Another New Day: putting me first

Get Your Feet in Tip Top Condition

I don't know about you , but I am one of those people who BOTHER.

By bother I mean , bother about my clothes and hair and make up.

I enjoy deciding what to wear.

I like buying new items.

I love getting a new colour on my hair - in fact I am not sure what colour my hair would be now if I left it alone - probably very grey.

I feel great when my skin is in good condition.

BUT

As you get older it takes longer doesn't it ....doesn't it?

So ...

I approach this a bit like housekeeping - a little and often .

Apart from my daily routine (more on this next week), which like the basics of housekeeping - the cooking, the washing up, the making beds etc has to be done every day , I do extras on a regular basis .

Each Saturday I will be doing a Beauty Housekeeping Task to keep on top of my skincare routines.

Join me if you wish! Or Laugh at my decadence!

This week I suggest Tackling your Feet for a mid season sort out.

Soak your feet in a bowl of warm water with a drop of oil to soften.
Rub away dry skin with a pumice stone or similar
Use a natural based scrub on your feet to smooth and exfoliate
Rinse in cool water and dry.
Massage in some cream - I use Body Butter from The Body Shop, but only because I love it.
Use a cuticle cream to tidy up cuticles and a file to shape your nails - remember to file in one direction only - I use the buffing square from Boots
If required give your nails a couple of coats of nail polish to finish , using a base and a top coat to get it to last longer.
