Pedicure Alert!

After reading Dee and Angels posts on waxing a couple of weeks back, I looked at my feet and was horrified to see the state of them. My feet were in a state of neglect, the colour had chipped off and there was one ugly pair of feet staring right back at me.
Recently I have been scared to venture for pedicures to salons afer hearing not once but many times about women picking up toe wounds and yucky stuff (lets not go into the details).

Being too lazy to do the pedicure myself, I thought why not treat myself at a good salon where fingers crossed nothing untoward to would happen to me.

There I was seated in a nice cushy seat and reading the hello magazine. I heard the customer next to me instruct her girl not to scrub her toe cause she has a wound.

ARGHh with a horrified look i turned and saw the womans feet it had a big wound right near below her toe nail.

Salon Girl : What happened madam ? (scrubbing around the wound at a rate)
customer : I got this wound from getting a pedicure here last time. Two months back. its not going off. (this was said very non-chalantly)

I almost had an asthma attack, grabbed my feet right out of the pedicure bench and gave an excuse of a meeting. Paid some money and scurried off to wash my legs with hot water.
Yes yes My feet are fine. I am just so very upset and horrified that the woman was not bothered by this toe wound thing which probably is there to stay for a bit, also the salon girl acting as if it was a normal thing.
Get a pedicure and a wound free!

Salons, probably do not have a proper way of cleaning or sterilizing their equipments.
Its back to home pedicure again. anyone know any place really clean for pedicures???

Price of Beauty

No I am not selling any beauty products yet but this is about the pain involved in the name of beautifying oneself. Maybe its just that I am totally pain prone big time but getting the eyebrows done or waxing is just too painful experience for me. That’s secondary to childbirth ( I am not even going to go there since that’s over and done with )this eyebrow business with a big OUCH is really unbearable.

Then why do women put themselves into so much pain. Obvious reason being you don’t want to look like a gorilla. Jokes apart its part of being groomed I guess. It does make a difference you get your eyebrows done properly its like your face is more clearer. Like “ I can see clearly now…….”

The other day while getting my eye brows done and crying so much with it, I was wondering how Cleopatra got hers done in those days. What with her bathing in the milk business and all I am sure she was very well groomed and had the perfect arched eyebrows.

Have no clue why I blogged the above crap just now. Anyways ……….
