As you know, I spend most of my time traveling, and while that’s awesome to brag about, after a while it can become exhausting. I do love traveling but I have also found my happy place at home (and it’s taken me a while to get there). Being able to have first-hand experiences at the most luxurious hotels in every corner of the world is restorative and exhilarating. I’ve always wondered about ways to prolong these high-level experiences, and after years of thinking I got the answer: I needed to replicate them at home.

I have a confession to make: the bathroom is my favorite part of my home. Did you have a long day at work and need to decompress? Did you just return from a long trip and your muscles are exhausted from carrying your luggage? Is jet-lag one of the biggest challenges you have to face when you get back home? These are some of the key reasons why everyone should own a spa shower!

The Waterpik ® BodyWand Spa System is one of the best shower heads I’ve tried so far. It’s like having a luxurious spa at home for a really affordable price. The shower is that «secret spot» at home that keeps you away from your laptop, your phone, the non-stop notifications… it’s the only place where you can truly disconnect, reflect, envision your future, release your creativity… you name it. If you feel the same way I do, then you won’t mind setting up a spa system at home. If you don’t feel the same way but I have piqued your curiosity, it’s time to start enjoying this moment of the day where you really get to invest time in yourself.

One of the features that I’ve enjoyed the most from the Waterpik BodyWand Spa System is its different modes and levels of water pressure. In a city like Los Angeles, where we lack the joy of high water pressure (and I accept and value that), the Waterpik BodyWand is optimized to be as powerful and strong as possible. This is something that my previous shower head couldn’t accomplish. Plus, the shower head on the Waterpik will easily match the look and feel of your bathroom with its stylish design. It really goes with both traditional and classic bathrooms.

You can find the Waterpik ® BodyWand Spa System at Bed Bath & Beyond, like I did and enjoy saving $5 on The Waterpik® BodyWand Spa System with this rebate! Valid 10/1-12/31/19.

The first thing I do when I get home after a long flight, when I’m jet-lagged and my muscles feel sore, is jump in the shower. Ready to have the ultimate spa night at home after a long long-haul flight? Follow these steps:

Set up the right temperature in your bathroom: The goal is that you feel comfortable and relaxed at all times before, during, and after your shower. Don’t let anything burst the bubble. When you get out it shouldn’t be too cold.

Candles: This really helps set up the mood and the atmosphere. If you can dim the lights, that’s also a good idea.

Prepare your «tools»: Body wash and shampoo are the most obvious products to have in your shower, but I also recommend adding a special cleanser for a facial. Nothing feels better than taking care of your facial needs after a long trip.

Turn on the shower and start: The Waterpik BodyWand Spa System is composed of the shower head itself and the shower hand (BodyWand) with a total of seven spa-like spray modes. I always start with the shower head in its default position. Then I rotate it to get to its spray mode that helps with my facials (this is when a special cleanser will do the magic). The PowerPulse Massage takes care of soothing your sore muscles. Use your shampoo and body wash.

Rinse: I like using the BodyWand to rinse everything off the body. There are also three modes here where you can select the intensity of the water: PowerComb™ (highest power), SoftComb, and Gentle Rinse. Once again, if you feel frustrated about the water pressure in your building, then this will definitely help.

Extra tip: If you own a radiator, place the towel nearby so you get to dry off with a warm towel.

You are now ready to jump into your pj’s and enjoy a well-deserved rest.

Final confession: I started using the BodyWand to wash my doggie and even though she’s terrified of water, she hasn’t been complaining lately about the low-pressure mode of her new spa system.
