Pamper yourself with a spa day in (tub soaking and massaging)



My idea of an inexpensive spa day in goes on to tub soaking and massaging. Whoop Whoop. Anyways to check out the first stage of a spa day in click here. This is my least favourite phase because it requires staying in one place but I still enjoy it.

For this phase, there are a couple of things you should have;

  1.   A bathtub 
  2.  Bath bubbles, bath salts, bath rocks, bath foams etc 
  3.  Backscratcher or long sponge 
  4.  Two round cucumber slices or a cotton pad soaked in iced water
  5.  Throw pillow/ folded bath towel
  6.  Soothing music 
  7.  Refreshments( wine, apple sliced into wedges or strawberries)
  8.  Foot mat. 


First off, rinse out the bathtub to remove dirt and dust. You may rinse off your body in the process. Remember the aim of a spa day is to relax. You don’t want to see dirt floating around in the tub while soaking.

Go on to close the drain to keep the water from running out. Open the tap and regulate the water temperature to your taste. Add your bubble baths, rocks, foams and oil as the water is running. It’s better to pour the bath products directly under the water nozzle so it gently mixes the product with the water. After making the bath, test the water with your elbow to see if the mixture is perfect for you.

Ensure you have your towel, your refreshments and the remote to your music player on a surface very close to you. Pack or pin your hair up, get into the tub slowly, lay down and support your head with a throw pillow or a folded towel. Set your music player to your favourite tunes, I go for songs like Sunday morning by Maroon 5, let it be by the beetles, who you love by Katy Perry ft John Mayer, Paradise by Coldplay and one thing by one direction. To complete the spa feeling, put two slices of cucumber or two ice cold cotton pads on your eyes to reduce puffiness.

I can’t give myself a complete massage especially a back massage so I basically use my back scratcher across my back a couple of times especially my spine area, it kind of does the trick. For a more sensational massage, I use a sponge I got from the supermarket close to my house. I don’t remember the name, but it works wonders when I drag it across my back, my calves and my neck. It’s a very good massaging tool.


I lay in the tub for 20 mins to an hour. I listen to music and scream along with the artists, I eat some grapes and tangerine; I just lay there for as long as I want. It gives that feeling of relaxation like time stopped and it’s a blissful feeling. Stay away from your phone and other electrical devices like a hair dryer and the likes.

When I get satisfied from soaking, I use a small towel to wash all over my body and get out on my foot mat to dry up with my towel. Afterwards, I moisturize my body with my St. Ives intensive healing body lotion that has cranberry seed and grape oilseed. I always like to go into a warm room so I always turn off the ac prior to soaking. I always feel clean, fresh and very soft.

Please it important you have a floor mat close to the bathtub, so you won’t slip while you are getting out. Slipping is very dangerous it can result in serious injury or even death.

What does it mean to be complete in Christ?

What does it mean to be complete in Christ? When you look at yourself, what do you see? Do you see someone who is imperfect and lacking in many areas? Do you sometimes find yourself thinking these thoughts? God is angry with me. I’m too dirty and damaged for Him to accept me. Why would God want to be with me when I’m a hot mess. Let me give you a secret, it doesn't matter how you feel or what you think. All that matters is what God has said in His word. His word says you are Complete in Christ! You are whole! Nothing missing, nothing lost, nothing broken! This is not by your deeds or something you are on your own. This is because you're in Christ!  Are you in Christ? Colossians 2:9-10 (NKJV) For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead [a]bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all [b]principality and power. Colossians 2:9-10 (TPT) For he is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. 10 And our own completeness is now found in him . We are co

Smart money woman; personal finance tips

Smart money woman; personal finance tips The Smart Money woman series was really interesting, you should check it out on Netflix . After watching it, I got inspired to share these 5 personal finance tips. When it comes to money many people are going with the flow. But it requires intentionality, we must steward everything God has blessed us with.  I covered giving cheerfully but prudently, retirement funds, and many more.  I don't know all things personal finance but I believe that I am a smart money woman. I hope this helps you in your journey to financial freedom.  Proverbs 13.22a A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,  With love, Bibi 

Righteousness consciousness versus sin consciousness

Righteousness consciousness versus sin consciousness If you follow me on twitter for a while now, you will see that I always talk about how powerful your righteousness consciousness is compared to sin consciousness. I often roll my eyes when I see people discussing if something is sin or not sin. Do you know someone that is always talking about what is sin or isn’t sin? Or have you found yourself saying “I must be careful not to sin today, God help me not to sin” every day? This is being sin-conscious! You have not sinned yet but you are over-focused on the power of sin rather than the righteousness of God that you are as a believer . Hebrews 10:2-3 (TPT) For if animal sacrifices could once and for all eliminate sin, they would have ceased to be offered and the worshipers would have clean consciences. Instead, once was not enough so by the repetitive sacrifices year after year, the worshipers were continually reminded of their sins, with their hearts still impure. &q
