Ok, ladies, no more excuses. Time to get your tootsies ready for summer time. Since we're all being economical these days, many of us choose to give ourselves pedicures at home. Our suggestion is to turn it into a ritual for yourself. Invest in a kit (clipper, cuticle pusher, et al) and some fun colors (apparently yellow is the color for summer '09...?)

Applying your latest color is not the only fun part of pampering your feet. A good pedicure starts with a soak and then you should follow it up with a soothing, moisturizing cream. Belli's Foot Relief Cream is a great choice for any pedicure, it features peppermint, tea tree oil and shea butter and leaves skin feeling cool and refreshed. It actually cools your feet on these 80 degree days (and stops those proverbial dogs from barking.)

As we all know, for pregnant women, bellies are not the only things that grow and swell during pregnancy. Swollen feet and sore legs are common side effects for moms-to-be. Belli’s Foot Relief Cream soothes and refreshes tired legs and feet while eliminating discomfort, making up for a long day out and about in the hot summer sun.
