I am ...Good Afternoon Carol, This made me think.... I am terrible as I do not go for mani or pedicures. I clip my nails then file them to keep them short. I don't push back my cuticles anymore. It isn't that I don't care about myself, because I do, but I love to garden and who wants to garden, when they have beautifully painted nails. Now having said that, what is the excuse for not having a pedicure.... mmm... I can't think of one. Although in my defence, I do have handcream stationed at every sink in the house, which I sometimes use. Do you know my mother, who is 83 years, used the handcream more than I did, when she visited. OK, I need to rethink this, maybe I should look after my cuticles.... I will try, I promise!<br />Best Wishes to you,<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-36230971816486500042013-09-18T09:16:20.323-04:002013-09-18T09:16:20.323-04:00I do take care of the necessary things, but am lax...I do take care of the necessary things, but am lax on those things that are "just nice things".

I have the time, it's just I find myself doing other things. <br /><br />I've turned over a new leaf in the past few months. i have a mani-pedi in the nail salon. I only need the pedi once a month so I time it with my hair color. i get a mani in between. <br /><br />I feel so wonderful - my roots are done. my nails are done. (A facial is another story, but first things first.)<br /><br />Be well.BJ PUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675694191317911766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-58747734243928352372013-09-17T23:43:59.348-04:002013-09-17T23:43:59.348-04:00Yes lets do take better care of ourselves.
