Frugal Kids Spa Day

I have two girls, five and nine. My nine year old Dacoda, was always asking me if we could go to the spa. So I decided to surprise her with a home spa day.

I made little sandwiches with the crust cut off and made their favourite chocolate chip cookies. I made freshie, and put in fancy glasses. I rolled up the wash clothes and towels tied with a ribbon. We lit a scented candle. I put on music we all love, Celine Dion.

Facials:

We started out with facials. I just use egg whites painted on with a small paint brush. We left it on for 10 minutes, washed it off, then put on moisturizer.

Pedicures:

Then I put warm water into plastic buckets added some food colouring to colour the water. I put 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and half cup of epsom-salts. We soaked our feet for fifteen minutes. It gave us a chance to talk and spend quality time together. Then I dried their feet and allowed them to pick their nail polish colour. Hope decided on rainbow colours, one colour for each toe.

Manicures:

We did the same for our hands in smaller bowls. I used a scrub brush to scrub their nails,and then gently filed them. Then we painted their finger nails.

After we were done, we had our lunch.

Hair and Makeup:

I curled their hair with the curling iron and I let them do their own make-up! They loved the whole thing and want to do it again soon. It was time well spent together!
