The Importance of Pampering Oneself

I am not a high maintenance kind of girl.  I own makeup, and occasionally I even put it on for family pictures and the occasional night out with the hubs.  My fingernails are usually kind of chipped and funny-shaped, so I just cut them as short as I can.  I tend to have my hair in a ponytail most of the time, because it's just more practical.  But there's something every girl should do, and that's get a pedicure.  Yes, it's nice to have pretty toenails when flip flop season comes around (which seems doubtful this year), and that's one reason to get a pedicure.  But did you know that they also massage your feet and calves, scrub and scrape off anything rough off the soles of your feet, and they exfoliate, too.  This sounds great, doesn't it?  It's the best kind of pampering.  And think about it.  What part of your body gets the most use during the day?  (Don't be naughty.)  Probably your hands.  But, at least for me, my hands get attention:  lotion, soap, sanitizer, etc.  What about your feet?  If you're like me, and spend most of your day on your feet, those poor feet get just as much wear and not nearly enough attention.  If I think about it before bed, which is kind of rare, I slap some lotion on and fall into bed.  Those tootsies deserve some pampering!  And that, my friends, is why I think every woman deserves regular pedicures.
