Turn Your Shower into a Spa Oasis

It’s 7am on a weekday, you get up, rush through your shower, throw on your clothes and head out the door in a hurry. Sound familiar? If that’s your regular morning routine then perhaps it’s time to slow down a little. Sometimes adding a little more intention to our daily routine can make us appreciate the mundane more as it helps us feel like each step of our day is an act of self-care rather than an uneventful chore to check off a to-do list. Meditation, a good morning workout, a nutritious breakfast or even a relaxing shower can help us be more mindful of our daily routine while still getting us ready for the day ahead.

While we can’t help you physically prepare, we definitely can help make your daily moments a little more enjoyable - which is why we’re going to be focusing on the one thing we can do to elevate your bath time routine. A trip to the spa is often a great way to make yourself feel relaxed, thoroughly pampered and rejuvenated all at the same time, so why not recreate that stress-free environment in your own bathroom without having to carve out more time for a spa trip? Let’s dip our toes right into how to get that squeaky clean, stress-free feeling all day, every day!

1. Set The Mood With Essential Oils



Don’t trust yourself with candles in the bathroom? That’s ok, because diffusing your favourite essential oils in the bathroom works just as well to invigorate or soothe your senses depending on your pick. As a bonus, you can probably mix and match them to recreate the scent at your fave spa spot! Fancy a refreshing shower that’ll wake you right up? Opt for scents like lemon, peppermint or eucalyptus to get that spring in your step. Fancy something a little more soothing but no less rejuvenating? Then a grounding scent like lavender, sandalwood or cedarwood can help turn your shower into an instant oasis of relaxation. To prep, simply place your diffuser of choice in the bathroom and switch it on for a little while before you step in for your shower to suffuse the space with natural fragrance.

2. Get In The Groove With Your Fave Tunes



Music just makes everything better, so transform your shower experience into a one-person musical with your favourite songs or inject a bit of zen into your bath times with your favourite calming tunes. Don’t forget to use a waterproof Bluetooth speaker too! Better yet, why not go for our 2-in-1 Aromatherapy Bluetooth Diffuser instead so you can enjoy listening to your favourite playlist and get a delightful aromatherapy experience at the same time?

3. Lather Up With An Aromatherapy Body Wash



Make your shower a little bit more scent-sational with an aromatherapy body wash - and no, we’re not talking about those synthetically fragranced ones that give you a headache from the intensity of the scent. Instead of artificially scented body washes, opt for a body wash that’s scented with natural essential oils instead to elevate your shower experience. It’s a surefire way to instantly create that spa-like vibe right in your very own shower. Don’t know which plant-based, naturally-scented body washes to pick? We have just the thing for you.

4. Keep it tidy



Cluttered bathrooms and sinks are not conducive to relaxation, so it’s highly recommended to keep your toiletries neatly arranged and toss out unwanted clutter. Do a bathroom spring clean every now and then to remove any products that might have expired and consider investing in a bathroom storage solution that fits your bathroom’s aesthetic.

5. Step Out and Hydrate



Don’t rush into your clothes immediately after towelling off. Instead, spend some time pampering, nourishing and protecting your skin with a lightweight lotion or body butter to replenish your skin’s moisture levels. Not all body lotions are built the same though, so do try to avoid artificially-scented lotions as they may be potentially irritating for your skin and sinuses. Instead, opt for something infused with natural scents like our Plant Origins Body Lotion instead. Infused with grounding lavender, cedarwood, peppermint, lemon and bergamot essential oil for a luxurious scent that calms your senses and lifts your mood, it also leaves your skin with a slight cooling sensation upon application thanks to the peppermint in the formulation. It also contains skin-nourishing ingredients such as sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and rosehip oil, all crafted into a deeply hydrating, silky smooth formula which sinks deep into skin without leaving behind any sticky or greasy residue.


Your day may be rough, but your skin doesn’t have to be. Slough away the stresses of the day as you cleanse your skin of grime and soothe your senses with a well-deserved spa experience from the comfort of your home. Caring for your body is an act of self-love so take the time to do it right and your body and mind will thank you for it - so go on, wash up and wind down!
