Get Your Feet Summer Ready! (Aka Thongs Season Calls For Non-Grotty Feet)

Fish Spa

ยฉ Rob Sheridan

Okay, I know I scared you with the pictures of gnarly skin last week so even though I’m still going to be talking about grotty skin today (instead, show you some random dude’s feet ๐Ÿ˜› ), I’ll spare your eyes and not show you my feet. If you think that bit of dry skin on my hands are bad, you really don’t want to even look at my feet. On a more positive note, the cracked heels are looking better now but still … I’ll keep those pictures to myself, thank you very much! ๐Ÿ˜›

Right, back to the topic at hand.

Holiday season in Australia is summer time and it’s usually quite warm (or stinking hot) so you’re more likely to wear thongs (also known as flip flops in Australia. Oh the confusion when I first moved here was epic) or sandals than something that would cover your entire feet. It’s heels on display, baby!

I have just about the driest and most grotesque-looking heels ever. Seriously, even rubbing my feet on Tim and he complains about how “scratchy” my feet is. Dude has the smoothest and softest heels I’ve ever seen; he rarely wears home slippers and never, ever apply any foot cream. Unfair much? ๐Ÿ˜›

Best of Bloggie Wednesdays 2013

Best of Bloggie Wednesdays 2013

Today’s the second to last Wednesday of 2013 and since next Wednesday is Christmas Day (7 more sleeps!), today’s Bloggie Wednesday post will be the last for 2013 because really, who wants to read about blogging on Christmas Day, right? ๐Ÿ˜›

Bloggie Wednesdays started off as sporadic mid-week posts on blogging a couple of years ago. The original idea was to start a new blog on blogging tips but I knew it was something I couldn’t sustain on an almost-daily basis so I thought I’d do maybe once a week or once every two weeks. Two years later, it became the most popular series on my blog.

I just wanted to say, thank you so much for your support on the series. I’ve received countless of emails from readers on how Bloggie Wednesdays have helped them grow their blog throughout year and I’m truly honoured that it has been helpful to you. Like I mentioned last year, I’m not a blogging expert. I’m just a blogger sharing what she knows.

As today’s the last Bloggie Wednesday of the year, I thought I’d do a summary of what I feel are the best bloggie posts for 2013. As I was going through most of them, this thought came across my mind: gee, I talk A LOT. ๐Ÿ˜› I’m so glad you folks listened and commented. These are the blog posts that had the most comments and interaction throughout the year.

Have fun reading them (if you haven’t already) and Bloggie Wednesdays will see you again in 2014! ๐Ÿ˜€

BB Creamology: Vichy, La Roche-Posay and L’Oreal

Welcome to the 10th episode of BB Creamlogy! We’re getting into the double digit installments here, people. The BB cream shizz is getting real. You’d think that I’d have run out of BB creams to review now given that 1) I’ve reviewed so many already and 2) CC, DD, double-alphabet creams are exploding the beauty scene … okay, you’re right, I have. This will be the last BB Creamology episode in 2013 because I’ve truly run out of BB creams to talk about. Gasp! I know! ๐Ÿ˜› Hopefully in 2014, I’d have acquired more then it will continue.

Till then, let’s end this year’s BB Creamology with three BB creams that come from French brands Vichy, La Roche-Posay and L’Oreal. Vive la France!

Nailing It – There Ain’t No Summertime Blues with Essie. Well, Mostly Not

Essie Bottle Service, Shake Your $$ Maker, DJ Play That Song, Saturday Disco Fever

I was wondering whether to call this a Nailing It or Not Nailing It because one of the nail polishes just didn’t work for me. Oh well, since it’s just 1 out of 4 … okay, nailing it! ๐Ÿ˜›

Just thought I’d show you 4 bright nail polishes from Essie today that are spot on for summer. I really like how the colours pop when the bottles are lined up like that. Can you imagine wearing all of these colours at once? On your clothes, I mean? Colour blocking FTW!
