Breakfast! You need a spa breakfast. Have lots of fresh fruit, cut them and wash them the night before. You can make a smoothie, eat your fruit with toast or have yogurt.





While you eat, draw a bath. You need some bubbly soaps (maybe go to lush and get a bath bomb). A mint soap would be ideal. Set up some candles and just relax. Spend half an hour or more reading, meditating or relaxing.





After you're nice and clean dry off and use your favorite body lotion so you smell nice and feel soft. You can start by giving yourself a pedicure! If you have a good minty lotion, you could give yourself a foot massage. You could also use olive oil to give yourself a foot massage (just put on some fluffy socks because your feet might be slippery immediately after). A good massage idea is to put a golf ball or tennis ball on the floor and roll it under your feet. Now that your feet feel refreshed, you can do up the toenail polish.





For your hands, you can dip them in a dish of warm water to make them softer (put a drop of lemon juice in the water). Then do your fingernails and paint them.





Doing your feet and hands can be exhausting, so you probably want a siesta. Light some candles and read some more. If you have soothing music, put on that (like the sounds of waves crashing...one of those ambient cds). You could make yourself a mojito or hot chocolate. If you like icecream, have some icecream for lunch. If its sunny where you live, sit outside.





To do your face, boil some hot water, add a couple drops of lemon and steam your face. You can soak a face cloth and hold it over your face. This will open up your pores. Then you can do up your eyebrows. Put moisturizer on your face as well.





By now you're probably looking pretty good. So call your best girl and go out for a nice dinner (go to a pub and score some free drinks - great mood booster). Don't be out too late, but afterwards, you and your best friend can come home, watch ridiculously girly movies (breakfast at tiffany's, father of the bride, notebook)





And that would be the perfect day for me.





Make sure your computer and cell phone are off. Do NOT answer your door. Just don't let anyone interrupt you.





(I'm really antsy, so my ideal relaxing day would involve hiking or walking through a park...then a shower).





For a good face exfoliator, you could use olive oil and brown sugar! This is super moisturizing and will smell good!





Set up as much as you can the night before. Put out candles everywhere, tidy the house so you're not focusing on the dust bunnies and piles of junk. Make sure you have matches. Put out all your lotions so you're not looking for things. You can go to the drug store and pick up some cute nail polishes, hair oils/mask, face masks (the single use things are super cheap!)





I find a morning walk to be ideal, so if you want, you can go on a nice walk when you first wake up - then the bath will feel so much better.
