Who knew that our feet could be a sexy part of our anatomy?  When you think about all the abuse they get every single day how can they stay soft and pretty enough to have sex appeal?  Referring to a previous post entitled 12 EASY STEPS TO GET YOUR FEET I SHAPE FOR WEARING BAREFOOT SANDALS, the ONLY way to have beautiful, soft and silky feet is to give them loving care.  Like having a pedicure.  If you’ve never treated yourself to one, make an appointment….today!  Not only will you walk out of the salon with pretty toe’s, you will have had a VERY relaxing experience.

The first time I put on a pair of barefoot sandals, I looked at my feet in a whole different way.   There was just something that the sandals did that changed the look of my feet.   I’ve always been someone who took care of my feet for as long as I can remember.   I’ve always worn polish on my toes because it made me feel – and look – like a girl.  So when I slipped into that first pair of bottomless foot jewelry, I instantly felt sexy.  Having my feet adorned with crystals made me want to grab a teddy out of the closet!

There are millions of people who feel that a woman with a sexy foot is an incredible turn-on.  Add a pair of sparkly barefoot sandals to that woman and you’ll wonder why you’ve never bought a pair for your wife or girlfriend.  With a wide variety of colors and designs, Jewels by Jan will give you many choices.   Just visit our website and choose the pair that appeals to your taste or her’s –   it could add a little excitement to your day (or night).

How much do you really know about your feet? Did you know that as an adult, you take 8,000 –10,000 steps a day and with each step, the foot strikes the ground with up to three times our body weight? That’s a LOT for our bare feet to put up with. That’s reason enough to pamper our feet and if you’ve never treated yourself to a relaxing pedicure, you’re in for a treat.

Here are 12 easy steps to getting fabulous feet in no time.

1.   Soak your feet in warm water for about ten minutes.

2.   Pat feet dry. Don’t forget between the toes.

3.   Clip toenails straight across. Or, if you would rather, use an emery board (but wait until toenails are completely dry).

4.   Using pumice stone, remove any rough areas from your heels.

5.   Massage cuticle area with a little oil or moisturizer.

6.   Gently push back cuticles.

7.   Apply foot lotion and massage into each foot.

8.   Remove any excess lotion.

9.   If you wish to apply polish follow the procedure below.

10.   Put a small amount of polish on your brush; paint one stroke down the center of your nail. Your brush should hold just enough color to accomplish this. Stroke the sides of the nail and you are done.

11.   Wait until polish is set (dry to the touch) and then apply the top coat. Don’t skip this step as it not only adds life to your pedicure, it will protect your nails as well.

12.   Sanitize all of your equipment with alcohol and when they are dry, store them away until the next manicure or pedicure.

Now you are ready to show off your sexy feet.

As a bonus, here are some other helpful tips:

Nail polish can be stored in the fridge.

If your nail polish is too thick, try thinning with a polish thinner. This is not a polish remover.

Now you’re ready to slip into a pair of Jewels by Jan Beaded Barefoot Sandals and walk barefoot in the sand!

Here are some additional suggestions to get your pretty feet ready to show off in your barefoot sandals (a.k.a. beach sandals, summer sandals, beach shoes, etc.)

Walk barefoot in sand whenever you get the chance – but watch out for glass!

Walk barefoot in shallow water on rounded pebbles – or, more practically, bathe your feet in very cold, iced water – then give them a good rub. The cold and stimulation will improve circulation. You’ll get the same effect by first walking barefoot outside on frosty grass, or the sort of smooth pebbles some people have in a driveway.

Let your favorite nail salon treat your feet to a luxurious pedicure (complete with a satisfying foot and leg massage with lotion).

Remember – going barefoot is beneficial to the musculoskeletal structure of your feet and ankles so put on a pair of barefoot sandals and get ready for compliments!
