Give Your Feet a Retreat: Pedicure Time!
Alright, girls. It's time to take those feet out of hiding. The same skin that got you through winter will need some buffing before it shows up in sandals and flip-flops. Maxie104 has some nice tips about doing your own pedicure at home.
Sure, you can go to a salon. But you'll still need nice products to take care of your your tootsies and maintain your pedicurial glow.
For my money, some of the best foot-pampering products out there are the ones by Warm Spirit. I've tried all off these, and they're GREAT. 
My feet (and my whole body) also LOVE their Mango Body Butter. 
Soooooo yummy.
Sephora
This one is a must for people who don't appreciate the minty sent of some pedicure creams. It has the most delicate floral scent imaginable. So nice!
Can we talk? There are times when your feet need some heavy-duty exfoliating. This stuff is serious business. It's usually the first treatment I use after a long winter.
Sephora
If you try any of these products, please come back and let me know how it goes!
Curvy Models + NFL Players = Hot!
Just so you don't think Plus-Size modelling is some kind of fluke...
We bring you the latest news from the world of curvy mannequins. It turns out Shauna Tisdale, CEO of Diva Glam, is introducing a new series of fashion shows featuring 16 full-figured models and 10 NFL players. (I always thought athletic, muscular men looked strange in advertisements with stick-thin women.) The new campaign is called "Diva Glam Flawless Glamour Fashion Soiree" and the shows will travel to various cities promoting plus-sized fashions and breast cancer awareness.
As Tisdale says, "With more than 30% of the female population purchasing plus sized clothing and sales totaling $5 billion in this category, you can no longer overlook this segment of the market". The first show in the series will kick-off (pun intended) on Saturday, June 14th at the Marriot Town Square Ballroom in Sugarland, Texas at 9:00PM. Check out Shauna's website to find out more.
J Hud Infuses "Sex & The City" With New Flavor
You would have to be under a mighty big rock to not know that Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has a role in the mucho-anticipated "Sex & The City: The Movie". But you might not have known that the 26-year-old American Idol finalist is bringing a bit of youth and fashion flair to the movie. She plays a personal assistant to Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker). But it turns out, in real-life, Miss JHud is becoming a fashionista in her own right.
Exhibit A: Sporting a cropped new do, she wore a dazzling form-fitting, metallic dress to the premiere of SATC on Tuesday. 
She tells USA Today she's a purse girl who loves handbags. "My favorite is my Jimmy Choo bag — I got that one first. Another one of my favorites is my Valentino, which Valentino himself gave to me when I was in Rome last year. It has my initials on the side."
Lucky girl! Not only that but she also says she makes clothes and knits scarves in her free time. I think we have a fashion diva on our hands, ladies!

Do You.... Detox?
In case you missed it this week, talk show host Oprah Winfrey started a 21-day vegan fast. As you know, Oprah is no stranger to dieting or fasting. This time, her new regime is being overseen by a diet-book author who is also a spiritual counselor. In addition to giving up meat and animal products, Oprah will also be cutting out caffeine, sugar, and alcohol. You can read all about her 21-day odyssey on Oprah.com .
