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.

                Voilà.

Correct Way to Exfoliate Your Skin: Step-by-Step

As we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down. This means that the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. Furthermore, the build-up of dead skin cells can result in excess oil and clogged pores, leading to blemishes and acne. Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This opens the way for moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective. In short, a regular exfoliating routine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy. Remove make-up - If you wear makeup, remove makeup first, there are a lot of make-up removers currently on the market both liquid and wipes. However for a cheaper, more natural alternative coconut oil or olive oil can be used for both face and eye make-up and baby wipes can be used for those with sensitive ...

Jordanna Lipstick Mini Haul

From left Mauve, Hot Pink, Plum Obsession & Radiant Red Finally getting around to doing this! It’s no secret that I am a lipstick fanatic so of course I went to the mall and ended up getting some pretty Jordanna lip colours and I just thought I’d share.  What I like about these lipsticks the most are not only are they affordable but they’re durable too. Jordanna comes in handy for everyday use like work etc; I also use them for evening and night glam depending on what lipstick I need.  Once they’re set properly (lip liner etc) they look gorgeous and they last a good couple of hours. I picked up three regular colours (in the silver packaging) and one matte colour (in the gold packaging). I’m not a big fan of matte lipsticks because sometimes they can be extra drying on your lips and crack but I tried this one and it’s not overly drying. It’s matte but with some moisture which I love.
