*Great Foot soak Idea*

Warm water

A basin or bowl large enough to soak one foot at a time.

Squeeze lemon juice into the basin, chop the entire lemon into small

pieces and put into basin, add enough warm water to cover your foot. Soak

feet for 15 to 20 minutes. While each foot soaks, take the chopped

lemon and rub it into your foot. This will soften, deodorize and refresh

your feet!
