Well, it is summer and sandals are once again the foot attire of choice for many people. If you choose to wear sandals please understand that many people will be looking at your feet. So, clean underneath your toenails!

I saw a woman the other day whose toenails looked as if she had been trimming celery barefooted in the muck. Gross!! I mean, unless you have been walking on the road to Emmaus, there is no excuse for dirty toenails. A shower followed by an under nail scraping with a nail file should do the trick.

Likewise with painted toenails. If you are going to paint your toenails, then keep up the paint job. Chipped nail polish is something that you would expect to see on the toenails of a third grader not an adult. If you don’t have time to touch up your nails, then maybe you should wear socks until you do have time.

Finally, if you have injured any one of your toes and the nail is turning black, WEAR STOCKS!! No one want to see that ugly black thing as it curls up and dies.

These suggestions should have been self evident but apparently they are not.
