Wear nail paint with open-toe sandals

style-tips
If you are going to wear open-toe sandals or peep-toes, make sure your nails are painted. However, nude nails don't look that bad if your pedicure is top-notch and your feet are well-groomed and pretty. In fact, nude nails are much better than nails with chipped nail polish. Also, slathering on some weird color nail polish on ugly, uncared for toe-nails and strutting around in peep-toe pumps isn't a pretty sight either.

  1. Toe polish lasts a long time while a manicure doesn't.

    I never wear fingernail polish. It just doesn't last. When I wear sandals I think my toes look naked without some polish. I personally like bright colors on my toes, especially bright red.

  3. I do like to paint my toe nails during the summer. I think it makes my feet look better. I don't care for manicures or pedicures (I know I'm probably in the minority there but, I can't stand the feel of the nail files -- makes me very nauseous) so, I paint my toe nails myself. I like deep reds/maroons and pinks.

    Thanks for wearing toenail polish. Unpolished toenails make me gag. There's just something about them...
    I either wear a white pearlescent polish or bright red.

    I polish my toenails because they look so hideous if I don't. I get v-shaped cracks that run vertically down my toenails, my nails are lumpy from all the times I've smashed my toes, I have large areas where the nail is separated from the nailbed, and sometimes I break off 1/4 or so of a toenail. A light polish sort of blends it all in. I really should try pedicures, but I'm terrified of what they'll say when they see my feet. It seems like no matter how hard I work to get them decent, they look terrible.

    My fingernails are usually either bare or polished with clear only, but in sandal season my toenails are always polished. With all the cooking etc that I do, it chips right off on my fingernails and looks worse than nothing, plus I feel like my fingernails don't really "need" it as much. ON my toes I like muted reds (OPI French Cognac is a fave), soft pinks and corals, or pearly white or beige colors--anything, really, that won't look garish or clash horribly with my clothes or shoes.

  7. I think french manicures make your toenails look bizarrely long...toenails just don't usually have that much white part sticking up.
    I always have my toenails painted...fingernails - hardly ever. My favourite colours are purples and blues....though if veins are a problem these might not be the best choices Last time I got a pedicure I had them paint little flowers on my big toe...very fun. I love pedicures!

    I am not a sandal wearer so, I don't get into the toe polish for myself.

    Soak your nails, then apply your favorite varnish, top coat, and lotion… so nice!

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
