Home Spa Vitality by Jo Glanville-Blackburn is a nice little book all about creating a beauty spa within your home with simple and effective treatments.
A very quick and easy read, Home Spa Vitality offers a lot of great tips and rituals that you can build into your life to create a general sense of wellness. I love that the ideas in the book are using all natural treatments, such as essential oils, exercise, and diet. The book includes dozens of quick pick-me-up ideas, and is a great go-to resource.
Because it is a small book, it doesn’t go into great depth about any one “treatment”. Like I mentioned, it feels more like a go-to guide to find quick and easy ideas to brighten your day. Included are tips to help us wake up, detox, restore and more.
You can buy the book here:

Make a conscious effort to notice the little things – shoots of green grass, a beautiful sunset, the rise and fall of a pet or child’s chest as they sleep
