Pedicures – a monthly must have!!!
With warm weather already upon us, I feel it necessary to write about a must-have for women everywhere: pedicures! I have been a pedicure addict since I graduated from college, before that point it was just an occasional thing – if I felt like it, if there was a special event, etc. But ohhhh – the combination of nail care and foot/leg rubbing is too much to pass up.
Sure, I can do it myself, and if I need an emergency heel buffing or polish touch-up, I do. But for under $30 a month, why not treat myself and go to a nail salon?! I’ve been going monthly with my little sister and my brother’s wife (before she was his wife!) for almost 8 years now to a local nail place. We’ve gotten to know the people that work there ~ we’ve watched their business grow, learned about their family overseas, watched their adorable son grow up, and experimented with almost every color polish ever made and had funky designs added to our big toes just for fun at certain holidays (snowflakes for winter, snowmen at Christmas, Ace of spades when we went to Vegas, and happy little flowers with crystal centers for spring and summer).
But it is an unbreakable warm weather rule for me ~ do NOT wear sandals of any kind unless you have your toes done! It doesn’t matter if you sand those heels down yourself and slap on some clear coat, or hit up a frou frou salon. Whatever your preference, just get the job done before sandal season!!! It is completely heartbreaking to see a killer pair of wedge sandals on someone and then see her crusty feet and unkempt, too-long nails sticking out of them. Be kind to your feet ladies, and be kind to the people that are admiring what’s on them!
