Treat your Feet, $4 Foot Spa

Footspa

Therapy for the feet has long been used for relaxation and stress relief.  With the current economy we tend to leave out some of the extras.  So here is a way you can have your foot spa with out putting strain on the pocket. 

Go to your nearest Dollar store to pick up materials: 

1. Plastic bin large enough to fit your feet and thick enough that it will effectively hold warm water.

2. Two bags of marbles.  You will find them on the row with their inventory for decorating.

3. Baby oil, essential oil, or an actual foot soak. 

Place the marbles at the bottom of the bin, add in about a tsp amount of baby oil or foot soak and fill with 3-4 inches of room temp water.  Then either heat 12-16 oz water up in the microwave in a microwaveable container or on the stove and add to bin to get water to the desired temperature.  Do not put boiling water in bin as it may melt bin and/or cause you to burn your feet! 

Place both feet in bin moving your feet slowly causing friction with the marbles creating a heated foot massage.  Aromatherapy can be added to this experience if you have an essential oil to add to your water.

Relax and Enjoy!
