SPRING PRETTY FEET!

Well, my friends, spring is here. 
It is time to get those feet pretty
and those toes painted nail artsy. 

I have my own foot bath that I find soothing and calming.  My solution
is also good for heel exfoliation and 
has a deodorizer.

I have seen several websites that have good foot baths, soaks, and pedicure 
tips. I prefer to do my own pedicures.
I do them more often in the spring and summer.

We ladies love sandals,wedges and flip flops. Pretty feet are a must for classy
ladies of all ages.

 

EASY-HOME PEDICURE SHORTCUTS

Dip feet into a tub of warm water 
and pat dry. Massage a handful of
a scrub onto the skin. Choose an 
oil-based product, which will 
moisturize as it exfoliates dead, 
dry cells.



“Quickly file nails straight across 
to even out their shape,” says 
Ann Moore,a nail technician at 
the Camelback Inn, in Scottsdale,
Arizona.

Wipe off any oil left on the nails
from the foot scrub with polish
remover. Then apply a quick-
drying topcoat to make nails 
look shiny.

FRANKIE'S FOOT SOAK

Fill a tub with hot water, add tea
bags and baking soda. Stir baking

after they have steeped.

Rinse feet with warm water and

NAILS MUST BE FILED STRAIGHT ACROSS

SMC COLLECTIBLES, ANGELS

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES

SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC)

I began collecting angels after 
I saw an article in the guide post 
magazine. The lady had a picture
of her angel collection on the first
page. I thought this was a great 
hobby.

Now I have three curio cabinets full
of angels. My husband realized I was 
a serious about my angel collection.
He began buying me beautiful angels
for my Christmas present.  He even 
bought me the curio cabinets to put
them in. 

I even had friends who collected 
frogs, elephants, penguins, and
sock monkeys. We helped each 
other hunt for collectibles.Some
of them bought me angels when 
they traveled overseas. I have 
beautiful angels from Africa and
Hawaii because of my traveling

friends.

MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING:

* Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect

* Choose one item that interest you. 

Some people do theme collecting like
vintage toys and  porcelain figurines

or Military dog tags.

* Hunt for your collectible(s) at thrift 

stores.

* Valuable collectibles can be purchased 

on Web of course.

* Increase your collectibles  by getting 

them as gifts for birthday & Christmas.

* Have your friends & relatives help you search for collectibles.

 

I'll feature a new collectible each month. This should help beginners find something  they  want to collect.
