Fresh and natural spa products to make at home

For this Home spa day you will need a Luxury Spa Box for two. 

Suggested Day for two people:

Prepare ahead by making a plan and shopping for all meal ingredients (see below for meal suggestions). Refrigerate some water and pick out some comfortable clothes and shoes.

Plan to take your mind and body away as if you were spirited off to a secluded mountain retreat. Choose a time when you can have total peace and no outside interference.

On your spa day, wake up naturally, splash cool water on your face, throw on your clothes and do some slow stretches to warm up the calves, quads, hamstrings, and upper body. Have some fruit or juice.

Take a bottle of water from the fridge and head out for an energising walk for at least 20 minutes.

Prepare your low fat breakfast and smoothie to nourish your mind and body.

Start with your Natural Spa™ facial. Prepare your area and follow the instructions together.

Enjoy your breakfast and smoothie.

Now decide who should enjoy a relaxing bath whilst the other enjoys a pedicure.

One person should pour a bath, as you run the water, lay out your towel and robe. Add some Grapefruit and Kiwi bath/shower gel and Unplug the phone and put on your relaxation CD.

As you soak your cares away do some slow, deep breathing, meditate. Try to soak for at least 20 minutes. Step out of the bath and dry off. Smooth on some Lemon and Asparagus body lotion.

The other person should enjoy a  Natural Spa™ pedicure. Prepare your area and follow the instructions.

Enjoy a light meal together.

The person who relaxed in the bath should now enjoy a pedicure whilst the person who enjoyed the pedicure, has a relaxing bath.

Follow with your Natural Spa™  manicure together. Prepare your area and follow the instructions.

Set the mood. Make sure you won't be interrupted. Light the incense, dim the lights. Put on the soothing music. Follow the Natural Spa™ relaxation techniques below. This session should last 10-15 minutes. Put on your CD and begin your session as follows:


Loosen your clothing and remove your shoes.
Lie down with a pillow under your head (on a bed or on the floor).
Lie flat on your back, with your feet about 12 to 18 inches apart and arms at your sides.
Relax and go as limp as you can from head to foot.
Let your shoulder blades go slightly flat.
Wiggle your feet.
Relax your legs and feel the tension leave. Shake your arms gently, rolling the backs of your hands against the floor
Roll your head gently back and forth.

Keep your breathing regular. Never hold your breath.
Now begin the Natural Spa™ relaxation exercises for each part of your body, as follows:
 

Legs
Flex the muscles of your left leg by raising it 6 to 10 inches above the floor. Pull your toes slightly back towards your head. Hold this position of tension for as long as you can, about 10 seconds or until you begin to feel the muscles start to tremble. Then, say to yourself “Leg, release”. At this point, stop flexing it and let the leg drop. Let the leg rest for another 10 seconds or so, saying to yourself “I feel the tension flowing out of my leg. My leg feels relaxed, warm, heavy and completely relaxed”.
Repeat the flex-release-rest procedure for that leg.
Run through the entire procedure again for your right leg.
 

Buttocks and thighs
Tighten your buttock and thigh muscles as tightly as you can. Hold them as long as you can, longer than 10 seconds or until you have to let go. Then release them, saying “Release” to yourself. Pause for 10 seconds or so and focus your attention on the relaxed feeling in those muscles and feel the tension flowing out.
Repeat the exercise.
 

Stomach
Tighten your stomach muscles as tightly as you can. Hold them as long as you can, longer than 10 seconds or until you have to let go. Then release them, saying “Release” to yourself. Pause for 10 seconds or so and focus your attention on the relaxed feeling in those muscles and feel the tension flowing out.
Repeat the exercise.

Arms and Shoulders
Imagine there is a bar suspended above you that you want to use to pull yourself up. Raise your hands, palms upward, above your chest. Grab the imaginary bar and clench your fists around it as hard as you can. Flex the muscles in your arms and shoulders. Hunch your shoulders up as tightly as you can. Hold for as long as possible and then say “release”. Rest for 10 seconds or so to enjoy the relaxed feeling, letting the tension flow out.
Repeat the exercise


Jaw
Tighten your jaw muscles, clamping down on you back teeth. Say “release” and relax.
Repeat the exercise.
 

Face
Tighten your facial muscles into a strong grimace. Say “release”. Rest and focus on the relaxing feeling.
Repeat the exercise.
 

Eyes
Focus on a point on the ceiling. Whilst not moving your head, slowly roll your eyes to the right

as far as they will go, then to the centre, then to the left, then back to the centre. Repeat. Rub the palms of your hands together until you feel heat. Close your eyes and cover them with your hands. Let the heat warm them. Rest, and tell your eyes “release” and feel the tension flow out as you feel the warmth.
 

Entire body
Clench your feet and fists. Pull your shoulders up. Tighten your jaw and face. Now simultaneously flex your entire body. Hold it for as long as you can or until you feel your body tremble. Then say “release” and just let yourself go as much as you can. Lie there and feel the tension drain away. Close your eyes. Let your attention wander slowly over each part of your body, from legs to face, as you did in the exercise. If any area seems to have some  residual tension, tense it and release. Feel the tension draining out of you, but don't worry if there is still a little left. Keeping your eyes closed, stay in this relaxed state for the rest of the 10-15 minute session. Think of a pleasant, peaceful place. You may be lying on a beach, feeling the sun on your face with a cool breeze, listing to the waves. You may be floating in a small boat on a peaceful lake with a soft breeze gently rocking you back and forth. Or, you may be floating in space, feeling lighter than air and totally weightless. Concentrate on the pleasant, calm feelings. Tell yourself “I am     relaxed now. My legs feel relaxed, my buttocks, thighs, and abdomen feels relaxed, my arms, shoulders, jaw, face and eyes feel relaxed. The tension has been released”.

Suggested Meals:

Breakfast

Have something to drink, (non-caffeine based i.e. not tea or coffee) with your breakfast try a herbal tea, water or fruit juice with one of the following:

A bowl of cereal with added raisins, or chopped fresh fruit and milk (semi-skimmed or skimmed) along with one slice of toast and marmalade, using a low-fat spread.

Fresh or tinned grapefruit (in fruit juice, not sugar syrup) with a bowl of cereal with milk (semi-skimmed or skimmed) and one slice of toast with low sugar fruit jam.

Fruit juice or piece of fruit followed by baked beans on toast.

A little reduced-fat cheese and tomato on toast and a banana.

Boiled egg with toast as well as mixed chopped fruit with low-fat plain or fruit yoghurt and bread or toast with jam.

Fruit juice or piece of fruit and a bowl of porridge.

Smoothie ideas

The great thing about smoothies is that you can make them to suit your taste. Just add your favourite fruit, peeled and chopped if necessary, and always take out the stones/core. Add to a smoothie maker/blender with liquid such as organic fruit juice. Each smoothie maker/blender has different capabilities, check your smoothie maker/blender instructions before you begin to ensure the correct levels of fruit and liquid are followed.

1/2 cup of your favourite yoghurt
1/2 cup of vanilla or strawberry ice cream
1/2 cup of whole milk

Blueberry and antioxidant Smoothie

Suggested Tasty But Simple Lunch Ideas

Serve the following meal ideas with either Baby leaf salad, steamed vegetables or roasted vegetables, sweet potato mash (made the same way as         conventional mash potato but using sweet potatoes). All dishes season according to individual taste.

Cous cous or brown rice make according to manufacturer’s    instructions. When cooked drain and add a little Hemp or Olive oil, lemon juice and a handful of fresh chopped herbs. Alternatively prepared organic cous cous can be bought.

Small organic potatoes split into two, baked until golden brown. Then serve on a bed of salad or vegetables, season drizzle a little Olive oil over the top.             Alternatively grate a little organic cheese over the top of the hot potatoes.

Squashed small organic baked potatoes - part boil the potatoes then put them onto an oven tray, squash them a little with a fork then drizzle a little olive oil onto them, season, add a few cherry  tomatoes, then oven cook until golden brown.

Slice of fruit loaf,

Cereal bar,

Banana and oat muffin,
