I usually only check my Facebook site if I get an email saying that I had a new message [or to play Scrabulous :)], but last…
I got my first pedicure ever (!) on Saturday. How can someone go without a pedicure for 32 years of their lives, you might ask? Well, a) you must have grown up in Germany [because pedicures for teenagers and young women are definitely a pretty new invention over there – or am I wrong?] and…
