Yesterday Dinah ( my oldest daughter) and I had pedicure in the nearby nail salon-Diva Nails located at Mt Diablo Blvd. As I entered the nail salon I saw about 3 dozens of fresh lemons of various sizes in the counter along the side of 2 microwave ovens. I then realized the salon uses fresh slice of lemon instead of baking soda powder used by other nail salons for the water to soak your feet before the actual pedicure. Before my move here at THD, I have my pedicure done in Fair Oaks. Baking Soda I believe was used instead of fresh lemon slices. The used of fresh lemons demonstrate class to me.
Due to their acidity, citrus fruits are effective skin cleansers. Their juices have antiseptic and antibacterial properties, meaning they destroy germs, inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the skin and reduce the possibility of infection
Lemon juice works to stimulate the toxin elimination process. This natural solution harnesses the antibacterial power of a lemon to relieve the pain and tenderness associated with aching feet. Pain relief aside, a lemon juice foot soak will also work as an exfoliator.
It encourages warmth distribution and harmony. A lemon footbath can be used daily as preventative healthcare or in some acute illnesses such a headache or over stimulation. It helps a person to ground and re-centre by harmonizing warmth distribution and breathing. Instead of lemon, one can used apple cider vinegar for soaking your feet.
Not many people know that soaking feet in apple cider vinegar has many benefits. But my late son David E uses it. It can help control infections, neutralize bad odors, soften the skin, hydrate feet, and calm itching. Apple cider vinegar is rich in acids and antifungal ingredients that can help regulate the pH balance of our skin.
So If you are looking for a place for first class pedicure close by THD-The Diva Nails is the place for You! They are open on Saturday and Sunday, but close on Monday and Tuesday. Be sure to make an appointment as the place is very busy on weekends. There are parking places nearby and is a walking distance from THD if you do not drive. If you used the Fairmount Building Exit Gate you are just across the Parking Lot of the outside Mall where the Diva Nails is located.
Here are my favorite quotes on Pedicures.
- “Pedicures are the cure for everything. ...
- “A great pedicure can be as soothing to the soul as… well, to the sole!”
- “Pedicures; the ultimate stress reliever.”
- “Your feet never take a day off, so take care of them.”
- “You know it's time for a pedicure when you can exfoliate one foot with the other.”
