Regimen

Today's camp breakfast starts with many of the gals showing their shoe tans. This happens when you wear flip flops out in the sunshine all day and your foot gets outlines by the sun in the places the flip doesn't flop. This leads to the discussion of nail polish colors, pedicures and whether or not you shave your toes. Most do pedicures only when the budget allows; they change toe nail color weekly, sometimes sooner, and shave their toe hair. Shaving the hair off ones toes is one of the many beauty rituals that does not get much conversation, and rightly so. There are others but again, sooo not radio worthy. If anything, remember that Photoshop and airbrushing has put the pressure on women to look better than ever. Magazine covers show the perfect model of something with the help of a team of style specialists. Finding the time to take care of herself and the extra funds to handle the necessities of being a woman are really what deserve the focus, not the fine art of applying steel or hot wax to skin and ripping it off.
