Summertime!

Summertime! If you haven't started wearing shorts and flip-flops already, here are a few tips to get you ready for summer!

For dry, cracked feet:
Wal-Mart has what is called a callous remover. It looks like a miniature cheese grater, a bit scary, but it is incredible! I love this because it lasts longer than a pumice stone. I typically just use the black side, but if your feet are really bad, then the silver side will help get your feet back to beautiful!
You can also use a sugar and olive oil scrub. Get a teaspoon or tablespoon of olive oil, and mix with about 1/4 cup of sugar, scrub on your feet, then rinse your feet off with soap and water.
You can also do some overnight pampering by "slapping" lotion onto your feet. What I mean by "slapping" is not actually rubbing the lotion in. Just slap a bunch of lotion on your feet, I do a very thick layer of lotion, then pull some socks on and go to sleep!

Exfoliating your legs and arms:
Use the same olive oil and sugar scrub, add some lavender oil or lemon juice if you want! Scrub this all over your body in the shower, and then wash as usual. Then use some firming lotion all over (Mary Kay has some amazing firming lotion that I am in love with! Check it out here.)

Hands and nails:
You can exfoliate your hands using the same sugar scrub. For nails you can use a nail buffing block (just a couple dollars at Wal-Mart) to smooth your nails out, then paint them if you wish!

There you have it! Just a few tips to get you ready for summer! Happy Summer!
