This is my first ever blog posting. How exciting! We’ll see if we can keep it up. I thought I’d share one of the unique ways of preparing for the Eid celebration. For women here, eyebrows and feet are a big deal. Plucked and maintained eyebrows communicate to the world that you are an engaged/married women. Which makes sense when so little other than the eyes shows. The meaning of nicely pedicured feet . . . I have yet to fully understand. But you take off your shoes when you enter any home, so as you visit your feet are visible.
My pedicure kit! The amazing thing is every feature has been given to me. Polish and remover from stateside friends brought out by a team last summer; the Ped Egg in a package from a future teammate and the cotton balls from a gal who is leaving the city and leaving all extras behind. He provides even the little things for us!
This thing is awesome. I refrained from showing you how crusty and scaly my feet were/are. But these are the shavings off of my feet. The egg really works.
This is my pedicure assistant! She sat right beside me and played with the cotton balls the whole time. Crazy to think one day I’ll be doing her toes!
