Herbal Foot Soak for the Princess in You

This is just what I like at the end of a long tiring day. It relieves my sore feet and relaxes a fazzled mind. Top it off with a pedicure and your feet will feel like new! The marjoram in this is known to relax and calm the mind and body! This is from the book 'Spa' Glow Guide - Simple steps for health and well being by Andrea Mc Cloud.
