Are you in desperate need of a spa day, but can't make it happen right now? Pamper yourself at home with some wonderful treatments and this incredibly refreshing cucumber lime smoothie. You deserve it!

Ah. A day at the spa. Now doesn't that sound nice? It sure sounds pretty wonderful to me right about now!

Let's play pretend and have a mock spa day at home. How does that sound?

We can whip up a delicious sugar scrub to pamper ourselves. Or we can hop into a detox bath and slather our skin in homemade body butter when we're done.

(You can get lots of recipes like this in my book – 30 Essential Oil Recipes for DIY Beauty and Skincare).

Let's all just take a moment for ourselves – even if it's just 15 minutes while the kids nap. When you're done, it's time to whip up a batch of this incredibly refreshing Cucumber Lime Smoothie.

It's like a spa day in a glass when you drink it. It's extraordinarily cooling and refreshing and simply delicious!

While I normally like to make a pitcher of detox water to drink when I play spa day at home, sometimes I enjoy making something that's a bit heartier like this Cucumber Lime Smoothie.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
