#summerwithkids SPA NIGHTS to ease into bedtime 🧖🏽‍♀️

#summerwithkids #lemon8challenge

sometimes I just don’t even know what to do when I’m mentally exhausted 😴

preschool doesn’t start for a few weeks & I’ve been training and working from home.

but I have found a way to add luxury into bedtime routines this summer.

we have these massage chairs that nobody uses so I propped my toddler diva up with some cleansing makeup remover, a gentle face mask & treated her to cold water from a carafe for her “fancy glass”

I also did her nails and she personally requested for me to massage her feet! 👣

I also put on a classic/neosoul R&b dj playlist on YouTube called “Sunday morning cleaning playlist” at a low volume.

I can get some last minute cleaning or sneak in a face routine whilst she’s being pampered & spoiled to feel beautiful and well taken care of but also boost our connection of self care and emotional maintenance.

I love nights with my baby girl while her brothers were away for a few weeks .

What are some fun spa ideas you do with your kiddos?

Creating a spa night at home can be a delightful experience for both kids and parents. Here are some creative ideas to incorporate into your family spa routine: 1. **DIY Facials**: Use simple and skin-friendly ingredients such as yogurt and honey to make facial masks. This not only promotes healthy skin but also allows kids to enjoy some messy fun. 2. **Themed Spa Nights**: Transform the room ambiance by choosing a theme. For example, a tropical theme with coconut-scented products, beach towels, and relaxing music can add excitement. 3. **Nail Art**: Set up a colorful nail art station where kids can express their creativity by painting their nails. Use kid-friendly nail polish and even apply stickers or gems for extra sparkle. 4. **Relaxing Music Playlist**: Create a playlist filled with calming tunes or spa sounds. This can help set a relaxing atmosphere and make the experience more immersive. 5. **Hydration Station**: Offer beverages in fancy glasses to create a luxurious feel. Infuse water with fruits for a refreshing treat. 6. **Mindfulness Moment**: Incorporate short meditation or yoga sessions. This encourages relaxation and teaches kids the value of mindfulness and self-care. Having spa nights not only provides relaxation but also strengthens the bond between parents and children through shared experiences and self-care rituals. So grab those face masks and enjoy a pampering night with your little ones!
