Getting my body ready for Spring!

As mine is currently attached to the floor, I've a long way to go! ?

My beauty bar’s so low I ought to try limbo dancing under it to get fitter! ?

Last Saturday I had the first part of my micro blading on my eyebrows, go back in a month to have it finished off…

Riverwalk, I hold you responsible for the awful crepey legs ad popping up!
Doing toenails today. No further plans. There’s no way I could limbo dance under my bar.

Funnily enough, I’ve recently been thinking that I’m long overdue for a pedicure. I do it myself, a good soak in a bowl of warm soapy water first, which sits on an old beach towel in the sitting room, telly on while I do it. ?

Yes. Topped up the lotions and potions on a spending spree, yesterday. Like coming out of a cocoon.
Getting ready for my first holiday abroad in two years.

I know two people who've had micro-blading - it's very effective and looks great.

Good for you Riverwalk a kind of spring cleaning but for you. I bet it feels good. I asked my nail lady for a bright colour this time- I usually have the darkest red possible but I am cerise now for Spring. I also bought myself a pink jacket from Boden with a little windfall- pricey but an investment.

Yep. Pedicure last week (home one), toes all done. Got the body butters out from the drawer and legs and feet are already feeling nicer. We've even got out of our lockdown diet and both lost a few pounds without even trying.

My body will be ready when the sun it out. No extra prep. I take that back. I might put on some toenail polish.

Yes - will have a pedicure before the summer , when the sandals come out. Till then , I shall trim my toenails myself (with great difficulty).

I agree,this is the second time I’ve had it done,the last time was four years ago but it does hurt, it’s strange it’s not painful but it hurts

My eyebrows have thinned and have lots of grey in them, would microblading be ok?

I’ve been getting my feet ready for sandals since the new year. Ever time I put on a pair of socks I lather up my feet with any old cream I have knocking around and they are super soft.

I get given a lot of hand cream and suchlike, far more than my hands can use. I've been slathering it on my legs and feet at bedtime so it soaks in under my pj's all night. It's working well.

Toenails not fit for viewing yet but I am as slim and toned as I'm likely to be at my age.

Yes I’m the same as you , I’m doing my bit for my bod! Pedicure etc , extra moisturising, haircut, I pluck eyebrows myself, dye my own hair, don’t have my nails done but do paint those myself, looking forward to spring and summer

Does this mean I need to epilate my legs, I might bung up the blades!
Can someone please enlighten this ignorant one, what does a full pedicure involve, my toenails get painted at the moment, what else is there? Thanks.

You won't regret doing that, good for you.. Love mine.

I had my referral letter through for my bunion operation today. Does that count?

Yes, bunions count!

They vary but usually, a soak in warm scented water, old colour removed, nails clipped and shaped, cuticles and any hard skin dealt with, foot massage with oil/lotion, base coat and 2 coats of colour on nails. And there you go - lovely feet!

My nails are now a fetching shade of mauve

Apart from the massage, that’s more or less what I do at home, Riverwalk.

A timely thread Riverwalk
I have sorely neglected any form of beauty regime, very dry skin which is crying out for more hydration, I had my go to remedy which leaves my skin soft and nourished. I had a Cleopatra bath, so called as it contains a litre of milk, half a bag of Dead Sea salts and a few drops of lavender oil. Soak for 20 mins. and the result is soft, hydrated skin with the added bonus of feeling very relaxed. I finish off doing a manicure and pedicure. All done and nowhere to go!?
One positive is, post menopause, no need to shave legs/under arm as the only hair left is on my head, thinner than it was but thank goodness still plenty left.

Before I do a pedicure I soak my feet in a basin of water with a large handful of porridge oats, softens the skin beautifully and I then apply CCS foot care cream and massage.
