Foot Soak

Today, it felt like a good day to pamper my feet! As we speak I am sitting in a foot soak that I made for myself. I recently picked up the book Organic Body Care Recipes by Stephanie Tourles. First, I did an at home facial steam. Today, I am soaking my feet. I adapted a recipe that she has for callouses to make my own foot soak.

I ran hot water into my foot tub (which I cleaned with sea salt and water before hand). I have a container where I store marbles and sea shells for foot soaks. So, I added the shells and the marbles to the sea salt and water for a cleansing. Mixed around all the above, then dumped the water. Next, I filled the tub with hot water (I added one drop peppermint and lemon essential oil to the soak). Then, I set my foot pumice stone on the table next to where I am soaking my feet, to use after the soak. Then, I filled a cup with half a cup baking soda and half a cup sea salt.

I then set the tub beneath my chair. Sat down and immersed my feet into the foot bath. Added the baking soda and sea salt, and mixed everything together with my feet.

When I am done with the foot soak, I am going to rub my feet down with a pumice stone. Rub in a foot lotion, and then put on cotton socks.

Enjoy!

(p.s. if you don't have lemon and peppermint essential oils then omit)
