A Collab between me and saatchi
 
While going through troubling time with acquiring funds for more equipment and to fix issues at their spa, Lotus Blossom and Aloe came up with a lucrative way of gaining extra custom. Initially the result of trying to develop new treatments, the pair inadvertently created something unheard of in their line of work.  
Infusing one of their popular lotions with the distilled essence of the infamous Poison Joke flower; Aloe and Lotus found they could cause themselves to shrink down in size. With no detriment to whoever the lotion was applied to! Initial testing allowed Aloe to shrink onto Lotus’s hoof and provide a deeper level of massage, hitting points that other masseuses couldn’t stimulate. And once the lotion was equally spread and dried onto the recipient, then Aloe steadily returned to her normal size. There was further testing to be done of course, but the sisters were excited about the potential bits they could make from it!  
During this second round of testing, Ponyville’s elected official, Mayor Mare, paid them a visit. She was a little early for her regular appointment but the spa ponies were often very accommodating. Upon looking for Aloe and Lotus, she found them engaged in yet more shrinky lotion testing. From the sounds of exuberance and delight that Lotus was making, the experience appeared to be unrivaled. So the Mayor did what she did best. She negotiated with the spa ponies to secure exclusive access to this lotion for her treatments. In return she’d generously pay for the upkeep and equipment costs at the spa as part of the town’s yearly budget. Aloe and Lotus had never accepted an offer for anything as fast as they did that one.  
The new lotion would be branded as Stress Reduction Lotion prior to its third and final round of testing. This time as proof to the Mayor of its wondrous effects and the special services it could provide. The Mayor offered her tired and aching hooves to the spa ponies and the pair got to work. They were quick in their efforts, pushing and spreading the lotion across a single hoof as their bodies continued to dwindle. After all, they didn’t want to become crumbs on the Mayor’s hoof, unable to complete their treatment and return to normal size. Though the Mayor did float a potential future in having a pair of spa ponies constantly providing her with regular hoof care, even if they would be shrinking forevermore.
