Going to the spa and getting pampered is one of my favorite things to do. Who doesn't love getting a massage or a facial? Pampering can be expensive and there are so many ways to make things at home that its possible to relax and unwind right from your couch. My favorite is putting on a nice face mask and taking a hot bath.
I put together some really amazing recipes for face masks you can make at home with easy at home ingredients.
