    There is a really funny video out of a comedian telling you what they are really saying.
    That is what we fought over there for isn't it? Cheap manicures? I would love to see the video as I do wonder...

    When I first started going to the salon here I noticed all the technicians have "english" names. The one doing my toes was called "Wanda." I pondered for a while and then, since she speaks more english than most, I asked how they chose the name? Same phonetics as in their native language? Nope. There is a big box with name tags in it and they choose one!

    I used to go and have my feet done every 6-7 weeks - I agree it's wonderful, but I can't afford it anymore. My fingernails I keep short, I can't stand them being long.

    Never......

    Up until 6 months ago I bit my nails... BADLY. Now I give myself my own French manicures

    Although as for Pedicures..... I have heard that in the later stages of pregnancy pedicures and foot massages should be avoided as much as possible as the stimulation may cause contractions and false labour. I read that in my big RULES manual the Dr sent me lol.

    I have never had a pedicure either. I do my own and my hubby massages my feet for me lol poor guy




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
