Make Up For Your Toes

    Before you get all bent out of shape, take a minute and read this post. It might be answer to those ugly feet you keep hidden in socks at the beach.
Introducing the latest product in podiatry cosmetics. It’s name, Pretty Toes Fade-and-Cover. It’s a new treatment for those nasty scars and black spots on your feet.

   Now, I know the name may lead you to believe it’s a fungus fighting agent. But, in actuality, Pretty Toes, is more of a topical that acts as a concealer and a bleaching system for the skin on your feet and around your toes. According to the products website, customers claim that Pretty Toes is even beneficial for fading spots on ankles, knees and legs.

   Understand this first folks: Fading does not occur instantly but, rather over time. But until then you can cover your scars with this waterproof makeup designed specifically for your feet.


Please note***
"This unique product is formulated for the foot and ankle and is NOT recommended for use on the face." I know some of yall are some bleachers out there. Lol...

Live Fish Pedicure

   Ladies and gents, there’s a pedicure out and it is far from average. We all love treating ourselves to a good foot scrubbing, toe cleaning, and a fresh coat of polish, but let me tell you… this pedicure involves LIVE FISH. Yeah… you read right, I SAID LIVE FISH.
   Imagine going to your local nail salon and dunking your feet into a bath filled with small, dark fish. The little, toothless, flesh-eating fish nibble away at dead skin leaving behind a healthy layer of epidermis. The live fish pedicure is definitely an alternative to the unsanitary razors and pumice stones currently used by most salons.
   The fish spend about 15 minutes eating away the surface layer of skin that’s typically hard, dry and cracked. Once the fish are removed, clients are given a standard pedicure. Mmm… Not too sure how I feel about this one, but I am up for trying something new.

BIGGER is ALWAYS better!

    Some are born with them, while others try to achieve the look by any means possible. Ladies (and gents who want to achieve the fierce look too), I am here to tell look no further! For those of you who are scared of trying the false lashes in fear of looking like Mrs. Snuffleupagus, I have found a product that will allow you to achieve the same voluptuous, long lashes without the hassle and for a fraction of the cost too.

     I have always been a fan Maybelline mascara, but they have really out done themselves with their Lash Stiletto. It definitely delivers on its promise of “lengthening lashes with a shiny patented finish.” I decided to try out the waterproof version and I am very happy with results- longer, thicker lashes minus the clump.

IT’S A WINNER TO ME!

You can find Maybelline Lash Stiletto in your local drug store for around $7.

Save Money Go Natural

       In a poor economy where jobs are hard to come by, black women are finding themselves in a whirlwind of financial hardship. Our devotion to the church, friends and family has us lending out money where sometimes we don’t have it to give. And while this devotion and eagerness to help out those in need is praiseworthy, this attitude of lending money and shopping compulsively is leaving black women behind in the race to financial freedom in the areas of stability, security and long-term savings.
      We haven’t quite given up our old spending habits to better accommodate the weakened state of our economy. In essence, we’re still buying what we want, when we want it and sometimes feeling guilty about it later, according to Rhonda Mims, president of the ING Foundation and senior vice president of ING's Office of Corporate Citizenship & Responsibility.
       In an article titled, “Where Do Most Black Women Spend Their Money?” it is argued that this risky behavior is a direct result of making purchases on credit. If we can’t physically see the money coming from our purses, we don’t really comprehend how much we’re spending.
      
Going natural seems to be sweeping the nation. We all know an auntie, cousin, or sister who has taken the oath to reconnect with her roots and embrace blackness. At first, I couldn’t understand why. Yall know that, that in between stage ain’t pretty and going natural brings on a whole new set of challenges like not feeling as cute, needing more variety in hairstyles and finding somebody who can handle that hair without complaining their fingers are getting cut and/or blistering. (Or maybe that’s just my hair) But it makes sense to me now.
