Coffee Break for Tired Feet

In salute to all those hard working feet out there, bodylish will include a STAND ON LOTUS flowering foot fizz with every order until May 15!

800px-Roasted_coffee_beans[1].jpgWhew, what a weekend. Who knew that mid-April in Minnesota means head to the garden? You’ve got to make hay when the sun is shining, as my ancestral farmers proclaimed, and we listened. A weekend of great gardening weather wreaks havoc on a body after a Minnesota winter and it’s time to give my feet a COFFEE BREAK.

The feet are often forgotten. They work tirelessly for a body, and get very little tender loving attention. Here’s a perk that’s sure to work, and you likely have everything you need.

Gather these things:

  • 1/4 cup sea salt
  • 1 tbl freshly ground coffee beans
  • 1 tbl ground vanilla beans
  • 1/4 cup oil (olive or almond)
  • 1 pot of coffee, at room temperature
  • whipped cream

Then just follow these steps:

  1. Mix salt, coffee and vanilla beans and oil in a bowl.
  2. Pour the pot of coffee in a basin and add the whipped cream.
  3. Place feet in the basin and soak for about 10 minutes.
  4. Rub feet and calves with a scoop of the salt mixture, concentrating on callused areas.
  5. Rinse feet with warm water, dry them lightly with a towel, and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer.

The caffeine in the coffee reduces redness and swelling, and the salt, coffee grinds and vanilla beans – along with the lactic acid (in the whipped cream) - are all natural exfoliants.
