Some day, I'll be living in a big old city, and all you're ever gonna be is mean ♥

I love doing my own DIY things at home, and who doesn't love at home spa days?! Sometimes, going to the spa can be expensive, so I've whipped up some of my faves! Hope you enjoy, and if you try them out, leave a comment below and tell me how it worked out!♥
------------------------------------------------
 
#1
Bath Soak
Wash your worries away with this simple addition to your bath. Shake a few crystals into the tub and allow its scent to lull you into relaxation.
This one is from Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Bath Soak in Vanilla Verbena, $16.
 
#2
Cleansing Cloth
You may think you'll get a more comprehensive deep cleansing from a treatment, but this cloth has handles that you can stretch to wash behind your back, under your feet, or on your neck. It's antimicrobial, so you won't be spreading germs around, and the words on its tag will fade when it's time to toss it!
 
#3
Scrub
Exfoliating at the spa is fun, but it's also really easy to do at home! Put a scoop of this scrub on a wash cloth or loofa and rinse away dead skin.
Bliss Hot Salt Scrub, $38
 
#4
Bath Bombs
Popping one of these into your bath will create an instant stir, but to add to the fun, make them yourself at home! Lush has a great selection of bath bombs that are just perfect!

#5
Facial Sauna
You know that feeling of warm steam hitting your skin during a facial? Conair makes a handy mini sauna that you can use anytime. It'll feel especially good after coming home on a chilly day.
I recommend the Conair Facial Sauna System, $25
 
#6
Face Mask
This mask is actually a serious acne-fighter. Plus, there's nothing that feels more spa-like than sitting in your robe with a face covered in lotions and potions.
Lush Face Mask $7.
 
#7
Candle
Don't forget to set the scene! Put on some relaxing music and light a sweetly scented candle. This one also adds a gorgeous pop of color to your space.
Bond No. 9 New York Madison Square Park Candle, $110. nordstrom.com
 
#8
Spa Gloves
At spas, you'll often get a special softening hand treatment while, say, a mask dries during a facial. These gloves will do the same thing at home minus the mess.
Sephora Spa Gloves, $36. Sephora.com
 
#9
Eye Mask
Pop this gel-filled mask into the fridge. Once cooled, wear it to quickly de-puff your eye area!
Dream Essentials Solace Gel Eye Mask, $6. Dreamessentials.com
 
#10
Tea
Chances are you'll be offered a refreshing or soothing beverage more than once during a spa trip, so why not treat yourself to the same courtesy at home. This Kusmi tea is one of my personal faves. Brew up a cup of delicious tea and drink it while you're doing another treatment.
Kusmi Tea, $20. Kumsitea.com

That's all I have for this subject! If you like these kinds of sets, tell me and I will be happy to make more like this!

well i started school last week and it got cold in vermont:( the only thing i like about school is going shopping. thats it.

i really miss the old polyvore sets like this!
we should bring them back! ;D
i used to love making these hahaha♥

loooove this set(:

So I decided to make this set because I know how hard it is for me to stay organized and for other people. So I figured I would put this together for you guys(:
 
{ 1. Lilly Pulitzer Large Agenda - 26$ / 2. Cath Kidston Large Agenda - 13$ / 3. Sarah Pinto Flag Academic Planner - 20$ / 4. Kate Spade Tudor City Large Debra - 195$ }
 
One of the hardest things for me is keeping organized. I'm one of those people who needs to have an agenda of some sort to write everything down or else I'll forget. There is just so much going on in my brain all the time. Agendas (or organizers, whatever you call them) aren't what they used to be. I'm used to the old plain leather bound ones with a simple clasp and some plain paper. Now, you can find them in all sorts of patterns and some even come with my favourite, stickers.
 
Personally, I go for an agenda that is large. That way, I don't lose them and they're easy to find in my bags amongst all of the other stuff. I also like to look for one that is either bound with a clasp or has a hard cover. They're more durable and easy to work with. I also really recommend ones that are spiral bound. Why? When you need to turn the pages, it's easier and more comfortable to write on. Just my opinion though!
 
Now comes the price range. I'm sure many of us have dreamed of owning one of those gorgeous Louis Vuitton organizers with the classic monogram cover. I know I have, many times. But think about it. You pay around 300$ for the agenda base. That comes with one year of paper and a few other little trinkets. Then, when the year is over, and you need to buy new refills, they're something like 75$? That's crazy! If you're looking for a nice, solid agenda that will get you through the year without burning a hole in your pocket, give the Lilly Pulitzer one a go. If you're willing to splurge and purchase a leather agenda that will last you a while, go with the Kate Spade one.
 
Regardless of what you choose, agendas and organizers are the key to keeping track of everything going on in your life. Happy organizing!
