three things of interest
First, my toes are cute! Pedicures tickle. But it’s okay, I can always use a good laugh. One thing though - I would rather get cocoa butter than cheap lotion. This is the second time I’ve paid someone money to pamper my feet, and this is the second time I’ve been disappointed with the moisturizer. Should I bring my own? Shoot, should I have to? This is why I’m glad for my frugality sometimes - I could have done as good a job myself. But I’m glad I could afford this pedicure, because I really didn’t want to take the time to do the job myself. (Is this what "I’ve got more money than time means?" Ooohhhhh…)
Second, I am so proud of Serenity - Please check out her blog, she is living my dream right now and is such an inspiration.
Third, I am not surprised that Starbucks has to scale down. People are probably spending their latte money on gas. I’m happy to not have to spend my money on either nowadays.
Yes this is a lazy post, but guess what? I’m having a lazy week. I have earned it. This week I am pretending to be a woman of financial means by playing the role of the princess - pedicure, massage, vacation, nice hotel… I’ll go back to being a hardworking, distracted-by-reality, hustling-to-get-ahead peon next week.
Awwwwee. Thanks Sistah Ant!
My pleasure to shout you out.

I feel the SAME way about pedicures. I am usually happy with the work they do (eventhough I only get them out of desperation) and am never pleased with the crap cream they use. at $25.00 a pop, I expect a cream that at least leaves a feeling of moisture. Not dry ass feet 2 seconds later.
Exactly my point!

Greetings Sistah Ant, here is what’s really good for moisturizer 100% Shea Butter,find an African store near your home or go online @ www.africaimports.com and purchase it and take it along with you, also use it every night on your feet or skin period…It’s Great!
Actually, I already have some shea butter, and maybe I should just take some with me the next time I get a pedicure… of course, given that it’s been two years since my last one, it will probably be too long between now and my next pedicure to remember to bring shea butter along!

I had a coworker who used to bring all her own products to the salon because she’d been to cosmetology school and was picky about the product they used on her. That’s made me think it’s normal.

I would bring my own lotion….I’ve never had a pedicure…I just do my own.
