I love to get a pedicure but I often don’t spend the time or money to do it. I added it to the list as one of my indulgences, and left it to the end so that I would actually have lovely toes for my birthday. I might as well face forty as pretty as I can be.

There’s a new nail bar in my town, close to my pet supply store. In preparation I went in a few weeks ago for a price list and it was empty! There were two women clearly waiting for customers and I felt kinda bad just asking about prices and then leaving.

So naturally, when I showed up for my pedicure at 5:15 pm on a Thursday night, it was packed with customers and estheticians. I actually had to leave and go back later.

I chose a lovely blue colour, almost a teal, for my toes. It’s been a favourite colour for awhile, and I’ve purchased a watch and a purse (handbag for you Brits) in a similar colour. It’s also close to the colour of my bathroom.

The pedicure was lovely. She cut my nails short enough, which is surprising. They always leave them too long and it drives me crazy to have long toenails. The massage was very enjoyable – not too soft and not to strong. And as usual, the very best part was the massage chair. I would love to have that chair instead of a Laz-Z-boy in front of my TV.

Hopefully this new shop is successful, so I can go back again sometime.

Check out this lovely blue on my wonky toes!
