spa party table

All week I’ve been sharing spa party recipes leading up to my NIVEA Pampering Spa Party! Finally, I get to share the party with you! I spend all week making the spa party treatments so that I could spend the day of the party cleaning house, setting up for the party and making them food. I am delighted with how everything turned out and my nine guests left my house feeling pampered and relaxed!

The spa party treat table included the following:
{click on the links to see the recipes}

Maple Brown Sugar Scrub ~ Made with brown sugar, olive oil and maple flavoring.
Sugar Hand Scrub ~ Made with sugar and body wash.
Bath Bombs ~ I made these but they didn’t turn out right. I’ll have to try again someday.
Lip Balm ~ I purchase a multi-pack of lip balm and peeled off the labels.
Peppermint Foot Soak ~ Made with baking soda, epsom salt and peppermint tea.
NIVEA Essentially Enriched Lotion ~ Purchased in dual packs, NIVEA at Sam’s Club is a great value at only $8.98 for 2 16.9oz bottles! You can see more about my shopping trip in my Google+ Album.
Lavender Bath Salts ~ Made with sea salt, epsom salt, lavender essential oil and food coloring.

 

putting lotion into small bottles

I purchased small bottles from Joann Fabrics and spray painted the lids silver. I attached tags with craft glue and filled them with NIVEA so that each guest can have their own mini bottle.

soaking feet

At the party, we soaked our feet in various basins, buckets and containers.

While we soaked, we chatted and let the stresses of the week go. Taking time to pamper ourselves is about more than just taking care of our skin. We all have stressful lives in different ways and pampering helps let some of the stress go and gives us the opportunity to relax and laugh with our friends!

scrubbing feet

Once we had enough of soaking, we used the maple brown sugar scrub to exfoliate our feet.

Then, we applied NIVEA Essentially Enriched lotion to our feet. This NIVEA lotion is for very dry, rough skin. It contains almond oil for healthier, well balanced skin, sea minerals for softer, smoother skin texture and Hydra 10 Technology for all day moisturization.  After soaking, exfoliation and using NIVEA lotion, our feet felt so soft and smooth!!

face scrub on hand

We made a face scrub using a dollop of face wash and some baking soda. Some of the guests used a face mask before moisturizing their faces.

After using the hand scrub, we used NIVEA lotion to moisturize our hands. Everyone kept exclaiming about how soft and smooth their skin was!

nivea lotion bottles

 I left the NIVEA Essentially Enriched lotion bottles out during the party so that the guests could refill their mini bottles.

spa party food

No good party can be complete with delicious food! We had veggies with ranch dip, white chocolate dipped strawberries, pita chips with spinach dip, mini veggie pizzas (I will post this recipe soon) and brownie & cookie cupcakes (I will not post this recipe because it was somewhat of a failure).

party bag

 My mom was unable to come to the party so I assembled a Pampering Spa Party Gift Bag for her. She is very excited to try it all out!

There were LOTS of people who couldn’t make it for various reasons and I have to say that they sure missed out! But since we had such a great time, we all agreed that we are going to do it again very soon. One of my friends suggested that we do again next week! Sounds like a great idea to me!

    Pampered myself? It’s been awhile! This post definitely reminds me that I need to take time to do that, though. I love Nivea, and it is my brand of choice. It’s nice to get a luxe lotion at a good price.

    I knew you were up to something with all those gorgeous pampering product recipes. What a fun day to have. I was going to say I’d love that brownie cupcake recipe because they look great. I need some of that Nivea cream now that its sandal weather here. My feet are gross!Anne xx

      The brownie cupcake was just a combination of brownie mix and chocolate chip cookie mix. I saw a pin for them on Pinterest but couldn’t find a recipe so I just decided to wing it. They tasted good but they didn’t look cool like the ones in the pin!
