Warm weather is here, and little piggies everywhere are coming out for the first time in months. As you bravely strap on your gladiator sandals and opened-toed heels, you may be wishing you’d splurged for that pedicure after all!
With the economy struggling, more women are skipping their weekly manis and pedis in favor of at-home spa treatments. According to Dr. Oliver Zong, a top podiatrist based in New York City, “At-home pedicures are a great option not only for women who want to save money, but also to avoid potentially dangerous conditions at their local spa.” Dr. Zong had some simple tips to help keep your feet looking great all summer long:
- Bacteria can flourish in dark, wet places, such as a bathroom medicine cabinet. Be sure to sanitize your nail clippers by soaking them in boiling water and wiping them down with rubbing alcohol every couple of weeks.
- Say NO to self-surgery! Anything that hurts, such as removing deep-set ingrown toenails, will cause more harm to your feet than good. If you have a painful nail, see a doctor right away.
- Check expiration dates for beauty products like foot scrubs, lotions, or soaks. Open containers that sit around for a long time unused can collect bacteria and easily infect any cuts or blisters you may have on your feet.
- Use simple Epsom salt and warm water to relieve and revive tired feet. It often has similar properties as fancy spa soaks but can cost tons less at the drugstore.
- Give your toes time to breathe. Nails are their healthiest when they are exposed to air and water. When changing nail polish colors, check nails to make sure they are not discolored –this is a classic sign of toenail fungus and can go unnoticed if nails are always painted.

I know with photoblogs we have an extra problem people may know where the comment button is but just dont know what to write, in fear they may say something silly “I love the depth of field in this image, whatever that is” or more often how many time can they say “lovely shot”, if I get 10 comments on an image I am on top of the moon unfortunately it does not happen to much, photobloggers love comments like everyone else so its a tough graft
