Invest in a Comfy Robe
It’s likely that over the course of the last year, you’ve dreamed of lying on a massage table or
in an aesthetician’s chair or in a sauna . . . you get the picture; we’ve been fantasizing about
total relaxation. In an attempt to re-create the decompression of our literal dreams, we’ve
tried perfecting the at-home rituals that make even our teeny-tiny bathrooms feel like spas.
Don’t worry, transforming your space into one that promotes rest and relaxation is as easy
as including these small but effective additions into your own regimen. Soon enough, those dreams will become a reality.
A year ago, you probably thought robes were optional fashion pieces that you, frankly, never really had time to wear. But we’d wager your 2021 attitude has changed slightly. Investing in a cozy robe — or a silky, sexy one — is our new favorite form of self-care. This small luxury can make even the shortest spa routines feel next level — no pants, no problem. Be honest: have you ever felt totally relaxed while wearing a waistband?
Turn Your Bath Time Into a Cinematic Experience
Call us cliché, but spa routines really are elevated when you add in some tub time. We know the topic is polarizing, but we promise we have the secret to convert the nonbelievers. Some people might feel limited to what they can do while in the bath — listening to a podcast is about as exciting as it gets — but we suggest something a bit more cinematic.
Watching a movie from your phone is a safety hazard (we’d prefer not to risk the water damage), but using a projector brings the theater experience right to our bathrooms. Luckily, 21st-century technology is advanced enough to have invented projectors so small that they can fit snugly on a nearby shelf while you get to lie back, relax, and unplug for an hour and a half.
If you prefer to plan a spa ritual right before bed, especially to help you wind down, aromatherapy candles will become your new favorite thing. Nagging inbox? Try a patchouli-scented candle. Need to focus during a prebed meditation session? Opt for myrrh. And if you want to finally catch the full eight hours of sleep you deserve, lavender should help you drift off more easily than a few pages of a book.
Aromatherapy, but With Candles

Beyond regular shampooing, we don’t pay nearly enough attention to our hair-care routines. But if you’ve ever treated yourself to a pricey salon appointment, you know that a little massage and scalp scrubbing can go a long way in chilling you out and making you feel pampered. The good news is you don’t have to go to an actual salon to get the first-class treatment — you can totally do it yourself as many times a week as you like for a fraction of the price, no tip necessary.
Give Your Hair Some TLC
Not everyone can afford to see an aesthetician right now, but that doesn’t mean you should forget about all of the amazing gadgets that usually come with the professional visit. The closest thing to heaven is having a microcurrent facial device kneading the muscles in your jawline or jade gua sha stone unraveling the discomfort in your neck. Even the most affordable skin-care products can feel luxurious with a pro-approved gadget. And what’s more relaxing than knowing your complexion is in the best shape it can be?
