to continue the fun!

Manicure/pedicure - an absolute must! Hire a few professionals from the local salon and have whatever they need on hand to cater to at least two people at a time.

Stock each one with a variety of products (collect free samples or buy trial sizes to save money) and directions on treatments or makeup applications. 

If your budget allows, consider bringing in a mobile spa to take care of all the details and beauty treatments for you.
