Tips from Housekeeping #4: Small things make all the difference. You may not spray a fabric freshener at home, but you admire it when you check into a hotel, so why not do the same? Simply spray a little lavender on the pillows or use a little incense to give the air in your space a lift. Also, a little order makes it all seem clean. Remove things that cover furniture, put away or line up shoes and sandals by the door or in a closet, and spread magazines or put fresh flowers on a table or countertop. #ChilluxeAtHome

Relax to the binaural beat. Binaural Beats is an emerging form of sound wave therapy that some research suggests can reduce stress and anxiety, promote deeper meditation and improve sleep quality. With this technique, the right and left ear each receive a slightly different frequency tone, yet the brain perceives these as a single tone. Binaural Beats are available in the form of audio recordings on YouTube, Spotify and other platforms that you can listen to on stereo headphones. Try it and let us know what you think. #ChilluxeAtHome

A serene soak can set things right. Baths have been used for centuries for healing and relaxation in numerous cultures. Being in water has an incredible effect on the body and mood. Bath rituals can have a positive effect on the body, mind and even the skin. #ChilluxeAtHome To create your own ritual at home, consider the following steps to maximize the benefit. Create a relaxing environment by engaging multiple senses. Set an intention, light a candle or dim the lights, liste...n to ocean waves or nature sounds, use aromatherapy in a diffuser or bath product. Prepare the skin by exfoliating and stimulating lymphatic flow using a dry brush on the body prior to entering the tub. Focus on slow deep breaths while in the bath to ease the body further into relaxation. After the bath, while your skin is still warm and slightly damp, apply a rich body cream or oil to seal in moisture. See more

Tips from Housekeeping #2: Executive Housekeepers see the nicely made bed, the sparkle on the mirrors and stainless steel, but they KNOW a room is cleaned by THE SMELL or rather, the lack of it. The secret to a good clean area, especially the bathroom, is DWELL TIME, meaning you apply your favorite cleaning product to surfaces and let them do the work (just like falling in love, takes time). At home, when it’s cleaning day, start with the bathroom: spray product on the bath/shower walls, put sanitizer in the toilet, spray the sink and water taps and walk away. Go make the bed (see Tip #1), arrange your clothes and shoes, then come back to finish the bathroom. #ChilluxeAtHome
