Friday Night Foot Soaks

My family loves when we do foot soaks. It is also one of the most popular get together's I have.  In today's busy world, sometimes we are too tired to take a bath. Try a relaxing foot soak. We have weekly Friday night foot soaks with our family. It is a great way to spend the evening and relax and unwind after the week. 
You and your family will love it! Give it a try and have everyone make there own foot soak. Take turns with a scrub and body butter at the end. 

You can get some tubs at the grocery store. The dish washing tubs work just fine and they are $2-$5. You can find other ones under $20.00. They have some with bubbles and massage options as well. We like to keep things simple.  We invite people over for foot soaks and I do a lot of classes with foot soaks and essential oils. Everyone loves them and I help them learn to do it in the comfort of there own home. It is easy and relaxing. I invite you to try it and have included some recipes. I am excited to share some recipes with you. 

Adding essential oils and some Epsom salt is a wonderful addition to your relaxing experience.
