How to Host a Last-Minute Galentine’s Spa Day

Feb 13, 2015

Regardless if you have a special someone in your life this Valentine’s Day, it is important to take some time to treat yourself and to let your pals know how much you love them. And what better way to do that than with an at-home spa day? We’ve put together a super easy DIY Treat Yo’self Kit, filled with bath salts, body butter, a sugar scrub and a candle. We promise it will make the perfect Galentine’s gift for your BFFs… just don’t forget to make an extra kit for yourself!

Each of the elements in this kit make use of many of the same ingredients, so it’s easy and cheap to throw together. Most of the ingredients are even likely to be found in your kitchen. In our kit we included homemade detox bubbly bath salts, sugar body scrub, nourishing body butter and a relaxing lavender-scented candle. You can also always fill out the kit with a few store-bought items, like a loofah or nail polish.

BUBBLE BATH SALTS

These bath salts use epsom salt and baking soda, which both help to ease stress, relieve achy muscles and relax the body. They also work with the hot water of the bath to release toxins from your body.

Ingredients:
— 1 cup epsom salt

— ¼ cup baking soda

— 1 teaspoon coconut oil

— ¼ cup bath soap (any soap that foams well)

— 15-20 drops of your favorite essential oil (we like to use lavender because it’s relaxing)

Start by mixing together the salt, baking soda and coconut oil. Next, add the soap and essential oil. Mix well.

Line a cookie sheet with foil or wax paper and spread the salt mixture out on the sheet in a thin layer. Leave the salt out for 24 hours or until it has fully dried out. Once the salt is dry, use a spoon to break it apart and put it in a jar or bag.

Add a quarter cup of the mixture to a hot bath and agitate the water to create bubbles.

SUGAR BODY SCRUB

Did you know that honey has antioxidants and other nutrients in it that are amazing for cleansing and nourishing your skin? Combine this with exfoliating sugar and smoothing oils, and you’ve got the scrub of your dreams.

Ingredients:

— ½ cup granulated sugar (brown or white works)

— 3 tablespoons sweet almond oil (or coconut oil)

— ¼ teaspoon vitamin E oil

— 1 tablespoon honey

— 5-10 drops of essential oil of your choice

First, mix the sugar with both oils. Once the sugar is coated, add the honey and essential oil. Mix well.

Place in a jar for gifting.

WHIPPED BODY BUTTER

Each of the oils in this body butter do much more than leave you with super-soft rejuvenated skin. They all work to reduce skin irritation, scars and stretch marks. It doesn’t hurt that they all smell like a dream too.

Ingredients:

— ½ cup coconut oil (This should be just soft enough to scoop out of the jar – not in oil form.)

— ½ teaspoon vitamin E oil

— 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil

— 5-10 drops of essential oil, depending on desired strength (We used jasmine. It goes nicely with the scent of the coconut and almond oils.)

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl using a hand mixer. Whip until the mixture is smooth. If you would like the body butter to have a thicker, creamier texture, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa or shea butter to the mixture.

Place the body butter in the jar of your choosing.

LAVENDER CANDLE

Lavender essential oil is widely known for being relaxing and helping to relieve stress. This candle is perfect to go alongside a long, hot bath.

Materials:

— bag of candle wax (soy wax or a mixture of soy and paraffin wax create a nice white candle that is best for adding color to)

— wick and metal wick tabs for the bottom

— glass jar

— 20-30 drops of lavender essential oil

— optional: food coloring

Tools:

— chopstick/pencil/skewer

— tape

— small pot

— glass jar or metal can to melt wax in

String the wick through the wick tab (if this isn’t already done for you). Put tape on the bottom of the wick tab to keep it on the bottome of the jar. Use a chopstick, pencil, pen or skewer to secure it on the bottom of the jar. Tie the top of the wick around the skewer, and lay the skewer across the top of the jar so it’s holding the wick up straight and in the middle of the jar. Set the jar aside.

Fill a small pot with water and heat on medium. Fill another glass jar or metal can with wax shavings and set it in the pot. As the wax melts, add more wax shavings to fill the jar. (The wax condenses as it melts.) Be sure to read the directions on the package for the type of wax you’re using, as directions may vary. Once the wax is melted, stir in the essential oil and, if you’d like, a few drops of food coloring.

Carefully remove the wax from the pot and pour it into your jar. Before allowing the wax to harden, make sure the wick is centered. If you’re using soy wax, results are often better if you allow the wax to cool slowly. To do this, turn your oven on to low heat while you melt the wax. Once you’ve poured the wax into the jar, turn the oven off and place the candle in the oven, where it will cool slowly. When the candle is fully cooled, remove the skewer and cut the wick to ½ inch.

Once everything is in a jar, create labels for each element of the kit. We put round stickers on the tops of the jars, but you could tie a tag to the jars with ribbon or wrap a craft paper sleeve around them.

Put everything together in a gift bag, basket or box with a sweet note. And you’re done!

In an interview with GQ, Tom Holland opened up about his relationship with Zendaya and how their relationship to fame has impacted everything.

“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya agrees. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom later told The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

Ahead of Zendaya's spring movie Challengers (in which she plays a tennis pro-turned-coach opposite Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor), she watched the BNP Paribas Open Men's Final at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Alongside Tom Holland and her assistant Darnell Appling, who she frequently calls her brother, Zendaya got comfy in a cream-colored tennis skirt, tank top, and zip-up hoodie ensemble. Spring really is here!! My favorite part of the afternoon is when Tom Holland and Zendaya sang along with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

April 9, 2024 — Zendaya Raves About Tom Holland

In her Vogue cover story for May 2024, Zendaya talks a lot about how fame has affected both her life and Tom Holland's. “His [career] changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she says. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”

That star power was evident in 2022, when Tom Holland and Zendaya spent the afternoon at the Louvre in Paris...and almost broke the internet. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, 'Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life,'" Zendaya continues. (She also says that when the museum let them walk around after-hours, "it was like Night at the Museum.”)

This spring, Zendaya can't wait to see Tom Holland in his London production of Romeo & Juliet: "[I] could not be more proud. I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”

April 10, 2024 — Challengers Premieres In London

Tom Holland showed up for the London premiere of Challengers, and got to support Zendaya in the sweetest way. In this video captured at the premiere, you can see Tom and Z share a hug and a kiss on the cheek during the evening. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot during a busy night, and I love how in sync Tom Holland and Zendaya are!

The latest viral clip about Tom Holland and Zendaya also has to do with Challengers. During another Challengers press tour stop, Zendaya's overjoyed to be presented with a bouquet of gardenias. “These are my favorite flowers!” she exclaims. When asked if Tom Holland buys her flowers, she points at the camera and jokes, “I hope he's watching!”

While not every girlfriend necessarily wants a bouquet, every couple definitely has to figure out each other's love languages so they can get to know each other better — and apparently A-listers are the exact same!

October 15, 2024 — Tom Holland Launches A New Company With Unexpected Help From Zendaya

After going sober in 2022, Tom Holland announced on October 15 he was launching a non-alcoholic drink company called Bero. “When I got sober, I started exploring the world of non-alcoholic beers and realized there was space for me to fit in,” Tom says in an interview with Forbes. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier.”

“Zendaya hates beer, like, absolutely hates beer," he continues. And when she helped with the taste testing, a joke helped guide the overall brand. "She does not drink beer at all, and the first round of testing she was like, ‘Wow, these are really tasty’, and I was like, ‘Well, that's probably not a good sign.'"

And at the launch event for Bero in New York City, Tom and Zendaya wore matching shades of burgundy! Z stunned in a floor-length leather dress while Tom paired a short sleeve sweater with black trousers.

October 15, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Why She'd Never Take A Dance Class With Tom Holland

While speaking to Teen Vogue for her partnership with On, Zendaya reveals she'd probably avoid dance classes with Tom Holland because "he's too good, it would piss me off," she jokes. "I would want to take someone who could be equally as bad as me."

"Kayaking, I would choose Tom because I think that, if I can remember correctly, with the kayak, you have to be in sync with the person," she continues. "And I think it would be hilarious because we are both very controlling and we both want to be in charge. So it would be funny to watch us be like, no, we're going to go this way. No, we're going to go that way. And I think it would be a good story after the fact."

I Found The Best Drugstore Lipstick — & I Already Bought It 3x In A Row

Move over expensive MAC haul — I've discovered the best drugstore lipstick that rivals my $20+ purchases. I love finding dupes for my beauty lovers who can't continuously drop a huge amount of money on new products that eventually expire. Since I'm 100% against using old makeup, I'd rather chat your eat off about the affordable drugstore finds I'm using consistently these days.

IMO, the best drugstore lipstick is the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick! Coming from one of the OG beauty brands, it's formula was surprising because I almost expected it to fail. It sounds silly, but trying drugstore brands used to be a hit or miss before social media started demanding that all makeup products stop being subpar.

Since this lipstick passed the test, here's everything you need to know about it — including why I l keep buying it and all the other best drugstore lipsticks I love!

What is Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink used for?

Jasmine Williams

Anyone can say that their lipstick is THE BEST, but that's not always true. So, what's the tea on the Super Stay Matte Ink formula? According to the brand's notes on Amazon, here's what you can expect to this lipstick to do:

  • Glide on easily because of the "unique arrow application"
  • Provide a "perfectly matte" finish
  • Remain "smudge-free" for up to "16 hours"

It sounds like a lot of fluff if you've never tried the formula before, so I scrolled through the comment section to see what other customers think.

What are other customers saying about it?

Maybelline

Most of the customer reviews I read through on Amazon are extremely thorough so here are the ones that stood out the most:

  • "I am really hooked on this lipstick! It's very long wearing and it's super gentle on my lips...Let me address some common complaints among other reviewers and why I think they're wrong...Oil takes this stuff off quite easily, so do some makeup wipes...Secondly, I do agree that this product is very sticky. I have found that I can put my Mac lipgloss on over top and now it's not sticky anymore!"
  • "I’ve purchased this longevity wand type lipstick a few times and I like the texture and staying power. Sometimes I put another glossy lipstick over if it seems drying however it stays very nicely for the day."
  • "This is my first time purchasing this brand. When I say it last all day, it doesn't come off until you take it off! Some might see this as bothersome, but having it stay on until I need it off is the greatest thing."
  • My Favorite Review: "I put it on at around 3:30 pm and fell asleep with it on cause it was a busy night, it was still on the next morning. I had to use multiple makeup remover wipes and wash my face with a good makeup remover to get it off."

My Review For Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick

Jasmine Williams

I used to be terrified of wearing 'nude' lip colors because I thought they would be too much of a contrast against my complexion, but watching a few YouTube tutorials nipped my fear in the bud. I make the 'Seductress' shade work for me by lining my lips with a dark brown liner. Once I did that, I immediately fell for the way it looks on me. It's to the point where I actually can't stop wearing lip combo — it's so easy to apply and takes less than two minutes to set!

How long does Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick last?

Before I started applying gloss over my nude lip combo, I wanted to test two very important things:

  1. If this matte lipstick could pass the smudge-proof test. I've tried other brands, and they haven't always stayed in place — especially when eating or drinking something — so I was skeptical.
  2. How long it actually lasts, smudge-proof or not. I mean, who among us hasn't gotten home after an evening out to find their lipstick basically nonexistent?

Like one of the customer reviews suggests, this lipstick has come off a little while eating things like pasta or pizza, so it's not 100% "smudge-free." Given that, I only had to reapply this lipstick once throughout an 8-hour day — which isn't a huge deal to me because it takes less than 30 seconds to reapply it. The best way I get it to stay put is by applying lip gloss and a teeny amount of setting spray over it.

Target

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick

Lately, I've even been adding the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in the shade 'Stone' as a way to truly lock in the color. It highlights the 'Seductress' shade of the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick which is a huge plus for me.

For less than $12, I think it's absolutely worth buying multiple times!

More Best Drugstore Lipsticks

Target

The Lip Bar Vegan Matte Liquid Lipstick

When I'm in the mood for a universal red lipstick that has the best color payoff, I always turn to The Lip Bar's 'Bawse Lady.' She's a gorgeous blue-red that highlights all undertones without making anyone looked washed out.

Target

Revlon Colorstay Limitless Matte Lipstick

I discovered Revlon's Colorstay formula while browsing for a deeper lipstick for fall and it does not disappoint! It's another vegan product that has triple hyaluronic acid and upcycled cranberry extract in it so it literally feels like you're not wearing anything on your lips!

Target

Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipstick

The word 'Fetish' may be off-putting, but don't write this lipstick off because of the name — ha! I typically wear this when I don't want to wait for a liquid lipstick to dry. It's super velvety and also contains hyaluronic acid in it to help keep lips moisturized.

Target

Nyx Professional Makeup Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream

Last but not least, Nyx has never let me down in the lip department before. If I'm truly shopping on a budget, I'll reach for the Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream because it glides on my lips like butter. That's not to say I know what it feels like to rub butter all over my lips, but you get what I mean! It's soft and has a gorgeous color payoff that makes me feel like it's comparable to the best lipstick I swear by.
