TREAT YO’ SELF
FOOT SOAK
So, you’re telling me you are going to pay someone to let you stick your feet in water? Yes and no. It’s more of an experience. To me, it felt like the moment during a massage where you lay on the table waiting for the masseuse to come in and you’re listening to the relaxing music and hear no one call you Mommy. It’s so relaxing and no one is even touching you.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF A FOOT SOAK?
Ok…the salon says, “It is said that the feet mirror the body, corresponding to different organs and systems. In our custom foot soaks, we use different salt blends to try and replicate the waters of natural hot springs which are high in minerals. These minerals are believed to have healing properties when absorbed by the skin.” Interesting. What I got out of it was relaxation, a calm mind, time to myself, and my own quiet oasis…for 30 minutes.
ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOAKS?
I got to pick the type of soak I wanted from a menu that featured:
Calm Soaks
Soothing Soaks
Invigorating Soaks
Balancing Soaks
The one I chose was the Coconut Peppermint which features cooling peppermint, hydrating coconut milk, and cleansing tea tree oil. They also add Epsom salt and Dead Sea salt. I wish you could smell this combination!
You can also choose to add some tea to sip on while you soak. I kept the peppermint theme going.
WHAT’S IT LIKE?
I walked through this hallway and thought it was cool how they section off all the “rooms.” I had no clue what to expect and I’m glad I didn’t have to sit around with strangers. Haha…that sounds nice huh? What I mean is I wanted to have some time to myself and I always seem to have a Chatty Cathy next to me.
I was so happy to see this cozy chair! It was so comfortable. I sat back and was immediately relaxed even though nothing had started yet!
A very sweet woman came in with peppermint tea and a warm neck towel. Getting better!!!
Next, they brought in a gorgeous tub filled with very warm water and my special bath blend.
I put my feet in, had some tea, and then shut my eyes and pretended like I was in some exotic location far away from the laundry I had waiting for me at home.
WHO WOULD LIKE IT?
Who wouldn’t like it? Actually…I tack that back…I don’t think my husband would and when I was telling him about it he didn’t quite ‘get it.’ But I saw several men there during my visit so some guys might like it. I am definitely returning with a friend. I think it would be great for a girl’s night out, a mother/daughter bonding, or couples…hello…date night!
WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?
I think it would be great to do it with someone else. I actually texted my buddy while I was there telling her she had to do it with me. Then I forced myself to unplug.
However, if I were to do it alone, I would add on a massage the next time. This salon offers:
Foot and leg massage
Head-Neck-Shoulder massage
Hand and lower arm massage
WHERE DID I GET IT DONE?
Soaking Pot, Conway NH
