Mom’s The Best!
Mother’s Day — May 10th — is a little over one week away. And we have a relaxing surprise treat that you can give Mom.
While all that’s really needed is a bathtub, with your own hot tub (or a rental), the regular spa experience can be kicked up a notch.
Either way, time alone bathing in hot bubbling water, with a few spa-quality luxury products at hand, will make it a day Mom will remember.
Home-Spa Getaway Ideas
Dock for Devices
Mom’s Favorite Tunes
1. Music:
Depending on the spa you have, you might have on the outside of the tub a water-proof housing dock for devices such as iPhones and iPads.
Failing that, you can connect your Mom’s favorite playlist via Bluetooth or another streaming service, or set up a portable music player near where near the hot tub or bath.
Spa Treats for Mom
2. Spa Facial Ingredients:
Mom will also appreciate a tray of spa-like treats set next to the bath or spa.
Begin with a scented candle. And 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.
Since ancient times, rose water has been part of a skin regimen, so include some of that. 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.
Fruit-infused Water for Mom
3. Staying Hydrated:
Mom will want to stay hydrated, especially if she’s soaking in a hot tub. Consider adding to the 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.
4. Clean Towels, etc:
Clean Towels
In setting up the spa experience for mom, 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
5. 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, clean water is essential to make it a great gift. 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.
If you need help getting the hot tub thoroughly clean, give our Windham showroom a call.
