On the other hand, I have a FTing girlfriend who hits the W*lmarts whenever she needs her acrylics redone and gets a pedicure at the same time and so far after 4 years she's had no problems. Me, I'd check out the place first. And we will be in AZ next winter so I may just see if I can join the group at that time.RV Vagabondshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07447102040075632076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-91829509569178024162011-02-19T12:22:35.401-05:002011-02-19T12:22:35.401-05:00Sorry Froggi...

Not sure what I'll do when I'm on the road... Since we're trying to watch the budget I only got one mani/pedi this winter right before Christmas. But Spring is coming and I'm feeling the need for a good pedicure. Luckily a friend gave me a gift certificate for my recent birthday. Time to cash it in!<br><br>I also have 3 massage gift certificates gathering dust. Really need to use them but I guess I'm scared. Never had a stranger put their hands on my nekid body!

There are many spa's and salons that offer manicures and pedicures as part of their services. I love pedicures and if you ask for softer rubbing during the massage period it shouldn't be a problem for them. My favorite part if the toenail grooming.<br><br>I'm using a new product on my fingernails called Creative Nail Design Shellac. It's supposed to only be available at salons, but I've gotten it elsewhere. It wears like acrylic (lasts for 2 weeks) then you take it off and redo it! It's isn't like acrylic at all. I love it.<br><br>I probably should have gone to nail tech school. I used to give my friends pedicures.... maybe you girls should look me up? Here's a tip for you. If you schedule an appt. go a bit early and observe. After a pedicure, they should fill the chairs' tub with water and cleaning chemical and scrub it down. OR spray it with chemical and scrub and rinse it. If they don't do that, walk away. You're not out any money. Also watch what instruments and towels they use. Do they sterilize the instruments? And use clean towels for each patron?<br><br>When traveling I wouldn't go to the type of shop I mentioned in the beginning... call a spa or salon. Ask how many pedi chairs they have. If they only have one or two, you know they don't do that many pedi's. If they have several chairs; it's a good business for them.<br><br>Okay, I'm done! ;o)meowmommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01209824648988317879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-43783406612847548642011-02-18T10:51:30.019-05:002011-02-18T10:51:30.019-05:00Donna, you don't need a manicure if you get th...Donna, you don't need a manicure if you get these motorcycle gloves... http://www.helimot.com/shopexd.asp?id=325DChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01248713708951896415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-66841758206569902952011-02-18T09:18:05.031-05:002011-02-18T09:18:05.031-05:00Love, love, LOVE my monthly mani/pedis!
