Uh oh! Sandal season is here, and your toes aren't looking too pretty! No worries! AG has tips on how to give yourself a professional pedicure without spending money on expensive salons! All of the products you'll need can be found at your local Wal-Mart!

	Step 1: Cut and file your toenails straight across, slightly rounding the corners. This helps to prevent hangnails, yet the rounded edges help to protect against breakage.
	Step 2: Prepare a hot tub of water with a towel at the bottom for your feet to rest on. Sprinkle Epsom salt and mix into the water. Also add a cup of milk! It helps to loosen dead skin. Let your feet soak for ten minutes.
	Step 3: After soaking your feet, your cuticles are soft. Put cuticle oil around the edges of your nail (Try Sally Hanson's at Drug Stores) and use a cuticle stick to gently push back the cuticles. Unless you are well practiced, try to avoid cuticle clippers. You don't want to cut your toe flesh!
	Step 4: Next, you want to apply an exfoliating foot scrub, or pumice stone to the heal and ball of your feet. Scrub hard to remove dead skin, but if your feet start to turn really red, stop. You don't want to peel off anything but the very first layer of dead skin.
	Step 5: Lastly, moisturize your feet and calves with a thick foot crème. Moisturize your cuticles again with cuticle oil and then don a pair of socks to lock in the moisture, and you're done!
