Discounted salon and spa treatments are common at social-buying and daily deal sites such as Groupon and Eversave. That’s a frugal way to get haircuts, facials, therapeutic massages and the like.
Want to save even more? “Head to your kitchen,” advises a blogger named Eva at the website $30 Thursdays.
Eva and other bloggers suggest that the way to relax is through items like olive oil, yogurt, honey, oatmeal and brown sugar. You don’t eat them, though.
Such everyday ingredients can substitute for pricey conditioners, exfoliants and toners. For example, Eva says that brown sugar mixed with milk makes a good all-body exfoliant. Except for your mouth, that is; she suggests mixing petroleum jelly with raw sugar for a “lip scrub.”
Spring and summer may call for a lot of exfoliating, because more of you is going to be showing. Before a scrub, soak in a warm bath with a handful of Epsom salts and, if you like, a tablespoon of oil. You can use mineral oil (baby oil) or canola, olive or even peanut oil.
Those last three might sound odd. But Cynthia Bailey, a dermatologist in Sebastopol, Calif., notes that the cooking oils show up in natural skin-care products.
Unwinding your nerves
Some people prefer salt scrubs to sugary ones. About.com suggests mixing a cup of fine sea salt with half a cup of light oil and a few drops of essential oil added for aromatherapeutic value.
You could skip the scent if you don’t have any on hand. Recently I noticed sea salt in the supermarket bulk-buy section for 59 cents a pound. Bonus: Salt scrubs are a great frugal holiday gift.
In the article “DIY spa skin treatments you can do at home,” dermatologist Bailey recommends working the scrub into your skin with a loofah sponge or rough-textured bath mitt.
“Yes, it’s nicer to have the spa technician do this for you,” Bailey concedes, but a self-exfoliation is better than no exfoliation.
Watch your step getting out of that oil-slippery tub. Then use a little more oil — olive, coconut, jojoba — as a moisturizer. The soak and exfoliation will “unwind your nerves and leave your skin looking and feeling like you spent a small fortune at a spa,” Bailey says.
From head to toe
An all-over scrub is invigorating, but a facial should be relaxing. It’s hard to think of something more calming than oatmeal, an ingredient in commercial products for sensitive skin. But you can use regular breakfast cereal to make the “oatmeal facial mask” from the Spa50 website. The mix of honey, oatmeal and yogurt sounds easy. (Tasty, too.)
Keep the facial mask away from the eye area. But if your eyes are feeling puffy and irritated, try this chamomile tea remedy from Mary Ann Romans at Families.com. It can be used as an anti-inflammatory compress for your eyes or your entire face.
Romans has a frugal tip for softening hands: When cooking with olive oil, wipe out what’s clinging to the sides of the measuring cup and rub it into your overworked paws. You can also comb light olive oil through your hair (“no need for the more expensive virgin oil”), cover it with a cap and take a hot shower. After five to seven minutes, take off the cap and shampoo as usual.
A few other easy spa tips:
- Give your hands and feet a little attention with the mani-pedi tutorial tutorial at FrugalBeautiful.com.<!–
- Nothing beats a professional rubdown, but you can treat yourself to some simple self-massage techniques as explained by WebMD.com.
- No need to buy “massage” oil when you can make your own, according to Eco Thrifty Living. Even when using cold-pressed olive oil, as ETL prefers, the home-mixed emollient is “far cheaper than the oils sold specifically for massage purposes.”
- Treat dandruff with apple cider vinegar and herbs, suggests Laura Jensel at Livestrong.com. Interested in those pore-cleansing strips but unwilling to pay for them? A supersimple recipe for “DIY Biore strips” can be found at I Pick Up Pennies. “You’ll be impressed (and slightly grossed out) by the results,” promises blogger Abigail.
Note: Some of the items needed for these treatments — vinegar, petroleum jelly, cotton balls, pedicure toe spacers, nail polish remover, Epsom salts — can often be found at dollar stores.

Odessa, TX, May 12, 2012 –(PR.com)– Joe James Salon and Day Spa will open a new location at Parks Legado Town Center this fall. Recently voted one of the top 200 fastest growing salons in America, Parks Legado will be the salon’s second location. Joe James Salon and Day Spa will join restaurants, shops and the 120-room Residence Inn by Marriott this year at Parks Legado Town Center, a 68 acre mixed use development under construction on State Highway 191 in northeast Odessa, Texas. Upon total completion, Parks Legado Town Center will include over 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, offices, and the Sewell Family of new car dealerships.
“We are excited to announce that Joe James Camarillo is bringing his acclaimed salon and day spa to Parks Legado Town Center,” said Collin Sewell, Parks Legado developer. “Joe James Salon and Day Spa has been a West Texas institution since 1996. Their quality and customer service is unmatched anywhere in Odessa and Midland,” he said.
Joe James Salon and Day Spa will be located adjacent to the Parks Legado Micro Park in the heart of the new development. The salon will offer hair salon and style services, as well as complete facial, body, message and spa treatments. They will also offer a full line of Aveda products.
“Parks Legado Town Center was our only choice for a second salon and spa location,” said owner Joe James Camarillo. “Joe James Salon Day Spa is a wonderfully tranquil place, perfect for enjoying the many heavenly treatments we offer. Our customers will appreciate this great location, the restaurants and shops, and the unique, upscale design of Parks Legado,” he added.
The Parks Legado development team including Mr. Sewell and Dallas based developer Epperson Company, has designed the town center with a focus on enduring quality with a hometown feel. Parks Legado Town Center will include Mediterranean architecture, tree lined sidewalks, and the Micro Park to host community events and entertainment.
“Joe James Salon and Day Spa will anchor a great lineup of shops and restaurants coming soon to Parks Legado,” noted Mr. Epperson. “In our quest to add to the quality of life in West Texas, Joe James Salon and Day Spa really takes us forward in achieving our goal. We are getting additional interest from businesses that have been looking for the best place to enter or expand in this dynamic Odessa-Midland market place,” he added.
About:
Joe James Salon and Day Spa: The salon opened its first location in Midland in December 1996. Joe James Salon and Day Spa has been voted one of the top 200 fastest growing salons in America, offers a relaxing and sequestered waiting area for clients to enjoy quiet time before or after their services. Guests can choose from a variety of hair style services and spa treatments including facials, microdermabrasion, body wraps, body bronzing, steam/sauna and massages. They offer a complete lineup of products, as well as bridal packages, groom and children’s services.
Odessa-Midland: With a population of 274,000, Odessa and Midland are among the Nation’s fastest growing small cities for annual gross product and job creation. The area grew 13.5% in 2011. Retail sales are up over 22% and auto sales are up over 23% as compared to 2011. This is due in part by the growth of energy companies and oil service companies involved in exploration of The Spraberry Field in the Permian Basin. The Midland-Odessa Regional Economic Index rose 17.7% since March 2011.
The Sewell Family of Companies: Currently in its fourth generation, the 100 year old Sewell Family of Companies is lead by Collin Sewell. Gifted with the ability to lead and recognize talent, Mr. Sewell is strategic in assembling the best possible team for each project he begins. He leads over 275 team members in West Texas and oversees Ford, Lincoln, and General Motors franchises. Mr. Sewell is active in many philanthropic events, including an annual fundraiser that has generated more than $1 million in donations over the past ten years for the local school district.
Epperson Company: With over 30 years of real estate development and consulting experience, President Don Epperson has managed over $1 billion in commercial development and the construction of 9.5 million square feet. Epperson Company’s track record includes: mixed-use, retail, office, hospitality, residential, medical, and transit oriented development. Among his past projects are the 800,000 square foot Park Lane mixed use development in Dallas, and Hotel Palomar by Kimpton hotel/residential projects in Dallas and Los Angeles.

Millions of moms across the country today will go out, relax and be pampered. Hey, it’s Mother’s Day.
Jamie Mancini, however, a mother of three from Wildwood, will spend the day pampering other mothers and their families.
Mancini and her husband, Rico, are co-owners of Neil’s Steak Seafood Restaurant in their hometown. Jamie, 39, has been a mother for 20 years and a restaurant worker since she was 13. She’s still waiting for her first Mother’s Day off, because Mother’s Day is the single biggest day of the year in her business, according to the National Restaurant Association, a trade group whose latest statistics predict that 75 million American adults would eat in a restaurant today.
“People love to take their mom out to brunch or dinner,” Mancini said. “I appreciate the fact that these people are going out of their way to take their moms out and make it a special day for them. I want to make sure I’m doing everything on my end to make their day as enjoyable and special as I can.”
Mother’s Day is a special occasion in many American families — and in many American businesses, including restaurants, jewelry stores, spas, candy and flower shops, and anywhere else people can go to find gifts or treats to honor their mothers. And in many of those businesses, the person behind the counter or the order pad will be a mother, too, a woman who chooses to work today because, in her job, Mother’s Day is also a money day.
Patti Fairfield is food and beverage manager at Atlantic City Country Club in Northfield and a mother of two grown children. She has worked there for 22 years, so she figures she has worked 22 Mother’s Days. The club’s Mother’s Day brunch does so well that Charles Fahy, the general manager, says they increase their staffing by 75 percent over a normal Sunday.
Fairfield, who also lives in Northfield, expects to be one of “seven or eight” mothers working the brunch, a number that includes five moms who aren’t normally on the schedule for Sunday but who volunteer to work Mother’s Day.
“It’s definitely a good day for them, so they’re used to working and they want to work,” said Fairfield, adding that her own workday will likely run from about 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and “then I’ll pretty much just go home and have a glass of wine.”
Leslie Levin is another mother volunteering to work today — in her own store. She runs Leslie L., a Northfield shop that’s normally closed Sundays. But she opened up for a few hours last Mother’s Day and decided it was a good move. She remembers men running in after church to buy something for their wives in her store, which specializes in jewelry and handbags.
“It’s not big sales, but it’s a bunch of them. It could be a $50 sale. It could be $100. I don’t expect major sales,” Levin said. But, “It means maybe they have never been here before, and their friend said, ‘Go to Leslie.’ … I thought (last year), ‘If I do business, especially the men or even women, they’re going to be very happy I was here.’”
Still, Levin, 55, of Egg Harbor Township, expects to see at least two familiar faces in her store today. She hopes to have sons Shaw, 25, and Fielding, 19, come in and help put up some decorations, then she plans to go out to eat with the boys after she closes up.
“I’m not going to jeopardize my Mother’s Day,” she said. “I’m going to close at 2 p.m. My kids and I are going to pal around.”
For Debbie Cesen, Mother’s Day on the job is nothing new. She’s a veteran of the casino business, which means she worked almost every weekend and holiday for years. But Cesen has worked for the past five years at Cloud 9 Day Spa in her hometown, Galloway Township, and she bought the business about 18 months ago.
As the owner, Cesen feels an obligation to be open on Mother’s Day, so men can buy that last-minute gift certificate and women can get Mother’s Day facials, massages and other treatments.
“When you work in a spa … you should be open on Mother’s Day because it is one of those gifts that some people (give) prior and say, ‘Here’s what we are doing on Mother’s Day,’” said Cesen, 56.
“My mom just asked me, ‘Are you going to be with me on Mother’s Day?’ because she’s in a nursing home. I said, ‘Not during the day, Mom,’” Cesen said. “It’s an opportunity for us. It’s just like being open on Christmas Eve. It would be silly for us not to be open on Christmas Eve.”
And Cesen has another reason she doesn’t mind spending Mother’s Day on the job: Her only child, 19-year-old Hannah, has worked with her at the spa for the last few years, and she’ll be there again today.
“It’s not even a hardship,” Cesen said. “She’s a massage therapist, so she will be doing massages on Mother’s Day, and I will be doing facials. … I’m a mother 365 days a year, and she treats me great 365 days a year, so it’s silly to put that much emphasis into one day.”
But Cesen added that her husband of 23 years, David, doesn’t forget what day this is. She’s sure he’ll take them out to dinner after Cloud 9 closes.
Carmela Rosch, of Ocean City, is a grandmom who will be on the job today at Shriver’s Salt Water Taffy on the city’s Boardwalk. She has two daughters, one in Pennsylvania and one in Maryland, and she doesn’t expect them to come back to their hometown for Mother’s Day.
“I understand. My children have their own children,” said Rosch, who, at 82, doesn’t like to travel much herself anymore. “They spent it with me for many years.”
She knows she’ll see a lot more of their families by summer, so Rosch doesn’t mind working Mother’s Day, even if, in 17 years at Shriver’s, she hasn’t always needed to.
“A lot of families bring their mothers up onto the Boardwalk,” she said, and Ocean City merchants have a tradition of giving out carnations to moms today. “It’s really a happy day, and it’s nice to see that. I see other people happy, and it makes me happy.”
At Every Bloomin Thing, in the Forked River section of Lacey Township, owner Laura Mortimer is happy to say she’ll get to spend Mother’s Day with her entire family, because in her flower shop, Mother’s Day is one of a few days when she has to call in all the reserves.
Today is one of the few Sundays of the year when the store is even open — Easter is another — but Mortimer, who also lives in Forked River, says it’s more than worth the trouble. She estimates her business quadruples on Mother’s Day, even over another normally busy day.
“It’s one of the biggest days of the year, this and Valentine’s Day,” she said.
So her help today will include her husband, Rick; their daughters, Shea and Cassidy; Laura’s mom, Jean McDowell; Laura’s sister, Kelly; and Kelly’s daughter, Irelynn. Most of the above work only on the biggest holidays. Every Bloomin Thing’s normal staff is just three people, Mortimer said.
Judging from 27 years of Mother’s Day experience in the flower shop, she figured she would close the store at the normal 5 p.m. Saturday but probably stay until midnight, putting together Sunday orders. Then she expects to be back in by 7 a.m. today, doing more preparations to open the store at 9 and close about 1 p.m., or when the last customer leaves.
No, that doesn’t leave much time for sleep. “We’re working on coffee and chocolate,” she said, laughing. It also doesn’t leave her in much of a mood to go out and celebrate Mother’s Day.
“We’re in collapsing mode,” she said, laughing again. “I have a favorite restaurant, and we get takeout on the way home. Then it’s take your sneakers off and sit down.”
