The kids are back in school and the temperatures are starting to drop. After the craziness of traveling a ton and just doing a lot of running around all summer, Fall is a time for me to take a giant deep breath of crisp cool air and recharge! One of my favorite ways to recharge is to take an hour or two and relax in the bathtub.

I’m talking about a looooong and luxurious bath that relaxes the muscles and renews the soul. You can easily transform your own bathroom into a relaxing spa oasis with help from ShopKo, who is generously sponsoring this post. If you haven’t been to ShopKo lately, you’ll definitely want to take a look around! They have a number of new brands as well as a new look for a lot of their existing favorites.
I found a number of must-have bath items at my local store and couldn’t wait to bring them home to relax with! The key to making any bathroom feel special is fluffy and soft towels. These Hotel by Club Grand towels are insanely soft and oh-so-fluffy and will make you feel like you are in an expensive spa.
I’m all about multi-tasking while relaxing in the tub and love using It’s a 10 Miracle Hair Mask and and Masque Bar Sheet Masks to make sure my hair and skin look as amazing as I feel after I hop out of the tub.
To complete the spa-like ambiance, light a candle like this A&I one in Cozy Blanket. The scent is warm and relaxing and it sets the perfect relaxing mood.

I would love a spa oasis in my bathroom. I think I am going to take your suggestions and try to set one up 🙂

I love this! With three kids, two gos, a husband, and a blog, I need all the relaxation I can get. A home spa would be perfect for that.
Vera Sweeney says
I love the idea of a spa in my own bathroom. I’m all about balancing work, family, and my health, and one of the best ways to do that is to RELAX whenever I can.
Theresa says
I think every woman would love a spa oasis right in their bathroom. We juggle so much on a day to day basis, looking forward to a few minutes of pampering each night keeps us motivated to push through. I can almost smell that blanket candle now!
Kelly || Food, Fun & Faraway Places says
This is a great idea for when you need a moment just to yourself! That sheet mask sounds awesome, I’ve been looking for a few new ones to try.
Wendy Polisi says
That cozy blanket candle sounds perfect. There’s nothing like a good long bath with a good candle and book.
Louise Bishop says
It’s really not as hard as we think to make the setting ourselves. It can be easy to give ourselves that million dollar atmosphere.
Pam says
I love Its a 10 products but I have never tried their hair mask. I need to check it out.

I wish I had time to go to the spa, so I love this idea! I may need to do this for the weekend!

Great list! I would love to try the hair mask! We all need to have a little spa time, and this would be a great way to make your bathroom a nice little oasis!

School time sure makes my head spin. With two in middle school I really need my own spa time, thanks for the discount coupon.

This sounds like heaven right now. I need a sitter so I can relax in a nice bath without interruption.
AnnMarie John says
A spa day at home sounds like what I need right now with all that’s going on. I’d love to go ahead and plan a day of relaxation. These masks sound awesome!
Carol Cassara says
A relaxing bath is what I need after taking care of everything all day! It’s not easy to run a business online and you need a break even if it’s just a simple hour of relaxing with all of these! The masks are really worth a try.
Shannon Gurnee says
I would love someday to have a hot tub with jets, but at least I have a bathtub for now. I would love to check these products out.
Our Family World says
No matter how much planning I make throughout the week to free up some time on the weekend, something always comes up! I guess if I can’t go to the spa, I will take the spa home with me! Thanks for the idea and the product suggestions.
Christine says
I have to admit that I was skeptical about how fluffy and soft the towels would be at that price, so I went to my local Shopko to check them out. You are SO RIGHT!! They are amazing. I replaced all of my worn out towels in both bathrooms. THANK YOU for the recommendation – I wouldn’t have ever looked at Shopko otherwise.
