Tired Tootsie Remedy

Daily grind wreaking havoc on your feet? This recipe is just what the SpaGirl ordered. Before you go to bed tonight rub it in and give those tired tootsies what they want and need.

You'll need:
Unscented body cream
Essential oil of peppermint
Essential oil of lavender

Here's what you do: Add 12 drops of peppermint oil and 5 drops of lavender oil to 1/2 cup of body cream. Stir and store in a plastic or glass container. To use, first soak your feet in a tub or pail of warm soapy water for several minutes. Rinse and dry your feet. Then rub your feet generously with the foot cream, lay down on a bed and elevate your feet with a few pillows. For extra soft tootsies, don your favorite warm socks and sleep with the lotion on through the night.
