Have we a "getting ready for the summer" thread?

Clearly the promise of sun is going to my head but I've just ordered a factor 50spf (the Body Shop daily defence) and I've slapped some moisturiser on my legs. I've got some foot cream but I should probably look at what I should actually be doing to stop them from looking like cloven hooves when I get them out.
Is anyone else prepping for sunnier times? Any suggestions of a basic pedicure process?

Holy the Korean Italy cloths are like a little pouch thingy ( I bought the green and the pink ones , they last for ages too) .
You soak in plain water as hot as you can (that's the worst but for me Menopausal bodies do not like hot baths and without bubbles they are boring) I tried some Himalyan salts which were nice in the water . I try and do 30 minutes.

I did my legs, arms, bum and got DH to do my back. The amount of skin that rolls off

I bought some Nad's Sugaring Hair remover so I'll sort out my armpits tomorrow .

My goodies arrived yesterday so after doing some clothes shopping I had a bath, used the Italy cloth and smeared lush sleepy cream on. Used the chiropedy sponge and o'keefes healthy feet. I'm going to try to get my brows threaded and dyed tomorrow.

Ooh love this thread!

For me it's carrying on with the fast 800 (lost 1 stone already and only half a stone to go!), definitely abit of foot care , need to start oiling my hair before a bath like I used to for silky soft hair.

Where are you all buying your Italian scrub cloths from? Link anyone please Grin

Cut and colour done today. Highlights booked for 6 weeks' time. I'm losing weight so last year's summer clothes fit me better this year! HaloStar

Actively upping the water and oily fish intake in advance of holidays in a few weeks.

New glasses and sunglasses ordered today. I recently went on a bit of a shopping trip and some of the pieces are definitely transitional which is new for me.

Just used my Newton chiropodist sponge for the first time, impressive although I need to get used to it, a nasty ancient corn on one of my toes looks a great deal better now.
