Oh Irony you horrible friend of ours! You certainly don’t make yourself scarce while our bodies are being ravaged by chemicals and radiation meant to heal us.
Would that our swollen, painful feet and legs love a pedicure! Don’t we deserve a treat after weeks of insomnia, undying heartburn and join pain?

Besides, we’re lucky if we have nails left to look at. Or slip into Pretty Pink Playtex Living Gloves.
