Relax with a Mimosa

We are all trying to save money on our beauty regimens, but that doesn’t mean you should skimp on “me” time. Even if you can’t splurge at the spa, you can enjoy a day of pampering at home. A relaxing bath is one of life’s affordable pleasures. So pour yourself a cocktail, light the candles, put on some tunes and draw yourself a bath.

The Cocktail Party from Philosophy is a bath time essential. This trio of products includes their multi-purpose shampoo/shower gels in three cocktail scents — Margarita, Mimosa and Melon Daiquiri. These hair and body cleansers smell absolutely wonderful.

You can get The Cocktail Party for just $30 at Sephora. It includes a 6 oz bottle of each product packaged together in a signature box. If you find you love one of these scents more than the other, a 16 oz bottle is priced at $16.

Since you are relaxing in the bath, you might as well as stir up an actual cocktail. Here’s a fabulous recipe for a Mama Mimosa — a fresh twist on the traditional variety.

• champagne (4 oz)

• orange liqueur
• raspberries

Directions:

1. Add chilled champagne to an champagne flute.
2. Top with chilled orange juice.
3. Add a tablespoon of orange liqueur and stir.
