knobby toes

[Guest guest]

Fran, and all who feel embarrassed about getting a professional

pedicure.........DON'T hesitate. Think of it as the same a going to the doctor.

They have a solution to a bad problem. I was shy about it the first time but

the benefits are more than worth it. They put your feet jacuzzi type bath, then

cut your toenails (talk about decadent.....I'll never do my own again!). Then

the fun really begins when the start shaving off all......and I do mean

all......of the dead skin. Piles of the stuff falls to the floor. After that

there is the wonderful massage.....SIGH! Then if you want they will paint your

toenails. I don't because I don't want to have to do it more than once a month

and polish makes my nails brittle due to the formaldehyde in it. My only

question is why didn't I know about this years ago? They don't care how knobby

your toes are. They always remark how much they shave off my feet but I feel

they are getting paid well for it. I leave with smooth, exhilarated feet and it

lasts for a good three weeks if I put lotion on immediately after getting out of

the shower. I was told by a dermatologist that lotion slows the loss of the

present moisture but does not add moisture to skin so it is best to do it right

out of the shower. I partially dry then apply. Life is just too short to go

around with miserable feet if it can be helped. Later, Cheri
