if you aren't into waiting 5 days for your d.i.y. foot exfoliator to shed those dead layers of skin off your gnarly tootsies, check out the spaweek offerings in a city near you to let someone else do the dirty work.
from october 12th through the 18th, spas, salons & other wellness centers are promoting their signature services at 50 bucks a pop - including massages, facials & mani/pedis. perhaps this week will be the rainy day you've been waiting to delve into your piggybank for... participating cities include: arizona california colorado connecticut dc florida georgia illinois maryland massachussetts michigan minnesota nevada new jersey new york north carolina pennsylvania tennessee texas virginia washington canada (not a state, but still worthy of a deal!)
let us know if you take the plunge (into your wallet) for a treatment!
as yogis, between sandals & going barefoot, we put our tootsies through a lot of exposure that much of the rest of the population may not understand. as a result we tend to get dried out &/or callused skin (read: ugly, rough feet).
since i am not huge of pedicures, mainly because of the hidden dangers of the ingredients in many of the prettiest paint shades, my interest was sparked when i came across baby foot. although they are only big in japan right now (seriously, there is only one small japanese grocery store in the states that carries them), i was able to score a pair of these treatment booties on ebay!
here's my vlog journey to give you some visuals:
yogadeal: for a fraction of the price of some spendy exfoliating pedi treatments out there, i got baby soft feet for $22 (free shipping) with minimal effort on my end, safely & naturally in my own home! word to the wise, just make sure you have a good book to read or a movie to watch since it's best to stay still during the 2 hour marination to avoid the slip-n-slide feeling like i did when i tried moving around too much.
as a yogi of about 6 years, i am constantly striving toward yogic bliss, but at the same time looking how to explore new options without having to break the bank doing it. i realize each time i talk to a friend, co-worker or random stranger i have suggestions about yoga, healthy living, etc. so i thought it was only natural to start posting my findings so i can share with more people!
i am also an insured and registered yoga teacher (ryt 200) in core strength vinyasa yoga & have completed a 72-hour course in musculo-skeletal anatomy & kinesiology (for yoga teachers). i have experience teaching adults, as well as elementary school and middle school students.
