Set Up a Home Spa

When you enter a professional spa, aromas and a serene atmosphere immediately overtake the senses and put one in a "mood." You can easily create the same sensual ambience in your home.

• Turn the living room into a tranquil spa space by floating flowers and tea lights in small bowls of water and placing them on tables. Place arrangements in the bathroom as well.
• Fill a pitcher with sparkling mineral water and limes slices as a refreshing drink. Set out wine glasses to add an elegant touch.
• Dim the lights and play peaceful music.
• Draw a warm bath and season it with aromatic oils, bath salts, or add an abundance of bubbles.
• Fold and roll towels to make them look like a pro spa's presentation.
• Create a display of "pampering products" such as small bottles of lotion, a gel eye mask, and other spa items that many have in their bathroom drawers but rarely use.
