In today’s stress-filled world, a visit to a spa can provide much-needed rejuvenation for body and soul. While there is no substitute for being pampered by someone else’s hands, you need not spend a small fortune to experience the benefits of a day or two at the spa. In fact, you can create a near-professional spa experience in your own home. All you need is the desire and bit of equipment.
Your Equipment Checklist
Your first step is to assemble a list of locally available products that will replicate those used in the finest spas. And don’t forget to pamper yourself with classic, elegant spa garb — a luxuriously thick white terrycloth robe.
A home spa experience should include products and tools to revitalize the body, face and hair. Here is a short checklist:
- Long handled natural bristle bath brush
- Loofah or Terry cloth washcloth (Avoid synthetic scrubbers as they are overly harsh)
- Bath salts
- A selection of essential aromatic oils
- Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory cleansers, toners and moisturizers (more on this later)
- Coarse sea salt
- Plenty of chilled spring water (with a splash of lime or lemon) to keep your body hydrated and to eliminate toxins from the inside out.
The Role of Essential Oils
Essential oils, made from the petals of flowers, are extremely beneficial for the skin. In addition to being pleasantly scented, these oils regulate the activity of the capillaries and restore vitality to the tissues. In addition, floral oils rejuvenate the skin, eliminate waste matter and facilitate the regeneration of new, healthy cells.
Never apply essential oils directly to the face or skin. Add about six drops to a bowl of warm water. Soak a cotton cloth in the water and then apply to face and neck as a compress for five minutes. Repeat three times. Gently towel dry the face and neck and apply an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory facial splash and activator.
For sensitive skin, try a product like Sleep Scentsations Aromatherapy Pillow liners infused with natural essential oils to get the same relaxing effects of essential oils without having to have them touch your skin directly.

This is the time of year when people start thinking about how they can improve themselves in the coming year. These resolutions frequently involve things like quitting a vice, spending more time with the family, losing weight, or saving more money. However, one thing that could most definitely improve your health and your life is getting the proper amount of quality sleep.
For the millions of Americans who resolve to lose weight in the New Year, success may hinge on how much they sleep. Studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Lancet suggest that sleep loss may increase hunger and affect the body’s metabolism, which may make it more difficult to maintain or lose weight.
Specifically, sleep loss has been shown to affect the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that regulates appetite. As a result, individuals who lose sleep may continue to feel hungry despite adequate food intake. Additionally, sleep loss may interfere with the body’s ability to metabolize carbohydrates and cause high blood levels of glucose, a basic sugar. Excess glucose promotes the overproduction of insulin, which can promote the storage of body fat, and can also lead to insulin resistance, a critical feature of adult-onset diabetes.
“Sleep loss is associated with striking alterations in hormone levels that regulate the appetite and may be a contributing factor to obesity,” said Michael Thorpy, MD, director of the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. “Any American making a resolution to lose weight in the New Year should probably consider a parallel commitment for getting more sleep.”
Weight loss is the number-one New Year’s resolution in America, with approximately 40% of the population promising to diet. A nationwide survey found that more than 75% of women between the ages of 25 and 54 make diet resolutions each year or most years.
Unfortunately, nearly 90% of the respondents reported either occasional or no success, with almost half losing little weight or actually gaining weight instead.
Sleep Loss Impact on Body Weight
In addition to changes in sleep quantity, reductions in sleep quality can also affect weight. For example, decreased amounts of restorative deep or slow-wave sleep have been associated with significantly reduced levels of growth hormone-a protein that helps regulate the body’s proportions of fat and muscle during adulthood.
“Sleep loss disrupts a complex and interwoven series of metabolic and hormonal processes and may be a contributing factor to obesity,” said John Winkelman, MD, PhD, medical director of the Sleep Health Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “What most people do not realize is that better sleep habits may be instrumental to the success of any weight management plan.”
Sleep Scentsations are a great way to help maintain a relaxing sleep-inducing experience right in your home. Our Aromatherapy liners are guaranteed to help you fall asleep easier and for longer periods of time, which in turn will show you some easy results on the scale! Which Scent is right for you?
