What a gift to to have others look at us and tell us we’re beautiful, but also to be reminded that it’s ok to take care of ourselves.
1. Bring the spa to her. With so many responsibilities she’s under between home and work duties, the lady in your life needs a reminder to slow down and take some time for herself. So she can continue to pour into others. Treat her to a spa inside her own home with these lightly scented bath bombs. Or to help her relax, Eucalyptus and Peppermint muscle soak bath salts. To get the full spa mood lighting effect, throw in this rose-scented votive sampler.
Oh and one more thing. What’s a spa day without fancy Belgian chocolate or assorted chocolate truffles?
