Spa Party

Hannah turned 8 last week. Hannah loves a great party.  Even better, she loves a party with a great theme.  This year was no exception- she asked for a "spa party". 

We asked the girls to wear their pajamas and to come at 9am. After meeting them at the front door with a clipboard and "confirming their appointment", we served breakfast: quiche, sausage, fruit and cinnamon rolls in leiu of cake.

 
Each girl received a goodie bag (comprised of a Turbie Twist, disposable flip-flops, toe separaters, a mirror, and lip balm).  The Dollar Store is great for things like that.

 
Next, they soaked their feet in some sudsy water and rose petals.  I went around and painted their toes. We passed a dish of mints around while they were waiting and had some American Girl magazines for brousing. Mostly they just talked and giggled.

I found some "all natural" mudd masks at Target (one packet was enough for 2 girls) and they applied it themselves using their new mirror.

 
To complete the facial, they used some cucumber slices as a cooling eye treatment.

 
When their masks were dry they took turns wiping it off with warm cloths in the bathroom.

It was a fun party, that didn't cost buckets of money and the girls had so much fun.
