Treat your feet right

You're back on campus? Maybe your kids back are in school? Or it's just been a long day? ... either way, you must be beat this week. After a warm shower, why not treat yourself to a quick 7 minute at-home pedicure.

1) The first step to a flawless pedi is to remove your old nail polish. You probably don’t think twice about what nail polish remover you use, but it does make a difference to the health of your nails. Use a non-acetone based polish, because it is more gentle and won’t dry out nails.

2) Unless your toenails are really long, file nails, instead of clipping them. Filing allows for greater control of the length and the shape to give you a prettier pedi. File the edges of the nails at an angle for a softer shape.

3) Use a foot balm like Urban Sugarbaby's Feet Treat. This balm gives a warm sensation as it is massaged in and doesn't leave a greasy feel. The neem provides itch relief, while the peppermint and menthol soothes aches and swelling from high heels or being on your feet all day. When applying, pay special attention to your heels and other rough areas as you massage the balm in.

4) Use a toe separator to keep toenails from hitting each other and potentially smudging your polish. Paint toes with a pretty polish.

This personal treat is inexpensive, relaxing and fun!
