Now I'll Get That Pedicure!


After buying those cute little nothings of a sandal(see previous post)
and reading The Peach Tarts
aptly titled "Didn't Your Mama Teach You Better about those Unkempt Feet" post,
I knew I had to do something with these withered old dogs of mine.

After all, why buy pretty, strappy shoes when your feet look like you have been walking barefoot in a gravel pit for the past 10 years?
I've really neglected my feet.

The weather is so crappy up here that they spend a great portion of the year encased in socks and boots or water-proof moccasins.
I rarely think of them unless they are cold or tired.
Other than making sure they don't smell and trimming the nails, (the latter usually after the old man makes a snide comment)I pretty much take them for granted.

I thought about going over to the local nail place but frankly, I was just too embarrassed. (Yes I am one of those women who if I had a maid, I would tidy up before she came.)
So, off I go in search of a PedEgg at my local Walgreens.
No PedEgg in stock.:-(

Instead I bought another product called Pedi-Expert by Revlon.
It looks similar and works on the same principle-good enough for me.
I got it home and went to town on these puppies. Afterwards, I liberally applied some lotion to them.

Guess what?
It works!

My feet are so soft and smooth-I am ashamed I let them go for so long.
The old man actually let me put them in his lap and held them while he watched his beloved Red Sox. By God, I think he would have actually massaged them if I'd whined a little.
:-)

Anyhow-another marvelous product from my old standby-Revlon.
(Although, I'm pretty sure that had I bought the PedEgg, the results would have been the same):-)

Impulse Shopping



I saw a lady trying these on at DSW the other day.
I immediately coveted them, and searched in vain at the clearance rack that she got them from.

Not finding another pair like them, I slyly stalked her throughout the store, hoping that she'd change her mind and put them back. I briefly contemplated swiping them as she sat them down to dig around in her purse.
Of course the hag bought them and merrily went on her way.

So I get an email. From DSW online.
They're having a sale.
Hmmm....

I tell myself that I am not going to buy-just going to browse as I click over to the site.
Unless of course I actually find those exact shoes.

Even if I find those exact shoes, I'm only going to look...
Unless they actually have my size in stock...
...And they have free shipping.

They had the shoe.
They had my size.
They had free shipping.

Some things were meant to be.:-)
