Create Your Own Covid-19 Spa at Home

Who doesn’t enjoy pampering themselves with a day at the spa? Unfortunately, with the coronavirus making a comeback the prudent thing to do is to socially distance yourself from your favorite spa (at least in the near future). This does not mean that you have to give up on the mental and physical benefits of your favorite spa. We here at HPFY can show you how you can pamper yourself in the safety of your own home.
