Mojito-sippin’ weather might still be a few more months away, but we have a way to get a tropical fix even while the weather outside is still dreary. Mint Mojito pedicures are all the rage in fancy high-end salons and we found a recipe that will allow you to save a buck and give yourself the luxe treatment at home.

The best part? If you grow your own mint plants you know that this is one herb that always seems to be in abundance. If your mint plant is totally out of control because you didn’t plant it in a pot and it’s taking over the rest of your gardening bed, consider throwing a mini spa party and treating your friends to a little relaxing mint aromatherapy.
