have fresh-from-the-beach salt-water hair at home.
Making sea salt spray in your kitchen is easy and
provides that amazing look in no time. Combine hot
water (not scalding), sea salt, your favorite hair oil
(like coconut or argan), leave-in conditioner and some
water-based gel. Apply generously to towel-dried hair,
braid loosely and let it dry. Make this mixture and
save it in an old shampoo bottle, so you can use it
whenever you're in to mood for a fast, easy, and
fabulous hairstyle.
Pamper your feet with an at-home pedi
At-home pedicures are a great way to pamper
yourself - without having to devote time to visiting the
salon. The experience can be more than just polishing
your nails, however. Smooth and renew the rough skin
on your heels and toes with the new Dr. Scholl's
DreamWalk Express Pedi Foot Smoother. This
electronic hand-held device makes it easy to buff away
dry, rough skin, leaving feet looking and feeling
smoother. The user-friendly contoured design has no
sharp blades. In addition, a nice time saver, is that you
don't need to soak your feet prior to use. Visit

Give yourself a fresh, glowing face
Facials can take up to an hour and can be costly. If
you're looking for a simple way to get glowing skin
without spending a hefty amount of time and money, try
an at-home facial. Start with a gentle, natural exfoliator,
like salt or oatmeal. Next, soak a washcloth in warm tap
water, wring it out, drape it over your
face, and let it sit for a few minutes. This helps open
pores. Remove the washcloth and apply your favorite
mask, following the manufacturer's directions for
application, duration and removal. After removing the
mask, apply a light moisturizer. You will feel fresh,
revitalized and your wallet will thank you!

regimen and go sans salon. The right at-home

Keep extra portions of the scrub in a mason jar in your
bathroom and use on dry skin before rinsing off in th
