The Topic Today is Feet

For a part of you that should look so cool, they can look pretty sad without a little help and one of the most inexpensive ways to soften the feet is plain old petroleum jelly. (I particularly like the baby powder scented variety.) I often take a jar down to the family room with me and while watching Coronation Street, I massage a good amount into the soles of my feet. Feels amazing. And as far as having a pedicure, just can’t stand people touching my feet. One of my phobias I guess.

A Little Foot Trivia
Some believe that the original measurement of the English foot was from King Henry I, who had a foot 12 inches long; he wished to standardise the unit of measurement in England.

Why do feet smell… The problem begins when bacteria become attracted to the sweat on your feet and start feeding on it.

Giving Yourself a French Pedicure

Doesn’t matter what season it is, having pretty feet is your personal little luxury. Doesn’t matter is they are covered up with work socks, you still know that when they come off, your feet will look… yes, absolutely fabulous!

*And yes, as we get older, keeping them that way is going to take a little work, so be sure to stock up on a large bottle of moisturizer to be applied while watching TV each night!! Preferably by someone else!

G… Are you listening to me??

My feet, they haul me Round the House, They hoist me up the Stairs; I only have to steer them, and They Ride me Everywheres.

Well, I never quite thought about everything we put our feet through, but if they begin to look a bit haggard as we get older, is there any wonder?

Off to moisturize

Protecting Your Skin From the Sun

“It is important to only purchase sunscreens that read “Broad-Spectrum” on the label, this will ensure protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Most sunscreens protect against UVB rays, which affect the top layer of the skin and are responsible for burning, but it is just as important to protect against UVA rays, which affect the lower layers of the skin and are responsible for aging. According to Christina Valentine, brand awareness and educational manager for Bare Escentuals and MD Formulations, you should lather up twenty minutes before sun exposure to ensure that it is fully absorbed into your skin. She also suggests re-applying your lotion every hour.”

And that includes your feet too. With some of us literally living in sandals, that is a lot of sun to the tops of your feet! Be sure to include them when you apply your sunblock… several times a day!

Pretty Feet

Theres nothing worse in my opinion than toe nails that are half painted with polish. It means that you have been ignoring your feet long enough to let the nails grow out, taking the polish with them. If you are going to polish your toe nails, be sure to stay on top with their upkeep.

Perhaps once a week, treat yourself to a foot bath along with a good massage. That’s what husbands are for And after the foot massage, remove the old polish and apply a new color. With all the colors on the market, you should never run out!
