MOO Lime and Mint Foot Soak - Tuesday 1st December 2015

December is a busy month. I spend a lot of time on my feet, mostly standing in the kitchen cooking and baking, and they get hot, tired and achy. At the end of a long, hot day all I want to do is get off them and cool them down, so I use this foot soak.

This foot soak is just beautiful. So simple to make and so nice to use. It's refreshing and cooling, and revitalises those tired tootsies for just a few cents.

It makes a lovely gift too, packaged in either a cellophane bag or a pretty jar. I found lovely jars at my local op shop for just 30 cents each, I've seen some pretty jars in $2 shops, recycled salsa jars are good to use for this project too.

If you do decide to make the foot soak for a gift, don't forget to include the instructions on a pretty label.

Lime and Mint Foot Soak
You will need:
2 cups Epsom salts
1 cup bicarb soda
4 - 5 drops lime essential oil
4 -5 drops peppermint essential oil

Step 1. Combine the Epsom salts and bicarb soda. I do this with a whisk to make sure they are well combined.

Step 2. Whisk in the essential oils. Add them all at once and then whisk like crazy so the mixture doesn't fizz. If you don't have a whisk a fork will do the job.

Step 3. Pour into clean jars. Add your label, the instructions and a jar topper if you want to.

Instructions:
To use add 1/2 cup Lime and Mint Foot Soak to a basin of warm water. 
Add your feet.
Sit back and relax
