Katie and I had a mani/pedi day yesterday.
A couple chairs down from me was a woman — I’d guess her to be 35-40 years old — getting a pedicure. The dude working on her was a brave, brave man. He had a hand towel below her foot that was propped up while he used a metal callus scraper.
Sorry… this is gross…
When I glanced back, the inside of the scraper was caked with a 1/2 inch of wet callused skin, and the towel was full of the stuff too. He gingerly picked the towel up by the corners and carried it to a back room — where all nasty calluses go to die, I guess. I heard him ask how long it had been since she’d had a pedicure and she said 2 weeks. Katie and I looked to see if her pants caught fire.
I’m guessing so many people take showers and never bathe to soak (soften calluses) or use a pumice stone. If your feet look like they belong to a troll, get that nasty crud off. UGH!! It may no longer be sandal weather around here, but in the off chance someone might see those toes, take some time for personal care this weekend.
I may be scarred for life!
Now you know: 59% of 18-25 year olds in the United States are overweight or obese.
