I don’t know about you, but come summer and I pretty much live in flip flops. That’s perfectly wonderful comfort wise, but as far as rough heels and calluses go, it’s not so great. I’m almost embaressed to go in and get a pedicure because I don’t want the people at the salon to see the horrible state of my heels! So, I was pretty happy to discover this great kit from Bath and Body Works…it’s their Aromatherapy Feet Treat Stress Relief - Tranquil Mint.

You can use this kit to buff off the dead skin and then moisturize (and make your tootsies smell good and minty!). Better yet, have your husband use the stress relief lotion to give you a nice foot massage while you’re at it Buy it from Bath and Body Works. Get it while it’s hot…right now it’s on sale for just $10.50, marked down from $15.00!

The other day I wrote a post about being adventurous with the nail color blue (Rescue Beauty, ‘Dead Calm’) but if you’re just not a color gal, here’s a few tips to help you pick out The Best Neutral Shades for your nails. One key tip is that the neutral shade should match your skin tone. I have fair skin with a cool tone, so one my best shades for my nails is Essie’s Sugar Daddy, check out yours!

I’m hardly adventorous when it comes to nail colors - it’s either a neutral, light pink, or a deep red - but I’m tired of the same old, same old. So I was watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians (ok, it’s my new guilty pleasure) and Kim Kardashian had on a dark navy blue nail polish that I fell in love with! I found Rescue Beauty Dead Calm which seems to be a close comparison. With navy fashion being all the rage this season, it’ll be perfect! Although, it’s a bit expensive in my taste for nail polish, I haven’t found anything similar and cheaper.

Cost: $18.00

Midnight and metallic blue are hot colors for nails this season. Remember last year how Jessica Simpson showed up with black nail polish and we all thought she had gone goth for a minute? Then we realized black nails were actually really trendy…well this year deep blue is the new black. But I’m telling you, this isn’t an easy color to find!

I don’t normally spend this much on nail polish but it was so worth it. I have been getting compliments everywhere I go on my dark blue nail polish! I splurged and bought the Dior version mostly because I couldn’t find the color anywhere else. It’s called Dior Vernis Long-Wearing Nail Lacquer in Poison Blue and it’s fantastic. When they say long lasting they aren’t kidding! I put on two coats of this stuff and it didn’t even start chipping for such a long time. I was really happy with this product.

Hint: to wear blue or black nail polish without going too vamp, make sure your nails are cut short. It looks best with a short, square manicure.

As a guy, I can safely say that grooming is NOT about feeling like a lady. We want to look and feel our best, handsome and manly. I want products designed for me. I don’t want pink girly clippers with flowers and sparkles and crap like that.

And yet, I want something a little more stylish and sophisticated than the generic nail care tools you buy at the grocery store. Pour Homme offers “…a prestige line of upscale grooming tools specially designed for today’s discriminating man.”

Classy!
