I got my first pedicure on a vacation a number of years ago. The hotel had a nice spa. I got manicure and pedicure and a facial, as well as two massages and a mineral bath. The manicure was mediocre, but the pedicure (different esthetetician) was great. The massages were great, too, but that wasn't a new thing for me.
The next time I got a pedicure was fine. It was a last minute impulse before a trip where I'd be wearing open toe shoes the whole time (not Florida, but also someplace warm). It was at a cheap joint, and was ok. But a few months later, I got another one at another cheap place in another location, and it wasn't so good--they were a bit rough on my tootsies there.
The thing about pedicures is that the polish can last so much longer than with a manicure. Manicures are almost wasted money on me becuase I usually ruin them before I even get home from the salon! And the chipping starts within a day or two. But pedicures are more lasting. Hmmm...now that spring is coming and I'll have to make the transition from my boot-shoes to more open ones, maybe I will go get a pedicure soon.
I do need to get a massage. I would like to be able to get a regular massage at least a couple of times a month. Years ago, I did this when I lived in another city. It was great--after a while, some of my very stiff spots got worked through nicely. The trick is finding a good massage therapist and working out the money to afford it.
