Let's face it: Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs out there. And, thanks to things like college funds, family vacations and, you know, feeding a family, most of us lack the cash -- and time -- for a beauty salon treatment, a spa massage or facial. That's why we asked spa owners, beauty authors and brands for relaxing, DIY at-home recipes to help mom unwind on Mother's Day. All of these are quick, easy and you can make them with stuff that's already in your kitchen.
I LOVE these DIY alternatives. Epsom salts (just about pure Magnesium) really work to soothe aches and pains. Baking soda softens skin and relieves rashes, as does oatmeal.

I would be hard for me to get past the thought that I'm wasting good food. Honey mask? I'll be eating out of the jar before it even reaches my hair.

Very good ideas, but I';d probably visit the spa before doing these.
