This morning I read an article in the July/August edition of Health called “Beauty in the Heat! A Total Pro Guide”. The section that really caught my eye was titled “A Foot Model’s Pretty-Summer-Feet Tricks”. Well I think I deserve pretty feet. So here were the suggestions.
- Soften those calluses with caution. I learned that calluses serve a purpose. The purpose is to prevent blisters. Imagine that!!!
- Moisturize before bed. It is better to put moisturizer on at night and then curl up for a nice snooze. Putting moisturizer on in the morning and then putting on sandals is a dirt magnet. Who knew that?
- The last suggestion is the one I like the most. Wear opaque polish so dirt will not be visible under your nails. Wow, I don’t have to wash my feet as often! Just cover up that dirt up with nail polish.
All joking aside. I did decide to paint my nails. I saw a woman at church with blue toenails. When I went to the store I noticed all these colors like blue, green, and yellow just for toes. I thought “how cool is that”. Well, I painted my nails this beautiful shade of blue. The only problem with my blue toes is that my husband does not like them. I nearly fell over backwards that he even noticed them. (This coming from the man who does not notice when I change my hair style.) So here is my dilemma. Should people of a certain age wear blue nail polish? (I am nearly half a century old.) Should I change my color to a “more respectable color” (my husband’s words) like red? I would really like to hear what everyone else thinks about these new colors for toes.
