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?

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.
