Are You Paranoid About Your Less-Than-Perfect Pedi?
When you peek at your feet, what do you think? Are you dazzled by your perfectly filed toenails and softer-than-soft heels, or are you none too thrilled with their less than impeccable looks? As this article in The New York Times points out, often, women take way better care of their faces than their tootsies.
Fake Toenails: The Lazy Woman's Pedicure

How Often Do You Get A Pedicure?
Granted, Great Britain isn't sunny, warm or sandal-friendly for most of the year, but having beautiful feet are a fetish of mine. I feel instantly more feminine after getting my feet scrubbed, buffed, smoothed and my toes polished in a pretty shade.
On average, I get a pedicure about every three weeks.
Protect Painted Piggies With Ugg-Like Boots
Oh, look out! These boots might look like Uggs, but they're Bootie Pies ($128), a style of boot designed particularly for winter pedicures. The idea is to slip your pre-polished feet into the boots, then push the front flap down when it's time for lacquer application.
