how to AVOID crazy-bitch days - The series.

Hey guys! If you have read my previous posts, i was talking about how important it is to take care of yourself. Today (finally) I will be writing about simple ways to pamper yourself every single day! This post is about foot care. Feet are the most neglected part of our bodies. Everybody is so obsessed with their face that they forget about feet! That is a HUGE no-no. You must take care of every lil bit of you. After all, you only have one body!! Treat it like your life depends on it (Duh! It actually does.)
Anyway, Let's start!
Things you need:

1.A tub/bucket
2. A lil salt, say half a handful
3. Any skin scrub
4. A toothbrush
5. Foot cream/moisturizer
6. socks/ 2 plastic bags

STEP 1: Fill your bucket with hot water and add some salt to it. Salt is a wonderful exfoliant. It softens skin by removing dead cells. It can soothe aches and remove odors.

                                                             
                                                           
 After your done adding salt to the hot water, soak your feet in the tub for a while. Ahhh, the bliss!!

STEP 2: Take a scrub of your choice. I use the apricot scrub from st.Ives. I bought it to use on my face but it made me break out, so I use it on my feet instead!! You will also need a toothbrush. Now, now DON'T use the same brush that you use to brush your teeth everyday. That is just GROSS.Get a new one or use one of your old toothbrushes. I use one with soft bristles.

                   
STEP 3: Apply some scrub all over your feet and massage in circular motions with the toothbrush. Get your feet nice and clean. You can add some sugar to your scrub to make it stronger.
                   
                                                     

Also, if you have tanned feet put some curd on your feet , leave it on for ten minutes and rinse off. My feet is tanned like crazy but I am lazy  right now. The curd can wait :P :D      

STEP 4:  After your done scrubbing, put your feet back in the tub/bucket and rinse.            

                 
STEP 5: Towel dry your feet and rub in lots of moisturizer/ foot cream. I use Himalaya's foot cream. It an ok product. Planning to buy a different brand once this gets over.        

                                                                               
STEP 6: Take your favorite pair of socks and shove it in a microwave oven!! Heat them for about 20-30 seconds or more, depending on how hot you want them to be. Then, wear them! The heat from the socks open up your pores and help in better absorption of moisturizer.

socks on toast! Sorry about the crappy pic!! :D
                             
If the thought of socks in an oven sounds eeky to you, you can tie one plastic bag on each feet! Plastic helps retain heat. Sleeping with plastic on can be a bit of trouble though cos of all the rustling. Choose what suits you best!

 
STEP 7: The next morning, take off your socks and wake up to happy feet!! =D

 Do this everyday and in week's time (or less than that) you will notice a difference. And you WILL feel good every time you look at them =)   Have fun pampering yourself!! xoxo <3

Crazy-bitch days.

Now, I'm going to blog about a topic very close to my heart. I'm sure ALL you girls have experienced it atleast once(or everyday!). I like to call it the "crazy-bitch days". These are days when you feel insane, angry, sad, mean,sadistic blah blah blah for no particular reason! It's hard to understand why this happens( hormones, maybe?) but i think the most common reason is feeling "unloved". I can't explain it. It's not logical. it's just a feeling! It makes a perfectly happy ,sane person act crazy(and not in a good way!)
According to my theory, there are two types of bitch days-

1.Mean and angry days.
2.Sad and overwhelmed days.

I drew a little cartoon to demonstrate!   

The picture below shows a happy, sane person who is content with the world! It's one of those rare days.         

On other days!

Now,the metamorphosis :P

 This is the first type of "crazy-bitch" days.It transforms a normal person to a cranky,mean person who snaps at everybody! She is bitter and hates the world.She might even be contemplating REVENGE! Oh no,you'd better not mess with her or you'll have things flying your way and landing right on your face,nice and good. Or you might just get one TIGHT slap,who knows?! This one sure is a bundle of surprises.














The second type- Sad and overwhelming days! These are days when she's all sad and alone( for no reason) and overwhelmed with the world. She thinks everybody is out there to get her and she wallows in self pity.Tch- Tch.She might just cry a bucketful of tears or have a sudden emotional outburst even if you say "what's up?" so watch out!

















From my observation, crazy-bitch days happen when you aren't pampered enough. I am strongly opinionated when it comes to such things and i think that all girls should be taken care of and pampered like princesses,if you will! And by that, i don't mean spoiling them silly and praising them without reason and letting them boss around and treat people like shit.Just good old love will do the trick! And if nobody pampers you, pamper yourself!! EVERY SINGLE DAY! How, you ask? Ah, I'll put that up later!You can do it on a shoestring budget too (ok, it's not exactly shoestring but it's still quite thrifty! :P) Ta ta.Catch you later! <3
