It is that time again Can we all take the pledge, please???
Hey Ladies,
It's that time again ............... Thank goodness! Just a friendly
reminder, it's that time of the year again.
Please raise your big toes and repeat after me:
As a member of the Faux Paul Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides andtops of my feet will not purge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and
chip-free.

I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow - or grate them with that cheese grater looking thing.
I will shave the hairs off my big toe-better yet, I will get them layered so they never ever come back!

I won't wear pantyhose even if my delusional girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. NO NO NO.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr.
Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes look like they've been dragged behind her car on the way to work and no sandal in the world is going to make her feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops, that I will ensure they actually flip
and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my neighborhood nail salon at least twice a month and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 and worth EVERY penny). I say spend another $15.00 and get an even better one.

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear...nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.
For all our sakes, please don't keep this to yourself pass it on to other Sisters. May God Bless your Soles as well as your Soul

Its so much easier to take care of your feet all year long than to try to get them together in the spring. I learned that lesson a few years ago so now I get monthly pedicures in the winter anyway!

It is time for the annual reminder. Spring Break is right around the corner and the beaches are calling!

It's the beginning of the season.

And ladies if you are in the deep south those pedicures are needed at least 10 out of 12 months of the year.

Can I just talk about my new flip-flops here? They are nike flip flops with MEMORY FOAM on the feet. So great. That is all.

I commute and change my shoes when I get to work, so these have been great for the mile or so I walk to/from the train. They are comfortable, but also provide a good measure of support. I am all about investing in a decent pair of flippies instead of getting by with the $1.99 Old Navy pieces of rubber.
