How to Ease Stress with the {NewNew}

in ,
...or your home spa day- {NewNew} style!
by Lorina/ The Original Beadscarf

So... troubles with the economy, bah! Fussing with the in-laws, double bah! General everyday significant other, work and other stresses....you guessed it, BAH!!!

Here's how to deal with it all, with a taylored home spa day from your friends in the {NewNew} Team:

Start with a soothing shower using Nordea Soaperie's Spa Bar



Next, gently towel off and and indulge in the refreshing scent of Sweet Madarine Lime Whipped Body Butter, also from Nordea's collection

Your pucker needs some soothing too! My favorite flavor is Chocolate Mint, like lucious peppermint patties. Peppermint is known to have calming effects while stimulating brain function. For the perfect combination, try Ayelet's Lip Balm.
End your home spa session with your favorite chill out tunes, and fill a small draw-string pouch with a generous scoop of dried lavender from Glass House Supplies. Place the calming scented sachet on your forhead while relaxing on your bed or couch, breathing slowly and deeply and envision all your stresses melting away...Aaaahhhhh....

Pamper Yourself!

Valentine’s Day has come and gone. This doesn’t mean that it is too late to show a little love. Treat yourself to a relaxing day at the spa by creating one in your own bathroom!

Nothing is better than a warm bath at the end of the day. Lavender is used in aromatherapy to relax the mind and spirit... especially helpful for a good night's sleep. Salts are known to detoxify and soften the skin. Adding salts to the bath water can make this “me time” extra special. Here is a nice and easy recipe for lavender-scented bath salts:

½ cup Epsom or sea salt
¼ cup baking soda
2 Tbsp lavender buds
20 drops of lavender essential oil
Mix all of the ingredients together in a glass bowl and transfer to a mason jar.

Use ¼ - 1/2 cup of the mixture and add to warm bath water.

Breathe deeply, release the day and relax!
