Pumpkin foot scrub
It’s that time of year again! Today is officially the first day of fall, otherwise known as pumpkin season. Celebrate today with a DIY pumpkin foot scrub from celebrity nail artist and owner of As U Wish Nail Salon, Skyy Hadley.
“Pumpkins are more than just for carving on Halloween,” she noted. “They’re rich in vitamins and nutrients and can do wonders for your feet!” They contain “various enzymes that help nourish and brighten the skin, and just by adding raw sugar you have a perfect foot scrub,” she said.
PUMPKIN FOOT SCRUB
Ingredients:
1 can pureed pumpkin
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup raw sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
Directions:
Mix pureed pumpkin in a bowl. Stir in a yogurt, honey, sugar and olive oil. Wash your feet in warm water, and while your feet are moist, apply the scrub using your hands in a circular motion. Massage the mask onto your feet for 10 minutes on each foot and remove with warm water and a washcloth.
It’s that time of year again. Time for PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!!! Just like the rest of the country, I am so excited. I mean who doesn’t love pumpkin ice cream, coffee, muffins and more? As much as pumpkin is good to eat, it is alaso great for making into a facial. Full of Vitamin A & C plus many skin loving enzymes, this facial will take your love for pumpkin/spa days to the next level. So next time you are sipping on pumpkin spice coffee, and eating a yummy pumpkin muffin try this facial. Perfect for those fall nights while watching Hocus Pocus 😉

We love that Megan Fox would be joining the cast of the show “New Girl” in its upcoming fifth season. She’s going to be a pharmaceutical sales rep named Reagan who sublets a room from Jess, Zooey Deschanel, while Jess is on jury duty. Really, we all know, Deschanel is on maternity. She gave birth this August.
