Foot Soak Party

Foot Soak parties are always fun.  What could be more relaxing than sitting in a wicker cushioned chair on a screen porch of a hot summer evening?  Sitting your feet in a cool bath of water while your toes and the ball of your feet move over marbles enjoying the gentle massage...that is even better! 

Invite a couple of friends. They need to bring their feet and a pair of socks to put on after the foot soak. It is nice to be invited and not have to bring anything, right?

Foot soak supply list

Ambiance supply list

I use kitchen dish pans purchased from a local dollar store. I prefer white, it speaks squeaky clean.
A large container of marbles.  You can buy them at a craft supply store in the floral section. They are usually clear or blue.  My collection is old and has a mix of marbles from when the kids were little plus floral marbles. 

Fill each basin 3/4 with hot or cold water, it depends on the season. Your guest can take a couple handfuls of marbles and add to the basin.  Offer an oil or bath cream to enhance the experience.  I love to wait on my friends and so this is a great party to have because once they put their feet in the water they are pretty much trapped in their seat.  I am the last to put my feet in, this way I can make sure everyone has a drink and snack close at hand.

Offer pumice stones for some light scrubbing.  I have pumice stones that I collected in Oregon for friends to use.  Remember to boil them after use to ensure they are clean for next time. .

After the soak pass out hand towels to dry off, followed by lotion to moisturize the feet.

Candles - The candles and mini lights add a nice ambiance to the room, you can also play background mood music.

For my recent foot soak party I served Lemon Lavender Martinis with Lemon Lavender Shortbread Cookies. It was a great combo

BUT most of all if you don't have all the supplies that I've listed jut do it anyways.  Use your big pasta pot, dump out a Lego container and soak away.  If we are always waiting for the perfect everything, everyday slips away and before you know it, the moment slip away also. I know this because it has happened to me and I've decided to just do it and enjoy.  It is about the friendships that matter most.



I will post the recipes soon.
