  • Do you treat yourself to a day at the spa or pedicures regularly? I do not but with this simple and affordable diy routine I think I'll be working it into my schedule. in this video I show how I make up a sand and salt foot scrub for my poor feet. I look forward to gifting it to some special people for Christmas ♥

    A day at the cabin treating yourself to a DIY SPA DAY sounds amazing! We do need to stop and take a break to treat ourselves. The reality of it is we don't have a replacement if it is broken beyond repair. Self Care is so important. Thanks for sharing.

    That 1870's Homestead. I do not have time for myself, because I work seven days a week. My job has to do with the elderly. I am a Home Health Aide, taking care of my patience takes a lot out of me. But I wish a spa, but work comes first. Maybe next weekend will be my spa day. Thank you for the video. God Bless you. Have a wonderful spa day. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

    Sounds like a wonderful treatment. I just bought a 50 pound bag of play sand to use for my garden tools. I do not need that much but that was the smallest bag I could find. Now I know what I can do with the extra.

    That was a great idea, to treat yourself like that! I’m the same way, I generally don’t pamper my body enough. I think I had had two pedicures in my life before this fall. I was heading to San Diego to see my son and decided to get one before I went. I enjoyed it so much, the actual pedicure, but also looking down and seeing my painted toenails, that I got one again later. Funny, I know, but when you’re not used to it, it feels special and a treat. I love that you took time for yourself and shared it with us. That scrub sounds great, especially up at the cabin, but I’m thinking you would have to use it outside with the sand in it. I don’t think you’d want to pour it down the drain. Maybe that’s why they usually use coarse sugar or salt?
