How to Turn Your Shower into a Spa-Like Experience - The Need for Relaxation

2025 is going to be a fresh start for me, and it can be for you too! This year, I’m all about incorporating little luxuries that make everyday tasks feel less like chores and more like moments of self-care. Taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be a grand gesture—it’s the little things that count. We’re all different, so what works for me might not work for you, but here’s my philosophy: if something makes us feel happy and good, it’s worth maintaining to keep that flow of dopamine and serotonin (the happy hormones) going strong. So why not tweak our daily routines to make them more enjoyable?

Let’s start with something simple—your daily shower or bath. With just a little effort, you can transform it into a spa-like experience that’s both relaxing and eco-friendly. Taking care of yourself can start here. Here’s how:

Set The Mood

Creating a calming atmosphere is key to any spa experience. Dim the lights (use candles) - put on some soothing music, and bring in those relaxing scents. A peaceful environment can do wonders for melting away tension. If your bathroom is cluttered with plastic bottles and random containers, it might be time to simplify. Taking care of yourself includes creating a space that feels good, so stick to a few multipurpose products, or at least hide the clutter away in a storage box. Trust me, it makes a difference!

Upgrade Your Shower Routine

Eco-conscious doesn’t have to mean boring. You can enhance your bathroom with beautiful, sustainable touches like candles made from soy Relax Gift Set, beeswax, coconut, or rapeseed wax. These options are biodegradable, renewable, and burn cleaner than traditional paraffin candles. Plus, they last longer! Diffusers are another great option, radiating lovely aromas that create a warm, inviting space.

Want to play some calming music? Go for it—just don’t leave your speakers in the bathroom too long. Humidity and tech don’t mix well. Taking care of yourself also means protecting your tech from damage!

The Power of Aromatherapy

Scents have the incredible ability to set the tone for our day. That’s why we’ve carefully selected essential oils for our shampoo bars. Unlike synthetic fragrances, which can cause irritation, our essential oils offer natural benefits for both your hair and mood:

  • Lavender: Calming and soothing
  • Citrus (Lemon & Orange): Energising and uplifting
  • Peppermint: Invigorating and refreshing
  • Tea Tree & Eucalyptus: Clarifying and cleansing

Taking care of yourself can be as simple as choosing the right scent to uplift your day. Each scent is chosen not just for its aromatherapy benefits but also for its ability to promote hair and scalp health. Whether you’re starting your day or winding down, there’s a Washla shampoo bar to match your vibe.

Taking care of yourself includes finding the right products to suit your unique needs. Taking care of yourself can feel like that fresh-from-the-salon feeling, but at home, every single time.

Exfoliate and Revitalise

Eco-friendly exfoliating tools like loofahs and reusable scrub bags are great for reducing plastic while pampering your skin. Taking care of yourself means giving your skin the attention it deserves. Washla’s exfoliating storage bags, for example, double as a tool for lathering up your shampoo or conditioner bar and as a gentle exfoliator for silky smooth skin. Natural Exfoliating Cleanser Bag

Hydration Rituals

Packed with hydrating ingredients like shea butter in our shampoo bars and almond oil in our conditioner bars, Washla leaves your hair feeling softer, smoother, and noticeably healthier from as little as the first wash. Immediately feel that fresh salon experience in the comfort of your own home every time! Taking care of yourself includes keeping your hair hydrated and nourished.
