Outsourcing My Toesies

This month has become unnecessarily busy.  I'm glad that I'm finding time to blog at all! (okay..so I'm cheating...I'm at work/my volunteer job...)

But I'm finding that I won't really have time OR money to get my toes done and still have them look good for Valentine's Day.  Plus, I have one color that I really really want to use, and it would be much more apropos for February (dark and dreary time in the winter, and starting to need more light).

I've also decided that instead of getting a pedicure in January, the money that I would have spent on that (just about $40) will go towards my trip to Greece.   I'm unfortunately quite a bit behind in my savings because of all the unemployment stuff, but I'm slowly getting there.

So, I would like to start encouraging others to take pictures of their pedicures and send them on over to me!  Maybe tell a little story about your impressions, why you desperately needed a pedicure, and any other bits of information you'd like to share.

Here's what I would like to know:
  • When you got your pedicure
  • The name of the salon and the city it's located in.
  • The name of the nail technician
  • Do you usually get this style or are you trying something new? 
  •  What lead you to get your pedicure?  Is it for self care or just a day out with the girls or just because?

I'd really like to encourage everyone to get to know the technicians at your local nail salons.  Even if you don't like the idle chit chat with them (or maybe there's a language barrier), at least find out what their names are!  They're doing you a grand service by getting that close to your toes!

  1. It's funny because awhile back I thought about posting a pic of my pedi and then I saw your profile! I never got around to it... Anyway to answer your questions 'cause I'm obsessed with getting my toes "did"

    When you got your pedicure- I try to go every 2 weeks but something my toes look good up to a month. (China Glaze all the way!)

    The name of the salon and the city it's located in- Best Hair & Nail in Arlington, TX...right by the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium.

    The name of the nail technician- Ana. She's the owner & has the memory of an elephant.

    Do you usually get this style or are you trying something new?- I typically got a french pedi and then when October hit I started getting all the kooky, tacky things I wouldn't normally get. ie crazy colors & designs.

    What lead you to get your pedicure? Is it for self care or just a day out with the girls or just because?- I hate my feet and don't feel right it they aren't properly manicured.
