So here are 3 easy foot soak recipes for total relaxation:
- Rosemary& Lemon Sugar Scrub
- Organic Rose, Chamomile & Lavender Tea Soak
- Ylang Ylang & Milk Bath
Rosemary & Lemon Sugar Scrub Preparation:
Put fresh rosemary leaves into 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, cut 2-3 lemon slices. Put 3-4 tablespoons of sugar (I prefer brown sugar) into a bowl, add the olive oil with rosemary, squeeze 1 lemon slice and stir. The scrub shouldn't be too wet or dry. Fill a bucket with hot water, add the other 2 lemon slices, some rose petals (optional) and massage the scrub into your feet.
Organic Rose, Chamomile & Lavender Tea Preparation:
Fill a bucket with hot water, add 2-3 lemon slices, rose petals (optional) and organic tea bags. My favorite tea at the moment is the organic rose, chamomile and lavender flower tea from Pukka. It has all the right ingredients to soothe and balance.
Ylang Ylang & Milk Bath Preparation:
Put 3-4 tablespoons of milk into a small bowl and add 2 drops of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil; stir. Fill a bucket with hot water, add rose petals (optional) and the milk oil blend.
Soak your feet for about 10-15 minutes and add some more hot water if necessary. Unwind and let go....

Hi Yasmin, thanks so much, this means a lot to me! I've been planning and visualizing my blog for a long time, but wasn't quite sure about the execution. So I'm happy I signed up for BYW :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susanne, just discovered your blog via BYW, I love the design, it's so serene and simple. Your photos are great too.
