Pamper Your Feet

Winter is finally over and its time to bare those lovely ankles in sexy strap sandals. However, the long winter may have resulted to dry feet and worse, dry and cracked heels. There is no need to panic though, we gals are never left without nothing to do. You can remedy those dry heels with an at-home foot spa treatment. Try inviting your friends over so you can take turns pampering your feet. Foot spa can be inexpensive and fun at the same time.

But before you go about inviting your friends, you first have to choose a foot spa treatment. It does not have to be anything fancy, just your ordinary set of soak, scrub and cream. A file and pumice stone might come in handy too. If you don't have one yet, I'd recommend Lavande's foot spa set. It comes complete with a foot soak, scrub and cream. It's added bonus is the lavender scent. To all those lavender-crazy like me, I'm sure you'll love this set.

Your at-home foot spa treatment can be done in these three easy steps:

Soak

Soak both your feet in warm water for ten to fifteen minutes. Make sure to pour in the foot soak. Lavande's foot soak gives off a soothing aroma that allows you to sit back and relax. It's a foot spa and aroma therapy in one!




Scrub

Next step is to scrub away those dead skin cells that may have formed due to months of wearing closed shoes. Make sure to scrub every part of your feet specially the sole and heel areas, where dry skin is oftentimes plenty. Rinse often and scrub as needed. For thick dead skin cells, you may opt to use a file and pumice. Just be careful not to scrub too much.

Cream

After scrubbing your feet, massage them while applying the cream. Make sure to apply on every part of your feet as the foot scrub may leave your feet dry. You may also use this cream every night before going to bed, so your feet is always moisturized. Our feet do deserve the same attention our face does!

There you have it, three easy steps for an at-home foot spa. You can follow it up with a pretty nail polish. Then your ready to expose those lovely heels in sexy stiletto strap sandals.

Tip: Have a problem with dry and cracked heels? Try applying petroleum jelly on your heels before going to bed. Wearing socks over them helps too.

Last Minute Summer Shopping

After the long months of work, I finally had the time to head for the beach and grab what was left of the summer days. But before I went out on my bikinis, I had to do some last minute shopping and get my own stash of summer essentials. Here’s what I found.

Eyewear

I found this pair of beige RL sunglasses on e-bay. It looks gorgeous on me and highlights my morena skin. It also covers my whole eye area so I’m sure my eyes get the protection they need.

Sun Block

Don’t be afraid to go out in the sun, just be sure you have sun block!

I’m a Nivea fan so I scouted Nivea’s stall for summer finds. I went for my usual SPF 50 Body Lotion and Face Sun Block Moisturising Cream. I like to play beach volley so my SPF 50 sun block ensures my skin is well protected from the sun's harmful UV rays.

Lip Care

I also found this Nivea Lip Care Sun SPF 25 while I was at the Nivea stall. It promises to be waterproof so I won’t have to retouch every time I go for refreshments. I usually use Nivea Lip Care in rose during non-summer months. For my summer trip though, I’d trade my usual lip gloss with my Sun SPF 25 to get that luscious look on my lips.

After-Sun Cooling Gel

My last stop was at Avon, to get my usual cooling gel. Avon has this Bronze After-Sun Cooling Gel made from aloe vera. I’ve used this before and this definitely helps sooth skin after a day under the sun. This is nice to use after a cool shower. You’d instantly get that soothing effect that you’ll long for after a day under the sun!
