April 15th usually brings about some nervousness, anxiety, and stress as people rush to get their taxes done. Hopefully you've done yours and perhaps gotten a tax return, so here are a couple of ways to relax, congratulate yourself on finishing your taxes, or to spend that refund. If you owe money, don't worry, I'm includubg some budget ideas too. Here are some head to toe ideas:

Enjoy a hair mask. Pantene has a few masks that I really love to put on at night and let it sit all night. Even though the package says to apply it in the shower and leave on for 5 minutes, it doesn't hurt to leave it on longer. Whether you want a strenghtening, fortifying, moisture replenishing, or just light conditioning, Pantene has a mask for your hair. There is no residue left, but depending on how you sleep, your hair may be in weird positions. Best part of this mask? It'll give you soft, silky hair for pennies per use. A tub should cost under $5.
For you face, you can replicate the spa with just a few treatments. If you have the time, start with steaming your face. 
This facial steamer from Conair opens your pores and will help any cleansers or masks to penetrate beneath the skin a little more. Spas typically have a steamer running in the first half of a facial, so this is a similar concept. Lean over the steamer and create a little tent with a towel over your head to capture all the steam. Steamers are fairly affordable, ranging from $20.
After steaming my face, I like to apply a mask. Everyone has different skin, so find one that works for your skin type and relax. I tried this Exuviance one, but, it is $26.
If you have oily skin, Korres has fairly good reviews on Sephora, so it might be worth checking out. Also not cheap, at $27.
When you're short on cash and/or time, try Clean and Clear's In Shower Steam Facial. It's more a scrub than a mask, but you leave it on for a couple of minutes, letting the steam open up your pores.
Now that the face is freshly clean, don't forget the lotion and...the SPF if it's day.
Moving along to the body, pamper yourself with a bubble bath or a nice hot shower. Perhaps a nice scrub?
Fresh is a brand I love, but really can't afford. I splurged on this lotion, but this $65 scrub is unlikely. 
Philosphy's 3 in 1 shower gel, shampoo, and bubble bath, may also be a nice way to unwind. There are a ton of scents, so you're probably bound to find one that you'll like. $16 for 16 oz.
In your pampering efforts, don't forget about your hands and feet. A quick mani/pedi can really be a nice way to unwind.
When your fingers and toes are soft, add a spalsh of color that'll be perfect for spring. I'm digging these new neon polishes from Essie.
