Tweezerman Three in One Pedicure Tool

CRABTREE & EVELYN, LTD. La Source 60 Second Fix for Feet

Now to some of you this may seem obvious. However, taking good care of your feet is important in many ways. First off there are health concern. Even more important if you have Diabetes or diseases where your circulation is compromised. Just by washing and moisturizing daily you are able to prevent problems. To have stylish shoes today is so important. A good pair of heels can make or break an outfit. We stand and walk for hours in heels or even flip-flops. I keep foot lotion in my living room and when I watch tv at night my husband or I massage and moisturize my tired tootsies. You’d be surprised how that little bit of pampering at the end of a ling day can relax you.

Now there are also the visual benefits to good foot care. All these peep toed pumps are giving the world a new view of a normally close up and hidden away area of our bodies. Nothing looks cheaper than old toenail polish all chipped and grown out. If you are going to pop some red polish on those beauties peoples eyes are going to be drawn to look. You don’t want them to think “Wow she’s really put together but did you see those toes? Euwww”! lol I’m serious. It doesn’t matter how much time you spent trying to look your best. If your feet look nasty you have wasted your time. That’s all that people remember.

If time is the issue and you can’t go out to get a pedicure. Do them yourself. A salon pedi is a treat in my life just for the shear lack of time. Instead of just a bottle of lotion make a cute little basket and put a file, polish, and polish remover in there too. The best investment is a $1 for a little rectangular buffing block. That thing performs miracles. You just slide it back and forth on the tops of your toes. Yes, the tops and get those ridges even out in just a few strokes. Then slide on some clear polish and put your feet up the rest of the night and watch the tv! I love clear polish because it wont show so obviously as it grows out and it adds a bit of healthy shine. That has to be my pet peeve. Such an easy thing to keep you from looking cheap. So, take some time and you’ll feel better for it.

HUGs, Hope

I’ve noticed a nice trend these last few months. No matter how high or low the hemlines the designers are putting out they are showing them off by beautiful accents. I’ve enjoyed pretty flourishes in the prints, pretty edging and like these gorgeous gems from Fredericks they catch your eye draw it down to show off our legs.

As grown women we have to dress to show off our assets and distract attention from our imperfections. These ornate hemlines are real eye catchers. For example, I have a bit of a weight issue. (Nice way to put it right?) I try to pull attention to my bust line and hemline and not have people focus on my waist. Just be sure to watch the length that it is not too low for your size. You don’t want to be lost in the fabric and remember it’s okay to show a little leg.

Hugs, Hope
