At-Home Pedicure Tips & Tools

Press Sample (Affiliate Links) 

If your winter feet aren't ready for the holidays, and need some TLC before you wear your new fabulous holiday shoes, then I am so excited to share my super-easy, and ultra-relaxing at-home pedicure tips.

Six Easy Steps:

Step 1: Wash your feet with warm soapy water in a basin.

Step 2: While your feet are soaking in the basin, gently exfoliate dead skin cells with a glass file that can be used on wet feet. Tip: Exfoliate very gently because the water softens up your feet, and therefore you don't need to use the same force that you would when filing dry feet. Trust me, take the less is more approach– otherwise you could end up over-exfoliating and doing far more damage than good! Currently loving: Mont Bleu Glass Foot File

Step 3: Thoroughly rinse feet and empty the basin.

Step 4: Rinse out the basin and refill it with warm water and add a small amount of foot oil to moisturize your freshly exfoliated feet. Let feet soak for about 10-15 minutes. Rinse feet and empty the basin. Currently loving: VILACT 24/7 Foot Bath Oil with Lactoactive

Step 5: Massage foot cream into slightly damp feet, and let it sink in thoroughly. Currently loving: VILACT 24/7 Foot Cream with Lactoactive

Step 6: Paint your toes and go! Currently loving: Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish

If you are seeking new nail files, then Mont Bleu has effective and beautiful files that are perfect to give as holiday gifts.

Whether you are looking to find lovely gifts for mom this Mother's Day, or are looking to add some new deliciously scented body care products to your daily routine– then I have a few new-to-me boxcar products that I would like to share with you. The Camille Beckman products that I have been testing have heavenly tropical scents that delight the senses, while the rich emollient formulas heal chapped and dry skin and lips. I have only tried their Glycerine Hand Therapy, For Therapy and Lip Balm, but that is enough to know that I want to try more of their products.

Camille Beckman Glycerine Hand Therapy Mango Beach No. 2 ($13.95 for 6 oz. from Camille Beckman): This creamy dreamy formula is rich and emollient, but it does not leave hands greasy. Instead, it transforms dry, chapped hands into soft, smooth and supple skin. It does an exemplary job healing dry cuticles, and is a perfect choice for at-home manicures. The delicious mango aroma fades before too long, and therefore won't interfere with any fragrances that you might wish to wear.
