Happy Feet- pamper mission #1

Every woman deserves to be pampered, even if she has to do it herself. So here are some tips/guidelines for a great at home pedicure


*Use a foot file or pumice stone in the shower (or bath) to buff away calluses
*Dry feet thoroughly with towel after shower
*Soften feet with shea butter, coconut oil, or lotion of choice
*Trim nails carefully- don't cut them too short
*Gently push back cuticles - if you don't have the tool for this, use a pencil eraser wrapped in tissue
*Swab nails with polish remover
*Use a nail polish with 1 coat coverage
*Blow dry toes on warm for 2 minutes and then cold for 1 minute

Repeat as needed.
Make sure to show off your cute little toes, maybe in your favorite set of comfy flip flops?

Great Workout site

I recently found this website through an Ad of Facebook.
Their short workout videos explain each exercise clearly. I especially like the fact that the categorized it based on where you are in your pregnancy- by trimester, post-natal & active mom. If you are still trying to conceive, i assume any exercise listed under active mom would be ok to try...

...remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program (Yes I HAD to say that)
