Alright ladies, now is the time to unwind, gather around and relax. This is not usually possible when one either has children or a busy scheduled job and so on. So it is not always possible for a group of friends to attend a Day Spa together or even go on a ladies night. This is why it is important to do some research on how to get what you are looking for and achieving those results. So the best option is to have a pamper session and ladies night all in one at home.

The best part is that schedules can be checked and compared with each other to ensure the right night is picked, without having to make bookings at a place or concern yourself with a long drive home. So what to do for the evening without spending it at a spa or going out? Do you remember when you were younger how girls used to have pajama parties? Well this is similar to a pajama party without a bowl of marshmallows and G Rated movies.

How to plan your Pamper night:

• Discuss dates and times with your friends and maybe consider the staying over option incase a glass of wine … or two are enjoyed.
• Plan simple snacks for the evening, as there is nothing worse than having to cater for a full 3 course dinner and passing out before the pamper sessions begin.
• Decide on a few DIY Pamper sessions which could include facials, hand and feet treatments, head massages and more. Research what ingredients are required and pick the simplest and quickest ones to ensure no one gets bored.
• If you have a lively group of friends that would want to be entertained during the pamper session, then research a few DIY projects that you could teach your friends and maybe have a few extra ingredients in case anyone wants to create their own project.
• Ensure you have enough pillows, towel, glasses of juice or wine, candles and essence oils. If you would like to overdo it a little, then perhaps burn incense or two to give that spa effect. And always make sure that there are a few packets of crisps or chocolates, as there will always be someone that wants to nibble on naughty nibbles and breaking their daily diets, what happens between friends, stay between friends.
• Make sure you have soft gentle music playing in the background during your pamper sessions but have some vibey music on hand in case the wine starts talking and the girls want to have a bit of a boogie session.
• Enjoy your pamper session, make sure you relax amongst friends and forget about boyfriend, husbands and children just for one night. Indulge in a few snacks that are usually out of your comfort zone, have those extra glasses of wine if need be and in slang words, chill out. Make sure your friends as well as yourself get the “me” time with the ladies that you all deserve.

Wet your hair as normal, massage the honey shampoo into your scalp and rub through the ends of your hair. Rinse off and viola! No need to add a conditioner after words as your hair is already in the process of receiving the conditioning effect from the honey.

Please note that the honey shampoo doesn’t necessarily work for everyone but would be worth the while to try.

Benefits of a Chamomile Tea Body Wrap?
Body Wraps are generally a good way to rid your body of toxins but the best part about a Chamomile Body wrap is that Chamomile is actually very good for your inside and out. Chamomile has a relaxing effect when drank to soothe your brain and mind, so you can only imagine how good Chamomile is when used as a body treatment. Chamomile has a healing and anti oxidant effect which cleanses and moisturizers your skin.

Personally, I recommend having a Chamomile tea with a slice of lemon after your wrap session to ensure you take full advantage of the Chamomile Tea Session.
