I start by bathing my feet in warm soapy water or relax in a bubble bath at night.once I am happy with my foot soak I then smooth any hard rough skin with the Foldaway Foot File and Callus Remover. I dry my feet and I then apply a rich amount of the Extra Rich Foot Treatment Cream by Martha Hill all over my feet and ankles then I put on my Moisturising Socks and wear overnight. I have been doing this twice a week as I am diabetic and have rough skin on my heels and balls of the feet and being diabetic you have to be very careful and look after your feet properly so not to cause any cuts infections or other foot conditions.

Rinse the coarse metal side under hot water after use.
My Thoughts I have tried different foot files in the past but I do find this file very easy to use and clean. It does not rip the skin or cause any abrasions great to file away the dead skin and rough skin with the metal side then you buff it off using the smooth side.great to take with you travelling easy foldaway. over all a great product!

I apply this balm every day all over my feet and ankles I massage it well into my heels and under the arch of the foot up to the toes. making sure I pay attention to the rough areas and apply a fair amount on these areas. It dries in well and smells lovely! my feet feel fresh and smell fresh with tea tree fruity scent of plum you can smell more of the plum which I like.

Hey my lovely friends. How are you all? I do hope you all keeping well and safe and good. I recently had the idea to do a nail art suitable for either brides/bridesmaids wedding guests. This is my first attempt to do this kinda nail art so thought I would give it ago as I am not a professional nail technician or anything this is simply just an experiment for me I suppose you could wear this look for any special occasion really. So anyway I decided to do a simple swirl design with glitter and pearl beads!
The items used are listed below.
BC polish in Opal.
Laval polish in White.
Calvin Klein Glitter polish in Hallucinate.
NYC clear top coat polish.
Technic Nail art pen in White.
Various Pearl beads.
I used the BC polish as the base coat. I then used the CK Glitter polish across each tip I used 2 coats for this. I waited for it to dry fully then I used the Nail art pen to make the swirls pattern across each nail but the nail pen polish was gloopy and drying up so the swirls was a little bigger than I wanted.I applied clear top coat to the nails and placed the pearl beads all done!
I hope you liked my Wedding nail art! I like the Opal polish :) Don't forget to join in on this months Animal Charity Nail art if you haven't already click here for more info. More posts coming up soon! ♡Dawn♡

Hi My wonderful Friends. I decided to start a monthly Charity nail art post. what I mean by this is I am going to pick a charity for that month and do a theme nail art related to that charity. a bit like when we raise awareness for the likes of Breast Cancer awareness. I want to use my blog and nail art to raise awareness for the chosen charities. My first chosen Charity is for an Animal rescue centre which is local to me and there is also a centre in Wales. which is Freshfield's Animal Rescue Centre.
Here is some information about Freshfield's Animal Rescue Centres. Dedicated to Saving the Lives of Unwanted, Homeless and Abused Animals The charities main aims and objectives are to provide sanctuary and
relief to all animals who need it whilst providing a focus of learning,
education and example in man’s association with animals. Freshfields animal rescue is a non profit making charity caring for
abandoned, abused and unwanted animals. We act as a temporary refuge and
sanctuary for an endless cycle of animals in need of help. Our aim is for the misery to stop once they reach us, with each
animal receiving the food, medication, socialisation and the love it
needs. Our ultimate objective is to find the right new home & family for each of our charges as quickly as possible! If you are able to offer an animal a home please browse our site, there are many other ways you can help us to help themsee this link East Lodge Farm, Ince Blundell, Liverpool L29 3EA Which deals with all manner of animals from cats and dogs to the more unusual ferrets, chinchillas and other exotics. Bryn Melyn, Nasareth, Caernarfon Which is primarily a Horse and Pony sanctuary but is also home to numerous cats, kittens and other small creatures. We receive no regular funding and would be very grateful for any support you could offer. Please note: our policy is to not home dogs to families with children under 5 years old.
This is a charity close to my heart as I love all animals and I would adopt them all if I could. In 2011 shortly after my Cat Sassy died of cancer We decided to adopt 2 cats from the Centre. so we went along and after a difficult choice of which cats to pick as there is so many lovely kitties we finally found our 2 girls Mother and Daughter Bella and Sophie whom we have grown to love both of them very much.
Bella the Mum is the gray cat & Sophie the Daughter is the White fluffy cat.
The Centres work very hard to help Animals and raise money for the charity by the kindness of the general pubic to donate what they can. You can help by donatingHERE. For more information on how to help please click HERE. You can also sponsor any of the animals either for yourself or
as a gift. When you sponsor an animal your donations are used to help
all of the animals in our care. You can also kindly donate items on Freshfield's Animal Rescue Centre wish list page on Amazon Click HERE. YOUR TEXT to 70070 can make an INSTANT DIFFERENCE to the life of an
unwanted, abandoned or abused animal!' To donate to our Welsh rescue
just text WLSH11 followed by the amount or to donate to Liverpool text
LIVP11 followed by the amount. You can text donate any of the following -
£1, £2, £3, £4, £5, £10... PLEASE DON'T HESITATE, the animals need you
to make that instant difference TODAY!
There are many many Animals in both Centres that are desperate for loving caring forever homes. If you feel you can give an Animal a loving home or know someone who does please adopt a pet today by visiting the centre near you. Thank you. Finally here is my Nail art for this charity.I used Acrylic paints to create this nail art. I decided to paint some Animals that are looking for a loving home. The details and information is listed below...
Emily
Admitted: 01 Feb 2013
Status: Available on loan
Breed/Type: Gypsy Cob
Sex: Female
Age: 5
Colour: Piebald
Affectionately known as one of 'The Cardiff Horses' Emily was part of a
group that was rounded up in early 2013. All were illegally fly grazing,
the owners were given two weeks to claim their horses before rescue
centres could come forward, any not homed would sadly go to slaughter. To Adopt click Here
Skye
Admitted: 17 Dec 2013

Breed/Type:American Bulldog Cross
Sex:Female
Age:2 Years
Colour:White & Tan
Vaccinated:Yes
Neutered:Yes
Used to Kids:Older only
Used to CatsNo
Used to DogsYes - but not to live with
History of Biting No
This gorgeous girl is having no luck in life. She originally came to us
in the summer 2013 as the landlord did not allow pets, she has since
been to a couple of homes and always been returned through NO FAULT OF
HER OWN! Every time Skye thinks she has found a loving home and a new
mum and dad, something happens to take it away from her. Skye is a
happy, fun loving girl, she loves playing and lots of affection. Her
previous home told us that despite the stress she was under at
Freshfields (she gets very upset with kennel life), she is very calm and
well behaved in the house. Skye meets dogs well when she is out and
about on walks, she crawls across to them on her tummy to say hello, so
very cute and submissive! Skye has also met a cat, unfortunately for
her she was swiped across the face by the naughty kitty (!) but she
didn't retaliate so their is a possibility she could be ok with cats.
Skye needs someone home for most of the day as she is a young girl.
This beautiful, loving lady will make a wonderful friend. She just
needs a chance to find a family that will promise to commit to her, look
after her and love her forever! To Adopt click HERE
Tabitha
Admitted:28 Sep 2013
Status: Looking for a home
Breed/Type: Black and White Dutch
Sex: Female
Age: 6 - 12 months
Colour: Black and White
Vaccinated: Yes
Neutered:Yes
Used to Kids:N/K
Used to CatsN/K
Used to DogsN/K
Litter TrainedN/K
History of Biting No
Tabitha has come from a home where there were just too many rabbits and
is now looking for a new home and a new friend to share it with. She will need a hutch with a run attached. The run should measure at
least 5ft x 7ft and must be fully secure. It can either sit on
concrete/paving slabs or on grass but if it is sited in a grassy area,
mesh will need to be placed under the grass to prevent digging out. If you think Tabitha may be the ideal companion for your rabbit please
give us a call to discuss bonding. We do all the bunny bonding here at
freshfields and so you must be prepared to leave your rabbit for as long
as it takes for him to be happy wih his new friend, this generally
takes an average of 5 days although it can vary. Your rabbit must also
be neutered and be up to date with his vaccinations. To Adopt click HERE
Hattie
Admitted:01 Dec 2012

Breed/Type:DSH
Sex: Female
Age: 8 years
Colour:Black & white
Vaccinated:Yes
Neutered:Yes
Used to Kids:Yes
Used to Cats Yes
Used to Dogs Yes
Litter Trained Yes
Rehomed from us as a kitten. Suffered from continual bowel problems
throughout her life. Returned to us as owner's circumstances changed.
Had her large colon removed and with her new diet, a mix of Hills senior
and T/D dry she is defecating solid poos. Rehomed for one week, family
could not cope. A great and funny girl. She bunny hops around at quite a speed. She is
affectionate and loving to most of whom she encounters. Although in her
previous home she was at times dominating to the older cat who lived
with her. She is quite a playful feline, running up and down the cattery
with the youngsters if she gets the chance. We would love her to have a
garden to run around in, to feel the sun on her back and the grass on
her whiskers. She will need to stay on her strictly controlled diet, would therefore
benefit from being an only cat. Experienced cat family please. To Adopt please click HERE
