Instant Bliss

During this season of hustle and bustle, sometimes all you need is a little time to relax and unwind.  Here are some simple changes you can make to your bathroom to turn it into a spa-like happy place.

1. Remove Clutter
Looking at counters full of lotions and potions, a magazine rack full of 2 year old issues and laundry on the floor is a bummer.  Soothe your busy mind and boost your spirits by decluttering.  If a bottle is covered in dust, it's time to toss it out (or, if it is unopened, donate it). If a towel is on the floor, hang it up.  If the laundry has escaped the hamper, it's time to get on it.  Consider grouping like items in baskets and putting items away in closets.  A clean counter top leads to a happy heart.

2. A Bathtub Tray can Save the Day
What would a home spa be without a book or a glass of something yummy? A tub tray can change your life. Add a tub pillow and you may never want to leave.

3. Dim the Lights
Candle light is nice but sometimes you need a little more.  A dimmer switch is a perfect DIY way to make a big impact in a small room.  

4. Shower Massage
Replace that boring old shower head with a massaging head.  Better yet, add a hand shower.  ;)  

5. Make an Appointment
These ideas are great and all but if you never actually use  your home spa, what's the point in having it?  Set aside time on your calendar to take care of you.  Especially at the end of the year, we are so focused on creating joy for others, we can sometimes forget that we need time to pamper ourselves.  So go ahead and schedule some for yourself.  You deserve it!
