Tori's Spa Birthday Party

I had so much fun planning Tori's spa themed birthday party.  I had so many different ideas and was worried how it would come together, but it was a huge success and everyone had a lot of fun.  Brandon was still out of town, so Charbel and Jana came to help me out (I don't know how much Brandon would have like helping give facials and paint nails anyways, lol)
 

 
Here's the welcome sign the girls saw as they arrived:
 


 When they got there,they each had to sign into the spa and pick up their basket filled with all of things they would need for the spa.
 
 
 

 
Here they are all ready to start!
 
First off they each made their own kool-aid lip loss, scented bath salts and sparkly lotion.
 
 
Charbel was such a big help.  The lip-gloss was a little more difficult then I anticipated, but she got it all figured out for us =)  They each made a grape and a cherry one.
 
 
 
 
 Next up was facials and hand scrubs!
The girls each made Charbel's recipe for a facial scrub which consisted of honey and brown sugar. 
 

 
It was an absolute hoot watching the girls rub the scrub on their faces.  They thought it felt so weird!
 

 
 Charbel washed off each girls scrub one at a time.  Even though they were a little uneasy with the process, they all loved their super soft hands and faces.
 I love their facial expressions through it all! lol
 
After they were all cleaned up they headed in to the manicure station.  They each got to pick out how they wanted their nails done.  We had all sorts of fun colors, and stickers to choose from. While they were waiting for their turn they each decorated their lip gloss, and lotion containers with stickers, but I forgot to get a picture of that.
 
While they waited for their nails to dry, they relaxed with some cucumbers on their eyes.  (some of the girls may or may not have eaten their cucumbers when they were finished, lol)
 

After the manicures were finished it was make-up time.  One of Tori's favorite things to do is put on make-up.  She is actually really good at it too.  We had quite the spread of make-up to choose from and the girls went to town making themselves look glamorous.  It was so funny watching them put it on.  They had the techniques of putting make-up down to a T!
 



 
Here they are all done up:
 
We finished the party with cake and presents, just in time for parents to arrive.


 
It was a whirlwind of fun and we were all exhausted by the time it was over.  It was so much fun to plan and all of the girls had a blast.  I got all of the materials at the dollar store, so that made it really inexpensive which was another plus! It was such a fun day.
