relaxing spa recipes right at home?

Frozen Egg & Honey Facial Mask

Recommended for dry skin

1 egg

2. Take an empty toilet tissue roll and set it on end in a clean bowl. Spoon mixture into the cardboard toilet paper roll (or consider using an empty deoderant container). Place tube, in the bowl, in the freezer overnight.
3. To use, peel away just the top 1/4 inch of the cardboard roll and smooth the frozen stick over your face (think of it as a push up pop). Leave your mask on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

Return the cream stick covered with plastic wrap and frozen between uses. Particularly soothing on a sunburn. Keeps indefinately.

*****************

Wouldn’t it be fun to have a spa night get-together with your girlfriends? You could make a few treatment recipes, have everyone bring an appetizer and then watch movies!

I am thinking about having a Spa-theme for my daughters 10th birthday party. I would have each of the girls bring a robe and slippers. Then I would have different stations: a manicure station, a pedicure station, and a facial station. Have you ever done this type of party or been to one? Do you have any ideas?
