D.I.Y. Spa Party (Cassie and Tracy)

Our at home Spa Party Set-up

So we have been busy again, and the blog fell to the back burner. But with school, hosting parties, and sharing doTerra with people, we have had our hands full as of late. We love it that way!

Speaking of parties, here are a few pictures from our first ever Spa Party our mother so graciously hosted. The recipes were simple, and it took about an hour to transform the living room into a wonderful and relaxing spa room. We placed Wild Orange and Peppermint in the diffusers. We had three going so when guest came in and they were immediately invigorated and felt welcomed.

The lucky ladies were treated to a glass of wine, and first went to the bathroom to be "wrapped" the doTerra way...with just Slim and Sassy added to water, and some Saran wrap, guest could detox without all the expensive wraps on the market today. I actually slept in my wrap that evening and noticed the difference the next morning! (I want to try it again and measure myself, but that is a different blog!)

Next we moved to the facial station, where guests could choose from three recipes Tracy concocted using essential oils, honey, avocado, and more! Each of the masks was selected to help with a certain skin issues, and guests loved the choices. They debated on which mask to use for quite some time before letting us rub it on. Tracy placed the different masks in cute margarita glasses for the full spa effect and placed the essential oil bottle next to each mask so guests knew exactly what was in each one.

Hair care was next on the evening's agenda. We gave lavender scalp massages before having guests choose between two hair treatments. One treatment was meant to stimulate hair growth, and the other to give hair a natural shine and conditioning. The scalp massages put everyone at ease and were a very big hit (or it may have been the wine)!

Lastly, we had our guests make their own bath salt to take home with them. It was simple... first they chose a base (sugar, brown sugar, or sea salt), added a carrier oil of their choice, and then some essential oils. I made a lovely lavender sugar scrub that I can use in the shower each day. Tracy swears it helps with back acne and I just love it for the scent! A few guest added peppermint and wild orange to their bath salt to wake up and feel invigorated in their morning showers. It takes very little essential oil, and they were amazed at the way the scent really stayed with the salts. 

What a fun and successful evening, and perfect for our first week of being back to school! Some of our guest did not know each other at the beginning, but by the end were chatting like old friends. That is why I love what we do... we bring people together to enjoy natural and simple recipes and essential oils, we laugh, and we share experiences. 

For very little cost in oils and supplies, you too can have your own spa retreat at home. Recipes are easy to find online or on some of the pages we have linked to at the bottom of our blog. We invite you to gather some friends, have some wine, and use your doTerra oils to make some of these at home treatments yourself! We are sure you will enjoy and feel wonderful afterwards (and that is not just the wine talking!) :)
