Take better care of my hands and feet

This is such a fun goal to have! I went for another manicure and pedicure today. I went for years without having them done and now that I’m on my journey this is my third time.

A funny little tidbit. The past two visits I would sit in the pedicure chair with the vibration / massage turned on. I kept thinking this is not comfortable. My whole body would be shaking as if I was having convulsions, my pedicures were not relaxing as friends would comment about. Today’s visit, I noticed a woman in the process of reclining her chair. So, I too, reclined my chair. I had the most relaxing pedicure ever!!!

Silly me…

my hands and feet look so much better! Good enough for me anyway :-)

Wow, my feet are getting so soft. I have been treating them with foot cream nightly, making a nice difference.

Now I won’t be so embarrassed having pedicures. The poor ladies had to use all their muscle and might to work on the bottoms of them. Really embarrassing.

My feet are Happy Feet.

Pampering my hands and feet at night with hand lotion and foot cream. Now it’s time to go and make the pretty!

I should start. I don’t want to have to worry abt someone looking at my feet and going.. ‘that-girl-needs-a-pedicure’ cos I know I notice these things abt ppl.

Why is it so hard to give our hands and feet just a little extra care? I’m adding this goal to my list. My feet need attention and my hands/nails need even more. I’m going to have a pedicure and manicure this week to start the pampering…

I’ve changed my ways, and my hands and feet are thanking me for it. I’m using an ordinary unscented lotion (Lubriderm brand), and my skin is feeling happier and much, much less itchy. This simple lifestyle change comes highly recommended, even though I was skeptical about it at first.

because I’ve recently had a look at my feet and found them unexpectedly wrinkly. I’m too young to have wrinkled feet! Lotion is the key. It’s a fairly obvious solution to dry skin, but I tend to forget about it. Oh, and I might as well add my arms and legs to this goal. I tend to forget about them, too, and because I haven’t used bug spray, I’m now covered in mosquito bites and scars from said bites. My legs are naturally very shapely and muscular (albeit thick-boned), so they would look okay without these unsightly blemishes. So, yes. Lotion and bug spray and just a bit of pampering. That begins to sound like luxury, doesn’t it?

but now my nails are pretty and painted again :-)

I was making progress on this goal and my hands and feet looked really nice – until yesterday. I was so nervous I started to bite my nails :-(
Now I filed them really short. With a little polishing they should look ok again, but still, this is not good at all.
