Dear Ladies (Gathering preparation)

[LeeAllure]

Before you go to a gathering, what's your routine to ensure that your
hands/nails are long/strong/lovely, if you're a 'ler or switch, or that
your feet will be super responsive if you're a 'lee, or.. that any other
body part is ready for what might come?

Pumice foot scrub every day for two weeks prior (not that my feet get bad, I'm in the habit of using lotion on them right out of the shower to KEEP them nice). The day before NEST I usually go out and get a mani-pedi done. If I can't afford one, I do it myself.

I also tend to get my hair done as well. Yes, the red that you usually see is a dye job. My hair IS naturally strawberry blonde though. 🙂 I'll be having a friend hair-dresser cut my hair and I'll be dying it myself this year.

The only other preparation that I'll be making this year that's different from prior years is getting pieces for a new wardrobe. I need the clothes anyway, seeing as I've dropped weight. 🙂

I just bought ridge filler for my toe nails. It works really well and my polish looks smoother. I will probably repaint my toe nails just before NEST. I am using my pumice stone every other day and I am starting to put on lotion and socks every night. I am letting my finger nails grow out and then I will put on a clear strengthen top coat to protect them.

Not a foot person, so sorry if this is common knowledge, but why would you start putting on socks every night?

Socks keep the moisture in and keep your feet warm. Nothing says soft or smooth feet like the trapped warmth around your feet because of socks and the moisture from the lotion.

I recently discovered that body butter is soooooo much better and more effective than lotion. Srsly...make the switch. You'll thank me.

Not to sound to much of a gay dude now, but this is true! 😛

Wax. And lots of it. 😉

Ya know, I've had pedicures with paraffin dips and without, and I haven't noticed a single bit of difference 🙁 and I was really disappointed because I've heard some awesome things about wax.

Heh.. I didn't mean paraffin wax 😉

LOL Well I kinda didn't think so, but we had talked about paraffin wax before, and it made me think of it.

If I wasn't flying, I'd bring my paraffin bath. I love it.

I did the paraffin wax once with my hands and it felt SO wonderful and my hands felt softer for a long time. Never done it before with feet, I wonder what it would make my feet feel like?

Btw Lee, its not only the ladies that keep their feet in order. I also put lotion on my feet and then socks. I have found that Neosporin works really well on athletes foot to clear that up.
