Take care of your feet so they can take care of you!


Of course everyone would love if they can go to the spa and have a pedicure done every week, fact is most of us can’t for different reasons, whatever they might be. I am obsessed with DIY remedies & projects, so giving myself a pedicure at home ever so often is never really an issue. Taking care of your feet may seem trivial until those babies start to act up. Taking care of your feet is very important because they absorb the impact of your full body weight with every step, keeping you balanced and upright in the process. Some foot problems that can plague your feet are foot odor, cracked skin, fallen arches, corns, ingrown toenails, fungal infections and even damaged bones can cause discomfort and reduced mobility. While some of these problems are congenital, you can avoid many of them with a little TLC. The best way to keep your feet healthy is a simple regimen of daily care that will help keep your toes, toe nails, the skin, bones and muscles of your feet clean and functioning properly.



A daily regimen is simple and includes:
  • ·         WEARING YOUR SIZE. Ladies & gentle men for Christ’s sake, wear the correct sized shoes, wear shoes that actually fit.
  • ·         Washing your feet daily. Your feet spend most of the day trapped inside a shoe. Wash between your toes, scrub your toe nails with a nail scrub brush and scrub your heel with a pumice stone.
  • ·         Moisturize your feet to keep them soft, especially before bed.

That’s it. Love your feel & they’ll love you back I promise.

NB: Real quick tip on keeping feet soft. Soft candle; it's cheap and it works just as good or even better than those expensive 'feet creams'. Rub a small amount together between palms till it melts and apply to feet along with a pair of socks before bed. Soft candle cost about $2.00 to $3.00 each *big grin*, I buy a few and stuff them into a jar for continued use.

Mini make-up haul

Small make-up haul  Hey everyone! I've just started gathering products for my make-up kit and I went out on Saturday and picked up these little beauties *love struck smiley*. I got a chance to use everything so far so I just want to share with y'all my views. The L'oreal true match foundation in W6... umm not my favourite, it's a bit light for me which is weird since the W6 powder matches harmoniously to my skin. I'm hoping it's the tan I got from the beach last week and being out all day Saturday, will definitely give it another chance. Other than it not matching my skin tone it's perfect, it goes on smooth (with the correct brush of course, I used the MAC 188 foundation brush), it's lightweight, gives medium to full coverage and gives a nice 'glowy' finish. I love this foundation, I usually use MAC studio fix fluid but this is a nice cheaper alternative for everyday use. Milani Illuminating face powder in Hermosa Rose.. I cannot get en...

Simple Glam (Night out with the girls)

 Hey everyone, club season is back and in full swing in Trinidad and as opposed to carnival the fashion for ‘clubbing season’ as it’s fondly called is two very different things. Let me explain, carnival has a more casual fashion outlook mainly because most of the events are outdoor, the capacity of patrons at one event also the nature of a fete (live performances etc). Club fashion has more of a glamorous outlook because of its indoor nature consisting of ‘little black dresses’, skirts, blazers etc. My first after carnival outfit was this black and white, close-fitting, above mid-knee length, armhole, cotton dress. I immediately fell in love with it because I can dress it up or down. I like unique pieces but I absolutely love clothes that I can dress up or down. I paired it with black pumps (sorry I didn’t get a shot of them). I wore a pair of mid-size silver hoops, a silver ring, white & silver MK watch and a black clutch with silver lining. When going for a glam loo...
