Great Escape: At Home Spa Day

This week's great escape is all about sloughing off the daily grind without even leaving the comfort of your home.

Sometimes the best escapes are the ones you take without leaving your home. This week it's all about indulging yourself in an at-home spa day, and it starts with a one-stop shop at  , where you'll  pick up the essentials needed to turn your bath into your own personal spa.

1. Bubble Bath: Like everything at Soaptopia, Allota Bubbles is an all-natural, sulfite-free bubble bath made with organic ingredients. Try the Foxy Rose, made with Rose Geranium Essential Oil or the Vanilla Vixen, made with Madagascar Vanilla Oil.

2. Massage Candles: Set the mood to relax, and light one of the Soaptopia inLIGHTin Shea Massage Candles. Then, after the candle burns, take the melted candle oil and rub it into your skin. (Just don't pour the hot massage candle oil directly onto your skin).

3. Lotion: After you clean and rinse, use the Good Rubs all natural skin polish, a rich oil, honey and salt mixture, all over your body. Rinse again. The salt scrubs and smoothes, the natural oils moisturize and the pure essential oils smell fantastic. 

At Soaptopia, everything is organic, all-natural, and made on-site. Browse the store, and you may find another treat for yourself, whether it's new flip flops, an eye pillow, or one of their special soaps. Treat yourself and after your spa day at home you'll feel relaxed and rejuvenated before the kids even get home from school.
