Spending oodles getting regular pedis? It’s easy, quick and affordable to do at home…
Soak. Soak your feet with a foot soak for about 5-10 minutes.
Scrub. Apply a scrub to your feet then use a foot file to remove dead skin and calluses. This Ms. Pedicure kit includes most of the tools needed with the exception of a cuticle trimmer.
Push and clean. Push cuticles forward gently with a cuticle stick, trim dead/raised cuticles with cuticle scissors carefully, and scrub above and below the nail with a nail brush.
Buff. Lightly buff toenail ridges, rinse and towel dry.
Staying power. Put on toe separators then apply a basecoat to prolong the life of your polish. Finish with 1-2 coats of your favorite nail polish and enjoy your Pretty Pedi for several weeks!
Pressed for time? Divide the steps above over a few days. Clear or light pink polishes are best for pedis on the go!

About the Author

You can call me Tranquil Beauty. After spending a good portion of my life being disillusioned by my mind, I’m finally on a path led by my true self. I'm here because I've been blessed by the wisdom of so many others who powerfully emulate what it means to live guided by their own purpose. I'm profoundly grateful to share the knowledge I’ve gained after being enlightened by Neale Donald Walsch, Rick Warren, Eckhart Tolle, and Shakti Gawain (to name only a few). I feel this wisdom has permeated my being and shifted my focus from the past and the limitations of my mind to a state of pure consciousness that seeks to honor my true self. I've been a personal development fanatic since 1999. Some books that have influenced the website include Friendship with God, The Purpose Driven Life, The Power of Now, A New Earth, and Creative Visualization.
My passion for beauty started at a very young age. Though primarily driven by personal struggles with fine curly hair and combination skin, my beauty expertise grew over the years from devouring numerous beauty publications and trying mounds of products. After wasting piles of money testing top of the line products, I've learned that expensive beauty products aren’t necessarily better products.
Making a commitment to realize your beauty inside and out is a choice each and every moment. I believe strongly that we all have an innate power to create fulfilling lives. I vow to accept nothing less for those who wish to join me on that journey!
