So summer is here, well maybe not fully and today is the first day of spring but the weather is nice and warm and it's time for us to put our best foot forward! Ok, I am guilty of corny toes and chapped heels! I am not the babe to sit in the nail salon for hours to get a pedicure. I am trying sha, in fact the last pedicure I got was in November and it was mandated by our attire for Remi’s wedding that your toes be on point!
It’s soooo bad my dawg D1 got me a gift card to a spa for my birthday…that shit is still in my wallet …unused!

Since then, I have applied the same nail polish over the chipped one and have not bothered with scrapping the dead skin off my heel. Corns have taken permanent residence on three of my toes but I blame that on the 4 inch heels I wear on a daily basis. See, I am that girl who will buy a pair of hot kicks even if it’s a size too small and will keep my shoe on while driving and while in public, in fact it’s a pet peeve of mine to see folks trade their beautiful kicks for some flip flops…maybe you shouldn’t have worn them suckers in the first place, I think its tacky (waiting for my peeps to come bite my head off).



So to me and all my sisters with jacked up feet, I beg do not leef your hoof hanging this summer, go to the salon and get your shit done, keep it polished and moisturized!

And if your shoes don’t fit….don‘t wear it!

So please, repeat after me

As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing 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 and tops of my feet will not pudge 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.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

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 are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that 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 local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 or 20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.
