I challenge you to find me a girl who doesn't love to be pampered. I mean, is there anything better than hitting the salon with your best girls for a relaxing pedi in a vibrating chair? I think not.
But I also think there is something to be said for the calm and quiet that comes from taking some time to give your feet a little love at home. Just you, your toes and a bottle of your best polish.
A salon pedicure is a fab treat, but a treat it should be. To save some dollars while keeping your toes in check between outings to the salon, give yourself an at-home DIY pretty pedi with these five steps:
Doing it yourself may require more effort, but just think what you can do with that extra $30 to $50 dollars you would have spent at the salon.
May I interested you in a new dress? A pair of wedges for summer? Dinner & drinks? The list goes on.
So whether you plan on hitting the town this weekend or being a couch potato (my fave), make sure your toes don't look funky and give yourself a DIY pedi Bargain Blonde style. TGIF bargainistas.
Cute post! I always think it's too much work to do my own nails and toes but this makes it sound simple! Will definitely be giving it a try this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I hate doing my own toes. Mani I can handle, but I'm too lazy for pedis. Thanks for breaking it down tho, you make it sound manageable ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I may need to take part in this at home pedi this weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this post... I've never heard of soaking your feet with milk before, I will definitely be trying this!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post!! A DIY pedi sounds easy, but to me it's harder to say than do. I've been looking for a how-to lately! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE those sandels!! :-)
DeleteAwesome! Now I know what I'll be doing tonight! I think I have some Pretty Little Liars to catch up on, so I'll pedi myself up while oohing and aahing over Aria's hair (and boyfriend!)
ReplyDeleteI just got a pedicure but I wanna do this now!! Love it...thanks for the inspiration pretty girl :)
ReplyDeleteI love DIY manis & pedis so fun and def does save a lot of $$!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove you, love this post and that dress is wayyyyy too cute! Think a momma of 3 can pull it off? ;)
ReplyDeleteFor me Sunday is pampering day and when I usually paint my nails except I don't usually go through all of these steps! Must try one day!

leave it up to you to make me actually want to do a diy pedi :)
ReplyDeleteEver since I broke my toe (sad face here) i've had to give myself pedi's. I've gotten so used to it! I really love all the money I am saving too!! It is a bit tough at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes effortless.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong...I still will treat myself now and then to spa pedi at a salon. Nothing beats the massages!!! And the chairs! LOL!
Happy Friday!
You have just inspired me to do this tonight while I watch some Lifetime movies and sip on a glass of red:) Thanks girl!!
ReplyDeleteI may have to do this this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh girl you so fancy. I need to DIY pedi asap. Maybe this weekend when I'M being a huge coach potato (also my fav). I never had the idea of soaking them....gosh, what would I do without your brains?!
ReplyDeleteLove at home pedis! This is a step up from mine though! I'll have to improve that this weekend while I'm doing things around the home front! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much always do my nails at home. It's definitely fun to go to the salon (especially salons that provide wine), but I also love doing my nails on my own couch while watching tv. The only thing I miss is that awesome razor they use at the salon to get the callouses off. I have one here, but I always manage to make my feet bleed. I'm disgusting, I know.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips girl! I love getting pedi's but hate paying the price. I am going to try out your tips. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwe, I love this post! As much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting a pedicure {favorite thing EVER!} i also love giving myself one. There is something about it that seems soothing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

one of my favorite things to do is sit around and do my toe/fingernails. pop in a good movie, have some snacks (maybe a margarita), and take my time doing my nails. i actually planned on doing that as soon as i got off work.
ReplyDeleteyou just got me even more crunk.
have a fabulous weekend. :)
Why are you so amazingly brillant?! How fun would it be to do this at home with a few of your girlfriend! yaaaa! Great post :)
ReplyDeletecheap + fabulous = bargain blonde greatness! will be trying, :)
ReplyDeletelook at you. when i'm gone you get such good posts done.
ReplyDeleteI *NEED* those wedges in my life this Spring/Summer!! Bless Target's sweet little heart. I could kiss them on the mouth right now! ;)

Love this. I need to be better about doing my own pedis, and why not when you have all these tips! I just need to get me one of those feet soakers!
ReplyDeleteTruth! One of the top reasons I started painting my own nails was so I could buy other things.
