Your teens are babysitting for the neighbors on Saturday. Your parents have volunteered to watch the kids while you run errands on Sunday afternoon. Your tweens are glued to Glee on Tuesday evenings. It’s your time. Take it. Looking for ways to spend it?
Each week, Patch throws out one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier!
Your sandals are stuffed into the dark, cobwebby recesses of the closet, and your toes haven't seen the light of day since September. No one's holding the fact that you haven't gotten a pedicure in six months against you - but our hands tell a different story.
In "Gone With the Wind," Ellen O'Hara told her daughters: "You can always tell a lady by her hands." Maybe she had a point. Old Man Winter can wreck havoc on our delicate skin and nails. That's why manicures, usually ranging in price from $12 to $17, are a quick and easy way to relax and rejuvenate our hands.
