What's up with that?

I am feeling a bit frustrated today! My daughter's laptop from Dell has a crack in the screen -without any provocation. She didn't drop it or sit on it or step on it or anything else. It just cracked! She needs a laptop for college in a couple of months. I called Dell but they refuse to help because I didn't take out their "Complete Care" Warranty. I just bought this darn thing in December and I thought anything like this would be covered under their "limited" one year warranty. But, the good news is Dell told me they can fix it for only $368.00! What's up with that? Yea, I know, I won't buy from Dell anymore and based on their customer service I wouldn't recommend them to anyone! I swear I was on the phone for at least an hour and was transferred to multiple countries and multiple departments! That is truly why I stick with small companies even when they cost more. They stand by their products and their customer service!

Having said that, I think I will shop my favorite small business sites at www.shabbylaneshops.com and www.makeminepink.com! That will cheer me up!

I hope your day is better. My is about to improve because it is sunny and warm outside and that's where I am headed.

Thanks for listening to my rant!

A few of my favorite things!

Today is a good day! The sun is shinning and it promises to be warm today... in the 70's! With Spring here and Summer close behind, I get to thinking about wearing all of my cute sandals. I adore shoes, particularly the ones you can wear without socks! But, first things first. How do my feet look? Ahhhh, not so bad after this long winter! I went and had my first pedicure of the season! I think everyone should enjoy a pedicure every now and then. There's not much better! However, there is some foot care that must be done at home and I thought I would share a few of my favorite things to get those sandal ready feet!




~The Ped Egg! Okay, I am truly not much into the "As Seen on TV" but I discovered the Ped Egg last year and it is absolutely amazing! It does everything it says and more! It smooths all of the rough edges and callouses on the feet! I adore this egg! Clink on the link above it you want to visit the official site. If you want to save on the shipping and handling charges they do now sell it in some stores. I've seen it in Target recently and I purchased mine in Bed, Bath, & Beyond last Summer! Trust me, this is one product that is worth the ten bucks!

~I love this top coat. It dries nail color almost instantly and provides a nice shine! You really have to let it set for a good 30 minutes but then you're good to go!

~The color of the season - FUCHSIA! I love, love, love, it! In fact, I just put this color on my toenails and it looks awesome! What a fun color!

~Okay, I know it's a shameless plug! But, I truly love Sugar Scrub. It not only exfoliates but it also softens. I love to do this as a sort of mask. While I bath I put this all over my legs and feet and put my legs up while I enjoy a good novel for a few minutes! It is fabulous and my legs and feet are so soft! Plus, it is super pampering and we all need a little more of that!

Here's a quick recipe to soak your tired, overworked feet in. Simply purchase some Epsom Salts which are inexpensive and found at any drug store. Fill up your tub with some very warm water, pour desired amounts of Epsom salts in and soak your feet for a few minutes. For an added bonus add a few drops of Peppermint Essential Oil which will help your feet feel rejuvenated! It you like, dry feet and use a pumice stone (or the Ped Egg!) to remove dead, dry skin then wash and rinse. Leave your feet a little damp and apply your favorite cream and put on some white cotton socks for a while. Your feet will thank you and they will look fabulous in your favorite sandals!

As always, it you have foot issues or are a Diabetic, please consult your M.D. before messing with your feet!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Jacalyn
