Summer Manifesto #9

At the weekend, I finally found time for a much needed pedicure. I love how my feet feel after a foot bath and I love this summery nail colour. Hoping that this can become a habit.

Summer Pedicure

Finally able to comfortably reach my toes again, I tried out a new nail polish this week. I usually go for bright pinks and reds for summer but was tempted into this cool turquoise at Douglas recently and I love it. It feels bright and summery but at the same time cool and calming - just what I need right now. Will be using it lots this season.

27 things...Have an Appy Feet Pedicure

While we were back in England we also crossed another thing off my list of 27 things to do before I turn 27.  We went for a fish pedicure.  This is something I wanted to do ever since we saw a new fish pedicure shop in York at Christmas and when we got back to Morley we found out that a new spa had opened (soak spa) on the main street there so we tried it out.

It was brilliant.  It's a little freaky at first as it tickles a lot but you soon get used to it and then it's quite relaxing.  Nico hates having his feet touched but he even enjoyed it!

First we had to soak our feet for about fifteen minutes, then we could put them in the fish tanks and it's amazing how fast they go to your feet!  They don't have teeth or anything so there's nothing to fear, it really does just tickle.  We had fifteen minutes with our feet in there and afterwards I also had a foot massage with nice foot cream and it was like walking on air!  This was all for just ten pounds.  I bought my friend a voucher and will definitely go again...try it!

These boots were made for walking...

So this week I got some new shoes for my birthday - thanks Mum! - and decided to break them in on Sunday when we went to see our new flat.  (Yep, we got the flat we went for last week, two balconies and the whole top floor for us!)  Unfortunately, I didn't take my old shoes with me and the weather reached 30 degrees yesterday.  You can see the results below (don't look if you're eating)

I'm going to give it until the blisters go down and then try again.  I've never gotten along with flip flops but I need some summer shoes and yes, a pedicure...  I have to recommend compeed blister plasters though - they are amazing!
