Sandal season is upon us, ladies. That means it’s time to brush up on the 8 Commandments of this mostly lovely, but potentially gross, foot-baring season. Feel free to add your own.
1. Thou shalt shave your toes. (That’s right, shave your toes. We all have little hairs on them and we totally forget about it in the winter because our toes are only briefly bared during the transfer from one pair of socks to the next. Clean ‘em up.)
2. Thou shalt use lotion. (On your legs. And your feet. And on any other exposed skin because white, crackly flakes - or skin that is "ashy," as it was called in my high school - are not nice to look at.)
3. Thou shalt invest in a Ped Egg or at the very least some powerful exfoliating scrub. (Your heels should look like heels, not hooves.)
4. Thou shalt not spend unnecessarily on professional manicures. (Seriously, just using a base coat, topcoat and giving yourself enough drying time will make your toes look salon-perfect. For free.)
5. Thou shalt shave your legs every day. (Yes, every day.)
6. Thou shalt avoid the French pedicure. (Why? Because this involves having toenails that are long enough to have a white tip. And it looks weird.)
7. Thou shalt not wear colors appropriate for a 12 year old. (Even if you work in a really creative environment where people actually wear flips flops, like I do, it’s still not a good idea to have alternating polish colors, weird neons or glitter on your toes.)
8. Thou shalt encourage the man in your life to groom his feet. (Nothing is worse than a guy in sandals with overgrown toenails or hoof-like heels. Or both.)

Ahh, Heather- you always make me laugh. Mostly because I completely agree with you! : )
Ha! I agree except for the shaving legs one. I HATE shaving my legs, but I promise, if I sleep with you in Vegas, I will shave daily!
and that is the gospel according to Heather... ;-)
Amen.
