Riverbend Spa Cloth
Hello lovelies,
What are your home spa day must haves?
I love a good bath with lavender epsom salts, wine and all my favourite cleansers and lotions ….. oh and let’s not forget a little bit of Greys Anatomy.
There is just something so relaxing about a bath after a long day of getting things done and it lets me let go of the stresses of the day.
The only thing wrong with a bath is that it eventually gets cold but I suppose this is why people have hot tubs, haha!
Everyone deserves a pamper!
Self care is super important for every person and it’s important to make time for it.
I understand that may be more difficult over the past few months with many of us working from home, caring for children and a decrease in your village of helpers.
What is your favourite self care routine?
Even if it’s only 20 minutes, do something just for you.
Go for a quick walk around the block, watching a 20 minute episode of your favourite TV show or heading to bed slightly earlier to relax and get a good nights sleep.
I decided to create the Riverbend Spa Cloth to add to my home spa moments and I can’t wait to share the crochet pattern with you.
It’s a great item to pair with your favourite cleanser to wash your face at the end of the day and it’s super quick to make for markets!
