Today, after I finished up my dull schoolwork, which included American Government (horrid), Chemistry, American History (blah), Rhetoric (horrid), Law (ack-chellay ok), and Health (blah), I soaked my feet in a mint soak while I read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (also for school, but I love it). Then I used a pumice stone and a foot scrub. My feet were singing thank yous. After my pedicure, I applied a face mask and eye soothers and reclined for 15 minutes. It was a lovely 15 minutes, daydreaming about being a princess, seeing elves and dragons, etc. Anywho, I thought readers might enjoy these recipes I used:
Honey Banana Face Mask
Mash 1/2 of a ripe banana with 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply to damp face. Run two black tea bags and a washcloth under cold water, squeeze out excess water, and put one bag on each eye. Drape folded washcloth over eyes and relax for 10-15 minutes. Rinse mask off with cool water and pat dry.
Minty Foot Soak
Fill a large bowl or basin with warm water. Place three herbal mint tea bags in water and soak feet in it for 10 minutes. Rinse feet with lukewarm water.
Sugar Foot Scrub
Mix 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and juice of 1/2 of a lemon. Rub briskly over damp feet and rinse.
You'll feel fabulous!
Oooooh :) Sounds like you had a relaxing day. My after school relaxing activities consists of sitting down at an oak desk and painting away :) Cool recipe. And I'll have to check out those books.
