What a wonderful relaxing treat for your feet! My daughter is a dancer and a waitress and she was in heaven while soaking her tired feet in this fragrant bath. Thanks for sharing this! -
The hardest part of this was allowing myself the "permission" to sit down. :D Thanks for the great "recipe"...now, for the pedicure! -
My feet were in the mood to be treated like a queen's tonight and I just knew this was the recipe for them:) I'm so glad I made the right choice because right now, I'm feeling just like a Queen:) My feet feel so soft, smooth, clean and smell so good, you'd want to kiss them:))Now about the substitutions and additions I made to the recipe. I used rose essential oil as a substitute for the peppermint extract{personal preference and the mood for roses, I guess!}. In addition to the epsom salts, I used 1 tbsp.{i.e., 1 capful} of Lavender bath salts{something which I'd bought 3 months back and had been dying to try!} I also scrubbed my feet with Freeman Simplified Beauty Bare Foot Creamy Pumice Foot Scrub after soaking them for about 25 minutes in hot water. Felt absolutely awesome. I finished this foot soak by massaging some Freeman Simplified Beauty Bare Foot Invigorating Peppermint and Plum Softening Foot Lotion into my feet. After having enjoyed this tonight, I think I am addicted to this non-food recipe;). This recipe was also appreciated by my brother{believe it or not!} who forced me to open the door to my room and decided to be my guest and use my Con Air Pedicure Bath to soak his feet. LOL. Well I told him now he was going to be my sister:)) He enjoyed the foot bath alot{Note: He has the BEST feet in our family- angel feet is what we all think he has- they are soft as cotton, smooth and very clean, surprisingly, always!}. He thanks you too for the wonderful end to his day. Thanks from me too! -
