Have you ever wanted to go to a spa, but could not afford it?Wouldn't it be great if you could make one at home using what you have?You just need a little time and creativity.You can use store-bought spa products, or you can make your own using supplies from your kitchen cabinet.You can adjust the spa to fit your needs.
Step 1: Go ahead.
Don't take your spa when you have something important happening.A few hours in which you can relax is what you want.You don't want to interrupt your experience if you have everything ready and on hand.In this section, you don't have to do everything.Pick items that appeal to you the most.
Step 2: You should start with a clean bathroom and bathtub.
If you haven't cleaned your bathroom in a while, it's a good idea to give it a quick clean.Give your bathtub a good scrub.The sparkling clean spas make them look and feel luxurious.A clean bathroom will make your spa experience more enjoyable.Turn off your electronics while you are cleaning.Your music player is the only exception to this.

Zen music, nature sounds, instrumental, and classical music are some of the things you can choose.Some channels on popular video and music-sharing websites have spa music playlists.You don't have to restart it if you choose an extra-long playlist.You might want to save those for a different day if you like fast, upbeat music.
Step 5: Light a few candles.
A nice scent will help, although they don't have to be scented.If you're hesitant about lighting candles in your bathroom, you can get battery-operated ones, but be careful not to get them wet, or they will short-circuit.Christmas lights can be plugged in to cast a soft, dim light in your bathroom, but they won't be so bright as to distract you.If you don't like candles, you can use something else.
