What do you do when you badly need (or want) a pedicure but you don't have the time to go to a nail salon? It's important to have some me-time, everyone knows that, but there are times when there are just too many things to do, appointments to keep, playdates, birthdays parties soccer practice, etc to bring the kids to before you realize it's been weeks seen your feet got a little bit of pampering!

Sounds familiar? Fret not. It's important to keep your feet moisturized at the very least. No matter how well groomed the nails are, your feet won't look any prettier if there are dry patches of skin! For daily use, I like the Miracle of Aloe Miracle Foot Repair Cream. When I see dry patches especially at the heels and corners of the nails, sometimes, I use heavier foot creams, though.

For the nails, if you can't go for the full pedi, buff them at least. Using a nail buffing block, it will only take you a couple of minutes to a clean and smooth set of toenails.

Now, if you have have a bit more time, you could do the full feet spa at home: soak, exfoliate, trim and file, and polish! Or better yet, drive to your nearest salon and get yourself that well-deserved pampering!
