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.

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

HOT WATER
2 TEA BAGS
1/2 CUP BAKING SODA 



Fill a tub with hot water, add tea
bags and baking soda. Stir baking
soda to dissolve. Remove tea bags
after they have steeped.

Relax and do 15 minute foot soak. 
Exfoliation will be easy with this
foot soak. The tea is a deodorizer.



Rinse feet with warm water and
towel dry. Follow up with your
pedicure.


TIP:

NAILS MUST BE FILED STRAIGHT ACROSS
TO AVOID PAINFUL INGROWN TOE NAILS. TRIP TO PODIATRIST WILL BE NECESSARY FOR SEVERE INGROWN TOENAILS.

feet.
TIP:

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

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 toy

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
