So I don't know if it's due to genetics or my running habits, but my feet are the worst. And as much as I love pedicures I don't have the time or money to get them done as often as my feet require, er, sanding down. Tune into this video to learn why I'm obsessed with the Amope pedi perfect extra coarse foot file. I'll use it year round (because my feet get even worse in the winter!) but it's perfect tool to prep you for spring/summer flip flop/sandal weather!
This morning Asha and I recorded an Edit Your Life Show episode on self-care and one of the points I raised was that while there are plenty of self-care options you can enjoy free or on the cheap, I believe that it’s worth investing in certain things -- particularly when professionals clearly can do a better job! For me, facials definitely fall in that bucket. Read on for my thoughts on Sway Aveda Spa, and also for info on how to get a complimentary Sway manicure!
I've been wrestling with a foot injury for a couple of months and have been avoiding professional consultation (because I'm pretty certain they'll just tell me to saw my bunions off) in favor of massage therapy and as much yoga as possible. My friend Michael recommended this Yoga Studio app to me a few weeks ago and I have used it almost every day since downloading it! Here's why I love it and recommend you give it a try. Enjoy, and namaste!
So you guys, seriously, typically I'm rather clueless when it comes to styling hair. I'm too lazy and inept to blow dry it properly and then sometimes it takes me 4 months to get around to a haircut! But I was inspired by what Maritza Buelvas and Maricruz Polito did to my head recently and decided to play around with this John Frieda Volume Curls 1.5 inch Curling Iron. And the good news is that I figured out a way to make shaggy hair look awesome super quick.
On Wednesday I attended a fun event hosted by New Balance at MyStryde in the North End. I was interested in popping in both because I'm a runner (MyStryde is a brand new indoor running studio) and because I had never set foot on a treadmill before -- no joke! I think this has been due in part because I like running outside, and also because I've held a vision of Bill Murray a la Lost In Translation in my mind. I was convinced I'd be treadmill roadkill!
OK, so remember yesterday when I announced my new lifestyle solutions video series and confessed to my fear of looking ugly? Well, hey now, I figured it would be good to kick off the first official video by embracing self acceptance and owning my sweaty, shivering, no-makeup self! (Also, hey, I ran 5 miles, so BOOM)!
