~LET'S PAMPER OURSELVES~........

Hello ladies!


Now that the weather is getting nice, tons of ladies are in full force for pedicures.....Cheer's for pedicures!!!!
I looove pedicures I do them year round , it is a MUST that my feet are always done and looking good.  I am a stickler about that, From years of experience working in hair salons ( and lets not forget the help of beauty school) I learned how to do pedicures...just as if you've went to the nail salon.  Along with a fabulous pedicure comes a good ole fashion foot soaking, and the best thing about this part is if you feel its not time to get an actually pedi.  You can simply skip that part and solely focus on soaking and pampering your feet.....and what's even better than that is ...it can all be done in the comfort of your very own home!

One thing I really enjoy  adding to my foot bath are Essential oils, while many EO's serve different purpose's.  Find one that will suit your needs.  Lavender & Peppermint are my favorites.  You can use them separately one week using lavender EO the following week or two using peppermint EO.  Or you can get super creative and mix them together.  Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang oils are said to be favorites as well, along with tea tree Essential  oil  they all have great soothing effects and lets not forget Eucalyptus and lemon EO'S....all great stuff!

Simple and very easy recipe:

Water ( amount depending on the type of foot bather your using) enough to cover your ankles

2-5 drops of Lavender , peppermint EO ( or Essential Oil of choice)

1/2 cup of  Epsom salt ( love that stuff)

Boil the water , allow it to cool down to your liking,
Add Lavender oil ( or oil of choice) along with the Epsom Salt
soak....relax and ...enjoy!

ANOTHER OPTION:

Following the very same steps, however this time skipping the Epsom Salt.

2-5 drops of peppermint
2 drops of Eucalyptus EO and 1 drop of lemon EO
Sit back and relax!

The very best part about DYI pedicures and foot baths are you know where your tools have been, and  that they are clean and sanitized. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by, and remember to stay...Naturally Fabulous!

Sit back...Relax...and Enjoy those pedicures!

HONEY....A TREAT FOR YOUR FEET....

Hey fabulous naturals!

As you know our feet are a very important part of our body.  So why not take excellent care of them.  I love to pamper my feet and do so as much as I can.  We know that some of us rave about the wonders of honey for our hair.  Well, honey is also just as great for our feet.  We can use honey in our pedicures which helps in elimination of accumulated toxins and help in make our feet feel alive!  There are many ways you can use honey in your natural pedicures below I will share a recipe that I found and have been using on my feet for quite some time ( I don't know why I haven't shared this earlier :(

When choosing your honey try your very best to use organic honey.  I am not sure of what the results are if you use non organic honey.  But , hey if that's what you have on hand.  Try it , and see how it works for this recipe.  Now , lets get started...

YOU WILL NEED:

2 black tea bags
1 Teaspoon of honey
1 Teaspoon of lemon
And a bucket full of hot- warm water
Pumice stone

Allow your feet to soak in this mixture for about 15-20 minutes.  Grab a book, a cup of tea, sit back and allow your feet to go to work.  After, your time is up your skin should be nice and soft and ready to be free of any excess skin that may have been there.  Here's where your pumice stone comes in , you will use this to get rid of all or any dead skin you may have.

NOW MOISTURIZE:

2 Tablespoons of honey
2 Tablespoons of coconut oil, sweet almond oil , or even jojoba oil.

Mix, mix, mix into a bowl.  Rub it generously on to your feet and keep it on for 20-30 minutes.  It's a perfect time to pick that book back up, sip another cup of tea, etc.  Tip: I usually put a pair of old socks on my feet at this point or wrap saran wrap around my feet, the results are great! After, your 20-30 minute's is up rinse your feet with warm soapy water.

And ENJOY!

Thanks for reading and remember stay naturally fabulous.
