Orbeez Soothing Spa? No Thank You!

Have you seen those commercials for the new Orbeez Soothing Spa?? I'm just so turned off.? Call me crazy, but the thought of putting my daughter's feet in those little wet orbs more than once is just gross.? Add into the mix a couple of girls and a pedicure party. No thank you!

Before you run out and buy one for your child, just consider the fact that these cannot be cleaned. They say to add a little salt to keep them fresher longer, but for me, I'll pass. We have an orbeez kit at our house and the balls get moldy after a short amount of time.? They literally just drink up the water and then shrivel back down when they are left to dry.

When your daughter or her friends soak their feet in them, their germs and dead skin cells and whatever else they might have living on their feet will get mixed in and that is just too much for me. Skip it altogether, head to the dollar store and pick up what you need for a real pedicure. (step-by-step instructions)
