Trees down, just a cold, long winter ahead.

There is such a sense of excitement when the house is decorated for Christmas. Now that the festivities are over and the trees down, the long road to spring seems longer.

Looking into ways to pamper and rejuvenate led to finding the deck of spa treatments cards that can be done at home that my sister bought a long time ago. Lots of nice ideas but some are too fussy and impractical.

Couple of good stand by, go to in a pinch are:

Loving to soak in a long, hot baths sound great but can severely dry skin, add in olive oil and some Epsom salt to detoxify and hydrate skin.

Hydrate before and after yoga and workouts so the body can effectively eliminate toxins.

Slather Shea butter on hands and feet and slip on big old socks to keep it from going all over the sheets and hop in bed.
