Pretty Feet for Summer...

Hi beauties! Spring is here and Summer is around the corner. That means everyone is going to start rocking their favorite pair of flip flops and sandals, and feet are going to be exposed. The look is cute, but ONLY if your feet are too!


If you are one of the people who suffer from cracked heels or rough feet, I have a great trick you can try to bare those pretty feet:

What you'll need:
2 TBSP Baking Soda
Warm Water
Your Favorite Essential Oil (Lavender, Peppermint, Almond, etc).
Brown Sugar

Blend two tablespoons of baking soda in a basin of warm water and add a few drops of lavender oil. Soak your bare feet for about 15-30 minutes (the longer the better). After a nice long soak, scrub them away using three parts baking soda, one part water, and one part brown sugar. You can always buy a nice foot brush to scrub a little extra for you.

Follow with an application of a rich moisturizer and a warm towel foot wrap. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Trends for 2014 Spring Nail Polish...

Hello fellow beauties! My apologies for the hiatus! I wanted to get right on track with what's trending for Spring 2014, and that is nail polish. Who doesn't want bright, beautiful nails to show off? There are certain hot trends this Spring, and I wanted to share those with you so you can rock the look yourself:


1. Bold Fuchsia: This Spring's signature color is radiant orchid, so going with a bold fuchsia is a great way to wear a trendy accent color. A great pick would be Mischo in Marilyn...gorgeous! 
 


Mischio in Marilyn, $18



2. Melon: When you think of melon, think of the color of a cantaloupe....a pale orange. This color is very trendy this Spring, and pairs well with gold jewelry! Try and pick up Nar's Wild Dancer :)
NARS in Wild Dancer, $19

3. Shimmery Nude: This color almost looks like a rose gold, but try and stay with a nude without a tint of color. Pairing a nude with a shimmer, the look becomes super-glamorous. A great polish for this is Butter London's Goss...amazing!
 


Butter London in Goss, $15


4. Earthy tones: Earthy yellow, orange and red shades complement every skin tone and add a cool twist to the season's crisp white pieces. These are some of my favorites especially darker earthy colors. Try Estee Lauder's Lust for a gorgeous deep red :)



Estee Lauder in Lust, $21



5. Blue: You can't go wrong with a shade of blue, and the best part is it doesn't matter what hue it is, any blue is great! Like denim, they go with everything and are appropriate for day or night, work or play. One of my current favorites is Essie's Hide and Go Chic <3
