Home is where the spa is: my teen’s thoughtful gift

Imagine this: your teenage daughter, who's usually scrolling through her phone, transforming your home into a day spa for Mother's Day!

Last year, that's exactly what happened to me. My daughter surprised me with the most thoughtful and relaxing pampering experience, which was every bit as fantastic as a fancy salon–in fact, I would say better, as it was so much more relaxing in the comfort of my own home.

She purchased all the necessary items including soft white robes, towels, Epson salts, foot scrub, foot creams, essential oils, facial cleanser, mask, and creams. To complete the ambience, she set up the home office as a tranquil sanctuary, with repurposed laundry tubs as warm foot spas, a scented candle, soothing music, and even a relaxing virtual fireplace video streaming from YouTube on the TV.

We enjoyed our mother-daughter time together so much that it has become a monthly tradition that we share throughout the year–just us girls enjoying some quality self-care time!

If you want to do something special and unique for Mother’s Day this year, I highly suggest giving this idea a try. As a mom, it made me feel incredibly special and loved.
