Batthroom_into_a_spa.jpg

Who wouldn't love a long, luxuriant, rejuvenating experience after a long, hard day's work? But a spa isn't an everyday indulgence. First off its an expensive proposition, secondly not everyone can afford the time required for a spa ritual. What if there were a way to get a spa like experience everyday in the privacy of your home. Quite simply that means transforming your bathroom into a spa. How do you achieve that? Read on...

1) Shower panels: Shower panels are an amazing way to simulate a massage in the bathroom. Simply because they have nozzles aimed at different parts of the body with varying pressure settings. Who needs a Swedish masseuse when your shower can be just as effective at soothing your frayed nerves.

2) Bath salts: Aromatherapy is an integral part of the spa therapy experience. To replicate the same ambience in your home spa, rely on bath salts. Bath salts offer the exotic smells that you crave with the added benefit of being excellent sources of cleansing and nourishment for your skin.

3) Aromatherapy oils: Also known as essential oils, these oils are the very same ones used by professional masseuses at your spa. Remember that each essential oil is used for a different purpose. For instance lavender and chamomile are excellent stress relievers, for an instant perk up a combination of lemon tree and tea oil is recommended, if you just want to soak in the decadence of the experience, rose oil and jasmine come highly recommended. Stock up on your favourite essences to make bath time a seriously relaxing one.

4) Scented candles: Known to add a touch of class and a wonderful aroma, to heighten the mood, scented candles are a lavish and decadent addition to any home spa. Recommended in complementary scents to the aromatherapy oils you use, scented candles come in a wide variety of aromas from the more common essential oils to exotic variants like clove and chocolate, cookies and cream and the downright decadent chocolate butter.

5) Multi setting shower jets: Think of a multi setting shower jet as a way of relieving tension with targeted, sustained settings that will relieve stress with variable pressure settings that can be controlled by you. A simple twist of the shower nozzle and you can transport yourself into a zone of sheer bliss and tranquility and forget all your worries.

6) Shower gels: The final act in transforming your bathroom into the spa you deserve, will need you to switch from using bath soap to using shower gels. Think of storing these in lovely liquid soap containers for ease of dispensation and zero wastage.

Transforming your bathroom into a spa could seriously increase your relaxation quotient and the way you spend time after a hard day's work.

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation.

Stay in a Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO

Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
