Give Your Toes Some Much-Needed Love

What is a great escape? For some, it is a weekend away with the girls, for others it is an hour during the kids' nap times. It might not be the greatest adventure of your life, but it's your time—take it.

The forecast is calling for lots of rain this week. Are you feeling a little cooped up? I don't know about you, but we've been having had me tricked into thinking summer was right around the corner. I'm not going to let a few days of rain get me down though. If ignorance is bliss, then I'm just going to pretend like it never even happened. Are you all with me? 

This weekend's great escape involves a quick and easy pedicure over at . Just because our feet are covered with socks and boots doesn't mean we can't treat our toes to a little pampering. When you get there, tell them you want to sit in a spa chair. There is a slight extra charge, but it's worth it.

Next, add an additional 10-minute foot massage to your pedicure. Again, there is an additional charge, but this is your time—indulge yourself.

Here is the most important part: You have to paint your toes an unexpected color. Maybe it's hot pink (a favorite of Cindy McCain), coral red, or even bright blue. It's just nail polish and this is supposed to be fun—go for it!

One last thing: Make sure you pick up the trashiest gossip magazine there. Read it from front to back. If you are feeling really, really wild, pick up a small gelato from on the way home. Eat it in your car. Don't share it with anyone—not your kids, not your husband, not even the dog.
