Mom’s The Best!
Mother’s Day is just 10 days away, so it’s not too late to plan something special like an unforgettable ‘home spa day.’ Even if you don’t have a hot tub, a bathtub is just fine, although we are happy to help you get a hot tub in time should you wish.
Whether a bath tub or hot tub, the key is for Mom to enjoy a home-spa getaway that includes a wonderful soak (bubbling if possible), with some spa-quality products at hand.
Home-Spa Getaway Ideas
Music:

Dock for Devices

Mom’s Favorite Tunes
Depending on whether she’s in a bathtub or outside in a portable spa, you will either load up the outside of the hot tub’s water-proof housing dock with a smartphone, iPad or even those still loyal to them, an iPod, or any appropriate android device.
If you don’t have that set up, you can connect your Mom’s favorite playlist via Bluetooth or another streaming service, or set up a portable music player near the bath.
Spa Facial Ingredients:

Spa Treats for Mom
Mom will appreciate a tray of spa-like treats set next to her. For example: a scented candle.
Or how about a mud cleansing mask (obtainable online). Although it may seem to defy logic to include mud as a cleansing mask, it is a real treat. When the mud dries, it pulls out toxins and excess oils in the skin, leaving a truly clean skin. Some spa-quality brands say mud may even help with skin elasticity — and every mom will love that.
Rose water is another treat. It has been part of a skin regimen since ancient times. Made from distilled water and rose petals, it is said to help regulate the skin’s pH level as it hydrates and rejuvenates. Be sure the rose water is made from distilled water to avoid any of the contaminants found in tap water.

Moms: Escape to your hot tub on Mother’s Day
Staying Hydrated:

Fruit-infused Water for Mom
When soaking in a hot tub, it’s important to stay hydrated. So consider adding to Mom’s tray some refreshing fruit-infused water, like raspberry or blueberry (both fruits are known antioxidants).
They’re easy to make. Just use clear cold water studded with fresh berries, and add a few springs of mint.
Mom can also eat the berries when she feels like it, too.
Clean Towels, etc:

Clean Towels
In setting up an unforgettable spa experience, consider including a terry cloth bathrobe and easy-on sandals.
And of course, clean towels are a must. And if you have an artistic bent, it’s worth fussing a bit and folding one of her towels into, say, a swan.
After all, Mom will feel as serene and elegant as a swan after being pampered with a home-spa getaway on Mother’s Day.
Clean Hot Tub Water:

Clean Hot Tub Water
One last preparation for Mother’s Day. If she’ll be enjoying her at home spa day in a hot tub, to make it a great gift, clean water is essential. So if the hot tub hasn’t been drained in a few months, this would be the time to do it:
— Choose a good spot in the yard to drain out the hot tub water.
— Turn off the power at the breaker.
— Attach a standard garden hose to the drain cap.
— After the spa is empty you can clean it down before refilling it.
— It’s also a good idea to clean the filters at this time. Not to worry, with a Bullfrog Spa, that’s easy work.
— You can always call on Best Hot Tubs to get your spa ready for this special day — even if you haven’t purchased your hot tub from us. We service most makes and models.
Best Hot Tubs wishes all Moms — and those who love them — a very happy Mother’s Day,
