I want to have kind of a spa - afternoon at my house, maybe with 1 friend over. But I was wondering - what should we do?? I have a hot tub ..anyone have any other ideas that we could do to be pampered? Please help!! =) Thank you ..ill rate high and give feedback!

Hiya,
You could all hang around the edge of the hot tub, just dangling your feet in, and kinda 'soak' your feet so they're all clean and soft, and then give each other manicures and pedicures. Manicure and pedicure kits are really cheap to buy (starting from around $8 I'd say) and you can get them from most make up, pharmacy or chemist stores.
You could do each other's hair as well.
Have you seen those like pouches of beauty lotions and shampoos and stuff? I don't know if you get them in your country but you should get something similar. They're basically foil pouches of face masks, foot lotion, special shampoos, etc. Look out for them!
You could also make your own face packs/masks with oatmeal and bananas, or from any other recipie - most girly magazines would have some ideas for that. Check out Blissmag.co.uk, there MIGHT be some on there too :)
Another thing you could make is ice cream sundaes! Get three or four small tubs of different flavour ice cream and a couple of sauces plus sprinkles or chocolate flakes and you can all make your own combinations :P
It might be fun as well to have a 'fashion parade' - real or silly. You could either dress up in your best clothes (ask everyone to bring their fave outfit as well as normal clothes) or you could dress up in silly stuff like swimming arm bands and shower caps!
You could also listen to music with cucumber slices over your eyes.
Oooh, and if you have the person to sleepover then you could do some kind of excersize or yoga video and then reward yourselves with hot chocolate and marshmallows :P
Blessed Be, and have fun!
