At Home Pedicure

At Home Pedicure

One of my favorite things to do is get a pedicure. I love the warm weather and wear sandals all summer. I smile every time I look down and see my cute freshly painted toes! The average cost of a pedicure around here is $35. Now that I am trying to live a more frugal lifestyle I will not pay that for pretty painted toes. I have decided to do it myself!

The first thing you will need is bath salts, they are my favorite part of the pedicure because they exfoliate all of the dead skin on my feet. Here is the recipe I use, as you can see all of the items are in my pantry (yours too I am sure)



Homemade Pedicure Salts
1 Cup Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
1 Cup Cornmeal
1 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tsp. of Cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed. Spoon a generous amount of the mixture on your feet or other areas that need to be exfoliated. Do not use on your face! Mixture can be stored in an air tight jar.

Now that you have your Pedicure Salts, here are the steps to a perfect pedicure

• Remove old nail polish from your toes


• Fill your bath tub with warm water, add 1 tablespoon sea salt mixture


• Soak your feet for 10-15 minutes


• Spoon several tablespoons of pedicure salts into your hands, gently rub on your feet. Remember in between your toes


• Rinse and dry your feet


• Trim your toe nails to their desired length


• Using your favorite moisturizer (I Aveeno or whatever is in my stockpile) rub your cuticles and gently massage your feet


• Using a cuticle stick, push back cuticles.


• Weave Paper Towel between your toes as a separator


• Paint on one coat of clear nail polish


• Paint on one coat of your desired color


• Paint on a coat of cleat top coat


• Allow plenty of time to dry

Day 24 of No Spend July

Day 24

For the entire month of July I am hosting a “No Spend July” here at Stylish Saving!


As many of you know, I am a first grade teacher which means I don’t get paid in the summer. My husband and I have a great budget so we factor this in. After scoping out my pantry and linen closet I have decided to challenge myself to a “No Spend July.” The only exception to this is David’s 29th birthday on July 12th, we will be hosting a birthday party for friends and family. My goal for the party is $30 for everything including food/drinks and gift.

Here’s My Goal for the month of July
- Spend no more than $20 a week on gas/milk/produce groceries (using gift cards for as much of this as possible)
- Find creative recipes to utilize all of the food in my pantry/freezer
- Throw my husband an AWESOME 29th Birthday Party for 20 guests
- Enjoy as many vegetables from my garden as possible
- Find fun free entertainment
- Still “rock” free deals or deals that I pay pennies out of pocket. I still have RR’s to roll, Up+ and ECB’s!

What Will I do with the Money We Save?
- All of the money we save will go in an account to serve as an emergency fund for our family.

How You Can Join in on the Fun!
- Decide to spend as little as possible during the month of July.
- Get creative with your pantry and freezer
- Spend time, not money with/on your family


Each day I will post my menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will also post what we spent. Please leave comments if you are joining in on the fun or just leave words of encouragement for David and I! You can also grab the no spend July button on this page in the upper left hand corner and post it to your blog if you would like!

For the entire month of July I am hosting a “No Spend July” here at Stylish Saving!


As many of you know, I am a first grade teacher which means I don’t get paid in the summer. My husband and I have a great budget so we factor this in. After scoping out my pantry and linen closet I have decided to challenge myself to a “No Spend July.” The only exception to this is David’s 29th birthday on July 12th, we will be hosting a birthday party for friends and family. My goal for the party is $30 for everything including food/drinks and gift.

Here’s My Goal for the month of July
- Spend no more than $20 a week on gas/milk/produce groceries (using gift cards for as much of this as possible)
- Find creative recipes to utilize all of the food in my pantry/freezer
- Throw my husband an AWESOME 29th Birthday Party for 20 guests
- Enjoy as many vegetables from my garden as possible
- Find fun free entertainment
- Still “rock” free deals or deals that I pay pennies out of pocket. I still have RR’s to roll, Up+ and ECB’s!

What Will I do with the Money We Save?
- All of the money we save will go in an account to serve as an emergency fund for our family.

How You Can Join in on the Fun!
- Decide to spend as little as possible during the month of July.
- Get creative with your pantry and freezer
- Spend time, not money with/on your family


Each day I will post my menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will also post what we spent. Please leave comments if you are joining in on the fun or just leave words of encouragement for David and I! You can also grab the no spend July button on this page in the upper left hand corner and post it to your blog if you would like!


My Progress:

It is Sunday, so I get another $20. I have some awesome Money Maker's this week so it would be awesome to end this week with $20. That being said, my parents are in town from Florida. So I am now cooking for 4 :)

Are you joining in on the FUN? How are you doing?
