June's Nail Color: Flip Flop Fantastic

Summertime and the living is easy, right? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but it's hard to forget the free, easy-breezy feelings of childhood when school let out and going barefoot was common.

As an adult woman you can tap into that summer fun mindset with some fun purple “Flip Flop Fantastic” nail polish for your toes. Yes, purple! You’ve just don’t know how much fun you’re missing until you see those purple toes peeking out of your flip flops or sandals.

I couldn’t think of a better person to inspire us to live "Flip Flop Fantastic" than my good friend and beauty expert Susie Galvez, author of "The Thrifty Girls Guide To Glamour – living the beautiful life on little to no money."

Armed with quick wit, years of professional experience and more get-pretty tips than a beauty pageant coordinator, Susie is an internationally-known beauty expert, author, and leading consultant in the spa industry.

In this month’s Club recording Susie shares...

• What happened at 8 years old that started her on the path to being a beauty professional
• Why you really can feel more beautiful on little or no money
• Her 15 best summertime beauty tips that you must try before the end of the season...

Let Your Toes Go Wild This Summer

Between flip flops, sandals, or no shoes at all, summertime is the best time to let your toes – and spirit – go a little wild with color! How do you know what a purple or blue color looks and feels like if you’ve never put it on?

What’s so wonderful about trying new, wild colors on your toe nails is that it’s an experiment only you need to know. Trying new colors that may seem a bit outrageous can spark renewed feelings of fun and freedom, something we all need to combat the feelings of being weighed down by a very full, responsible life.

Dr. Michael Unger and author of “Too Safe For Their Own Good” says there is a psychological advantage to taking risks. Some of the rewards include feeling emotionally resilient, confident, and happy. You don’t have to jump out of an airplane or quit your job to feel these benefits. You simply have to give a little attention to areas of your life that tug on your curiosity or present a new challenge.

So, why not give your feet and toes a little attention first with Susie Galvez’ homemade pedicure “recipe” followed by a fun, wild nail color for your toes. And notice how your spirit starts to feel spunky!

Susie’s Homemade Pedicure:

Treat yourself to a great summer pedicure at home! Here’s how:

First remove all old toe polish. Soak feet in a large basin filled with anti-bacterial soap for 10 minutes. Push back your cuticles and trim nails. Add one half cup of sand (if no beach is available, it can be purchased at a craft store) and one fourth cup of olive oil in a bowl. Mix together. Slather the mixture to the feet and ankles. Rub gently. Rinse feet well, and pat dry. Apply a bit of your favorite sun protection cream (for the wonderful beach smell) and then apply a wonderful fun in the sun bright color to your toes!

Living Like Their Nail Color in West VA!

I have one of the best jobs on the planet because I get to talk with so many heartfelt, fun-loving, making-it-happen women. Like when I spoke in Beckley, WV earlier this month at the Women’s Empowerment Conference. I shared the morning session and lunch with this group of gals who were a hoot!

Then what cracked me up is to discover that the local TV station did a piece on the conference and I was broadcast in my Wonder Woman outfit all over Beckley! Wanna take a look? Click here

Congrats Vickie Thompson!

This summer is already starting off with a celebration of the 100th member of the Live Like Your Nail Color Club!

Vickie Thompson of Arlington, TX, said she's wanted to join for months and finally did when I said that the 100th member gets her membership and a 30 minute session with me for FREE. I was so excited to tell her she won that I called her right away.

Do we look like sisters, or what?! After our session she sent me the sweetest note:

Mary, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed our phone conversation on Monday. It was such a pleasure to hear part of your story and listen to your words of wisdom. I applaud your efforts to motivate women to live bodacious lives. Aren't we lucky to live in such a time as this? There are unlimited possibilities open to all of us! Best Wishes and thank you for your advice! ~Vickie Thompson, 100th Member of the Live Like Your Nail Color Club
