At-Home Spa?
My mom says pedicures are too expensive; but I really want to get one. Can you give me some tips on giving myself a pedicure?

–Pedi Please!
Why not grab a group of friends and have a pedi party?! You’ll need a few things to get started—nail polish remover, cotton balls, nail clippers, your favorite polish, toe separators, and a nail file. (Your mom may already have these around the house.) Remove any old polish first, and then clip and file your toenails straight across so they’re nice and even. Then soak your feet (try the bathtub) in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Then take turns giving foot massages with your favorite lotion. Next it’s polish time—using toe separators so your polish won’t smudge, of course. Make sure to give your nails plenty of time to dry before putting on shoes or dancing around the house!

Try It With Mom
In the summer my mom and I wanted to do the same thing! We called around town and the places were EXPENSIVE! We decided to head to the dollar store. We got lots of nail polish and we even bonded while doing it!good news!!!

yo, yo, yo! that is so, so, so cool! i think i am going todo that right away! thanks so much!!!Awesome!
That’s a really cool idea! I will probably try that now! Thanksgood idea!
i think its a good idea and you can do this at a sleepover!cool
thisthing is the coolest ever thank you DG!this is cool
and it helps!!!Cool!
I think it’s a really good idea! You can even do your fingers like that, instead of only soaking your feet in the bathtub.Polish Pageant!
I always do my nails… litteraly always! Even if you don’t have the nicest colours around, try the dollar store or even walmart, or Shoppers DrugMart. You can take the edge of a paper clip or something along that and make cool designs with it… then let it dry and put the top coat on.. trust me! I did that with my friend and it was pretty cool! ~thx~Wow
Wow that is so cool1 i noticed you spelled colors colours, any reason for that?yerp there is!
I’m originally francophone and after almost 7 years of speaking English I’m still getting used to the language!! ~thx~So Cool!
THat is so cool! Personally unless you are doing an english spelling test, you should spell colors how you do. I think that it is supers cool to have 2 different ways to spell somthing and it’ll still be right! THX you to!Canada
Canadians spell color colour. Im canadian so i would know.She might live in a different country!
That’s so cool!Cool
It looks cool and awsomeMy mom and I are very
My mom and I are very close.We do makeovers and spas but my mom is frugal so we make masks out of kitchen stuff like bananasevery few months my mom and I
every few months my mom and I do an at home spa. She gets out her hand and foot stuff and then we just relax.A great feeling
It feels so great. Did it almost every dayOMG!
Absolutely! Best idea ever! I once hosted a slumber party where there was a mini-spa for one of the activities. It was super fum and each of the girls got a free nail polish souveneirs. Plus they all had gun and it cost alot less than having my party at the spa.I love at home spas r awesome

Spa partys sound like soooo much fun….especially with your bffs! Why not listen to music, make snacks, style each others hair, do facials, manis, pedis and maybe have a sleepover!Spa
Yeah I’ve actually done that before. It’s really fun!!at home spa
that sounds funGreat idea!!!
I think this is a great idea!!! I do it all the time!!!! It’s four times the fun when you add facial masks, makeup , hair , e.t.c.!!!!!pedi party
I love home spa in fact im about to have one right now!A Real Home-Spa!
That sounds like a great idea! Having a pedi-party, and it would be even better to get a mani-pedi, facial, hair, and makeup too! But before all the spa fun, you could get cool new outfits to go with it all! It would be like a whole new look for everybody!spa party
last year My friend and I had a spa party for her birthday. It was really funny because instead of soaking our feet in water we soaked them in lemon juice and our feet smelled like lemon for a whole week!At Home Spa Party :)
Last year for my friend’s birthday we had a really fun spa party. She had her living room decorated all fancy and had relaxing music playing. We made neck pillows with just a few simple, everyday items, did facials, and mani-pedis. After, we did each others makeup and went out to eat. It was a tone of fun, and very relaxing!Who doesn't love AT HOME Peds
I personally love going to nail salons to get my nails but it sometimes is to expensive.So i enjoy it at my home with my mom, we do each others nails and just have fun doing it!Spa B-Day
I’m going to have a Spa B-Day Party!That sounds so fun!
Pedi Please, This is an amazing opprtunity to bod with your younger siblings and friends! If you don’t have any nail polish you like, invite a couple friends over and tell them to bring any polish they have! I did this with my friend and if you want to make it seem like you aren’t just wanting to paint you nails… do hair and make up! Get crazy!Spa day
My friends and I love to do that when we don’t have a pedicure it is so much fun!!!AT home spa: AWESOME!
I tryed it at home with my sister. Now we do it ever time we have off from school! LUV IT!Spa B-Day
I just had a Spa Birthday party, and it was sooooo fun! I Had a foot bath. It is kind of like the thing mentioned here, but it was like a little tub, that had warm water in it, and then you would press a button, and it would massage your feet. It was awesome!LOL
I’ll have on too! LOL!Me too!
I had that kind of party one year…soooo fun!!GREAT IDEA!!!
my mom would do everything 4 me even by me a horse!!! so i love great idea!Spa Day!
Having your own spa is super fun, relaxing, and cheap!!! My sister and I bought a whole tube of face mask for less than $5, asked my mom to buy us a cucumber at the store, and already had everything else at home (such as nail polish, lotion, etc.) We had a blast!Idea...
ask to go get a salon pedi for your bithday!! ive done it 4 times!!easy!
All you do is take a top coat a bottom coat and colors. EASY PEDI!pedicure
