I know this is strange....

....but, I just think that feet are so unattractive. It may be because my mom use to put her feet under my legs when we would squeeze on our love seat to watch TV as I was growing up and WIGGLE them....which drove me insane.....that could have something to do with it! Anyway, since I really don't like feet, I always try to keep them looking as good as I possibly can. You don't always have to go get a pedicure....you can do your own! If you buy some fun tools, like emery boards that have a fun design on them, or fun foamies that go between your toes while you paint, you can make it fun! I like to do my toes with my daughter. I bought her some fun "peace" theme stickers to put on her toes! I usually use the same color, but if you like to share colors with your daughter, that is fun too! Happy toes to you!!!

Comments, and input are welcome!

New tip....

....hello, friends, here is another tip for today....as we get older, (especially women), it is more and more difficult to do exercises that are more jarring to the body....I use to run, and do a Mommy workout class at the park. However, running up and down stairs or on the road hurts.....admittedly, I kept doing it because it is better than feeling 'jiggly'.....lol! When my daughter was born, I acquired an injury while I was running one day, plantar fascitis.....not fun!!! It felt like I broke something in the arch of my foot....that took 14 months to heal. I started exercising again, and then, I acquired a new injury in my shoulder....I have extreme tendinitis! That took an MRI, needles, Rx, and PT to fix. Finally, this past year, I had a friend mention to me that she belongs to an indoor pool and does laps - sounds boring - right? Well, since we meet each other, it is GREAT! It is low impact, the cost of membership is very inexpensive, and I LOVE it! The pool is always warm enough to jump right in, I swim for an hour, and it has totally changed my life! It is an all over body workout! So, this goes along with one of my motto's of life, if you don't like how something is going, change it! You are in charge! Good luck and happy exercising! :)

I have decided to change.....

....the feeling and content of my blog a bit....I don't want to be a bummer, nor do I want this to be a place where I vent. Now, I am going to post tips. I have been told by many of my friends that I have great ideas and that I should blog about them....well, here goes! Today's tip: it has to do with fashion. My suggestion is this, if you are feeling a little down about your figure, a way to trick the eye is to wear something that brings your eye to an area that is attractive about yourself. For example, I am not a huge fan of my midsection, so, since I have always been told that I have great hair and a great smile, I bring the eye up towards my face by wearing a big, bright, fun necklace! That way, if it is colorful and sparkly, you are looking at my necklace and not my "problem" areas! (You should see my necklace collection! LOL!) Now, in this economy, jewelry is somewhat of a luxury, so another tip is to find stores that have clearance sections, or deal online. This is how I have such a variety in my repertoire! Happy accessorizing!
