Many of you who have followed Remoair for a long time know that Sundays are holy. It has long been a day for recovery and for finding balance and recharging the batteries. What spa Sunday means can vary from Sunday to Sunday, but one thing is certain, if it's Sunday, some form of self-care is taking place.

But how did the idea of ​​Spa Sunday come about?

"There were people around me who went into the wall, and it felt like I was next in line. The stress came mainly from work and when my eyes started twitching, my memory failed me and sleep never came, I realized that if I didn't If I take care of myself, it's actually me who goes right into the wall and doesn't know what I'll look like when I come out the other side."

It is from this perspective that Martin began to take one day a week to really do nothing but what is fun, relaxing and calming. As I said, it wasn't so much about what was done on those days, but just knowing that Sundays are holy immediately created a sense of calm. We easily do that when we have to plan something. Instead of clearing something from our calendars and schedules, we squeeze in. The first mistake!

With these calm and lovely Sundays, there was now all of a sudden time to take care of both body and soul and a greater interest in natural body care and fragrance products for the home was awakened. Making things yourself instead of consuming products is both more economical but also kinder to both the body and the planet. All of a sudden you have more control over which ingredients are available.

A recurring feature of the spa Sundays are various types of scrubs. They are easy to make, cost little and you can come up with your own variations according to both season and mood. Here comes one of the simpler recipes from Martin.

You need this:

3 dl organic sugar
1 handful of fresh mint from the garden ( can be skipped)
3 tablespoons organic oil ( preferably olive or avocado )

You can add this if you want:

coffee or salt instead of sugar
vitamin e
1 tablespoon honey

Do this:

Crush the mint with 2 teaspoons of the sugar. The longer you mash, the more aroma you get out. Then mix all the ingredients in a jar. If you want a less exfoliating scrub, you can use fine-grained sugar instead. Use the scrub on damp skin at the end of a shower or bath. Rinse off and feel how the skin is silky smooth and enjoy the refreshing notes of mint.
