Spa Party Ideas
There is plenty to be included in your Spa party activities. Start with the top of the head and work down to the toes for great relaxation.
Leave off expensive treatments. Rejuvenate your skin with this hand held
How about inviting your favorite hairdresser to spend some time creating new "dos" at a hair station.
Likewise a student at the local cosmetic school may want to help with some experimental makeovers. They are not allowed to 'charge' but you can tip them.
Maybe Aunt Bess might just love doing manicures. Get as many friends as you can to set up different stations so that each guest can partake in more than one activity.
Spa Services
First, let's try making a schedule of spa party activities.
11 AM to 4 PM is ideal for daytime events; 6 PM to 11 PM for evenings. When guests arrive:Welcome guests into your home in your spa robe.
11-11:30--Guests arrive. Ask guests to change and invite them into the "relaxation room," where soothing sounds and scents are awaiting them. Pour tea and also serve special refreshing spa water.
Once all are assembled, give guests time to unwind and mingle over beverages.
11:30-12:00--Stretching and yoga. Throw a few mats on the floor, plug in a yoga tape, and put on some out-of-this-world music for a little invigorating stretching. Assign each person a spa partner.
Have the guests go to the different stations for their various treatments. Really, you don’t need to make these fancy, as an example a pedicure can be a foot soak in salts, a massage of the feet, a trim and clean-up of nails, and then a polish.
Spa Pedicure Tween Gift Set, Lotion, Nail Polish Kit. Get your toes ready with this pedicure set from Amazon.com. Includes - Berry Blitz foot lotion, toe separators, glitter emery board, and 2 bottles of glitter nail polish.Ultimate Nail Studio Kit• Ultimate Nail Studio comes with a spa bag for girls on the go • Ultimate Nail Studio also includes pedicure slippers and toe separators • Ultimate Nail Studio includes nail dryer for perfect results • Ultimate Nail Studio nail dryer runs on 2AA batteries.
Make sure the guests enjoy relaxing after each treatment, especially important if the other stations aren’t going as quickly as the others.
If offering facials, provide the guests with cucumber slices to put on their eyes. Even without a facial, they could have them on when taking a pedicure.
Spa Treatment# 1-Facial
12:00-12:45--Facials for spa party activities.
Three people lie down, and their spa buddies clean their faces with a gentle toner and a clean cotton pad.
Each will then lightly place two clean cotton pads, dipped in the warm water, over their partner's closed eyes. (Avoid the eye area with products at all times.)
Each will then dip the washcloth in warm water and moisten the face of her partner lightly. (Ask guests to hang on to their washcloths, which will be needed later in the evening.)
With clean hands, each will lightly spread facial Mask across her spa partner's face. Try to avoid getting the mask too close to the hairline. Leave on for 15 minutes. After the mask has worked wonders..
Remove face mask: Dip the washcloth back into the remaining water and gently remove the face mask. Be careful to avoid the eye area and then remove the last eye pads. Ahh....
Switch: Now it's your spa partner's turn to be esthetician!
Spa Party Food
12:45-1:30--Light lunch for spa party activities.
Visit, sip on your spa drinks or enjoy another cup of hot tea. At this time, the hostess may wish to serve fruits, vegetables or a selection
of healthy finger foods.
1:30-2--Manicures or hand treatments.
To replenish your nails moisture, soak them in lukewarm water for about 15 minutes.
After soaking comes the moisturizer. If you apply a lotion to your
hands as soon as you've lightly dried them, while they're still a
bit damp, it helps seal the moisture in your skin and nails.
Buff and apply light nail polish.
Switch: Now it's your spa partner's turn to be esthetician!
Spa Treatment# 2-Pedicure
2:00-3--Pedicures for spa party activities.
Seated in a circle, everyone should choose two freshly made scrubs and add one or two drops of their favorite essential oils to the fresh bowl of warm water, stirring lightly with fingers.
Dip washcloth and wrap around feet to soften and soothe the skin, for about 10 minutes. Feel free to re-wet the washcloth a few times during the 10 minutes to keep softening the skin. Wrap your towel around the washcloth as well to keep from dripping too much on the sheet!
Scrub your own legs and feet, then rinse with your scented water.
If you prefer to rinse them off in the bathtub, you can slip on your flip-flops and head to a bathroom, but it isn't necessary.
Now that your legs and feet are clean and smooth, if you like, polish your toes with your favorite nail polish.
While the polish is drying: listen to some nice calming music.
Spa Treatment# 3-Body Massage
3-3:30--Finish up all activities.
Switch: Now it's your spa partner's turn to be esthetician!
After everyone has received facials and pedicures, clean out the bowls, refill with fresh warm water, rinse off the washcloths and prepare for the last fun step of spa party activities!
