After a day of chasing kids, a nice massage might really do the trick. Unfortunately, a day at the spa isn't always in the budget or the schedule when you have a family. Luckily, you can still give your partner the benefit of a relaxing massage. Here are some massage oils that you can make at home. You can use them to give your partner a spa day right in the luxury of your own home.
Lavender Stress-Relief Oil
Taking care of kids all day can be extremely stressful. You can help your partner relax by using this simple stress-relief massage oil.
Supplies You'll Need
Dark glass bottle with lid
15 drops lavender essential oil
15 drops of orange essential oil
5 drops of marjoram essential oil
4 drops of clary sage essential oil
½ cup of jojoba oil
Warm water
Directions
Pour all of the ingredients into your glass bottle and shake well to combine.
Set the bottle aside for about 24 hours. This will allow the oils to properly combine.
Before beginning the massage, place a towel in warm water.
Pour a small amount of the oil into the palm of your hands and begin massaging your partner's back.
Now place the warm towel over their back and leave it there for about 15 minutes.
Repeat the process over their entire body.
Lemon and Lavender Foot Massage Oil
While you're pampering your partner, don't forget about their feet. The feet take the brunt of the daily activity, especially if your partner is busy chasing toddlers all day.
Supplies You'll Need
Dark glass bottle with lid
¼ cup of jojoba oil
5 drops each of lavender and lemon essential oils
Warm towel
Directions
Carefully pour your jojoba oil and essential oils into your glass bottle.
Place lid on bottle and shake well to combine the oils.
Set aside for about 24 hours to cure the oils.
Pour a small amount of oil onto your partner's feet and massage well.
Be sure to get between their toes and on the soles of their feet to improve circulation.
Wrap their feet with the warm towel and have them relax for about 15 minutes.
Spa dates aren't always in the budget, but that doesn't mean you can't pamper your partner right at home. You can use these homemade massage oils to give your partner the pampering they deserve.

Since then, I have gone for weekly massages and have had every type of massage available to me at the spa that I visit. Read on to learn all about what to expect during your first massage and a short description of each type of massage.
