Cured by a Pedicure

A woman who suffered crippling foot pain and couldn't walk properly for 15 years has been cured, after a beautician yanked her toe during a pedicure.Debbie Thompson, 54, suffered a dropped metatarsal in 2001 which left her with a 1cm lump of bone protruding from the ball of her left foot.
The 20 stone mum-of-three was left limping, using a wheelchair, or forced to wear thick-soled shoes or flip flops every hour of the day to cushion the joint.
She underwent four operations, but they failed to help, and she gave up hope as podiatrists and surgeons were left stumped.
But when she hobbled into a nail salon last month for a pedicure, her life was miraculously turned around. A nail technician simply popped her toe into place.
Pedicurist Holly Pope, who has been working in the industry for less than a year, cured Debbie’s pain by jerking her fourth toe into place.
Debbie, a volunteer hospital chaplain, said: "The lady was giving me this wonderful pedicure.
"She pulled my toe and there was this loud click, and it just popped into place.
"I thought I was going to pass out with the pain, it was so intense. I managed to stagger to the car and get into bed.
"It wasn't until a bit later when I stood up again that I noticed my foot felt different.
"I ran my finger along the bottom of my sole and the bone had gone. I couldn't believe it."
Debbie - a grandmother from Bath, Somerset - developed her foot problem on a family holiday to New York in 2001.
A former ballet dancer, she had never experienced foot problems before, but said: "We had gone to bed after a long day of walking around.
"I was completely asleep when I suddenly woke up with this absolutely agonising pain in my left foot.
"I tried to stand up and, as I did, I literally screamed the place down. My foot was round - almost a Swiss roll shape.
"It was not a pretty sight. My bones were sticking out in weird places.
"I went to see a podiatrist the next morning and he told me the only way to get my foot back together was surgery."
ebbie was diagnosed with a dropped metatarsal. Her instep had become so tight that all the bones had shifted.
She returned home, and ended up waiting 22 months before she had her first operation on the NHS.
Debbie said: "In that time I managed to crush nerves by walking on the side of my foot.
"I had these bones sticking out of the bottom and bones sticking out of the top. I couldn't put my foot down on the floor.
"It was like standing on a hard stone the size of a pea all the time.
"My toes didn't touch the floor as I had this big bone sticking out. And I'm size 20, so all of my weight was balancing on this one point.
"I had to wear flip flops or other thick-soled shoes constantly to cushion it - I couldn't even step out of bed without them on.

"I had to get rid of all my beautiful shoes. It just ruined my life. It was painful all the time."
After operations failed to help, Debbie went to see numerous surgeons and begged them to do something about the unbearable pain.
But they said there was nothing they could do - and it wasn't until she went to American Nails in Bath to get a pedicure that everything changed.
Her foot remains tender after the miraculous pedicure last month, but Debbie’s life has been "completely transformed".
She said: "I just can't ever thank Holly enough. She has changed my life so dramatically.
"To be able to stand up with no shoes on and not be in pain is miraculous.
"The pain was so bad that it was getting to the point where I just wanted to have my foot chopped off.
"I can stand up and I can even go up on my tiptoes. I can actually walk up and down a hill now, and take my dog for walks.
"I'm 54 and for the last 15 years I haven't been able to wear a heel.
"Throughout my forties, when I was supposed to feel quite elegant, I was forced to wear ugly, thick-soled shoes.
"Now, I might be able to wear heels next year, when my two daughters get married. I'm just so excited.

"I can play with my grandchildren now, and I can't wait to run across the beach when I go on holiday next year."
Debbie went back to salon to thank Holly and said they both "burst into tears".
Mum-of-one Holly, 43, said: "It was just a normal pedicure.
"I just held her toe and held the bottom of her foot in my other hand.
"I could feel the bone was not correct, and I usually just massage it as I feel.
"But something happened. I was playing with the joint and it made a loud click. I could see it hurt, so I stopped.
"When Debbie came back into the salon a few days later, I was really worried because she was in tears.
"But she told me I'd changed her life. It was a miracle. I'm so happy to have made a difference."

Science Says This Is Your Most Important Facial Feature

  

What is the key feature that makes a face stand out? While the logical assumption might be your standard nose, eyes, mouth, it's the brows that hold the highest face value.

Beyond their function as a filter against dust, dirt and sweat that might get in your eyes, brows have a strong social significance for "emotional expression as well as facial recognition," reports Yahoo! Health.

Given the general fascination with lush eyebrows lately, we can't say we're surprised. We all want Cara Delevingne's arches, and if we weren't blessed with a set of bold beauties at birth, we're compensating with brow tints, growth-stimulating serums and even hair transplant procedures, which are becoming increasingly popular.

Now, our obsession with arches is finally validated with factual evidence. In a recent study conducted by the University of Lethbridge in Canada, researchers showed people 25 images of celebrities without eyebrows, followed by 25 images of celebrities without eyes. Participants were able to correctly identify 56 percent of the celebrities shown without eyes, but only 46 percent of the celebrities without eyebrows. The findings? Brows are more important than eyes if you want to make a lasting impression.

Thank you, science.

Do You Want Brighter and Glowing Skin?

Have a glowing and brighter Skin- Why we Should Exfoliate?

Do you notice minutes after applying your daily moisturiser your skin still feels dry and flaky?

If yes, you may be missing an important part of your cleansing routine which is to exfoliate.   Particularly this time of year when your skin can look dull and dry, due to environmental changes.  

The skin is constantly replenishing it’s self but slows down as we grow older so sometimes needs a little helping hand removing the old with the new.

The Benefits.

           1. Deep cleanses the skin, dislodging build-up in the pores helping to break down blackheads             and whiteheads.

          2.  Removes the build-up of dead dry flaky skin cells.

          3.  Smooths and refines the skin giving a softer, supple look.

          4.  Enhances the blood circulation to the face giving a healthy glow to the skin

          5. Allows deeper penetration of other products used on the skin, making them more effective

I recommend twice a week to step up your skincare routine for a glowing skin
     
      1.  Cleanse the skin and remove using a warm face cloth (helps open pores) to remove the access cleanser.

      2 . Keep the skin moist and apply the exfoliant evenly over the entire face and neck, use sparingly,maybe a little more around nose and chin area. 

      Use small gentle circular motions in an upward direction, let the exfoliant do the work and facilitate the glide. Focus more on congested areas.

     3. Remove with warm face cloth to remove all particles leaving the skin feeling thoroughly    cleansed.

       4. Use a Toner to help close the pores.

       5. Use a appropriate serum

        6. Use appropriate cream  

I prefer to use an exfoliant that is rich in other active botanicals ingredients for cleansing and balancing the skin, plus the exfoliant particles must be round and smooth to avoid irritating the skin.

Once your skin is looking healthy and glowing then just once a week or even every other weeks will probably be enough.
