FEATURED ITEM FOR NATIONAL WIGGLE YOUR PIGGIES DAY

National Wiggle Your Piggies Day is a celebration of the often-overlooked parts of our body that play such an essential role in our daily lives. Despite the important role they play in our mobility, the humble toe can often be neglected, taking a back seat to other more visible body parts. However, on August 6th, we remind ourselves of just how crucial they truly are by giving them the attention they deserve. So, whether its wiggling them around in the grass or feeling the sand between our toes, let’s embrace this national day and show our little piggies some love!

NATIONAL WIGGLE YOUR TOES DAY:  A LITTLE HISTORY OF PEDICURES

Pedicures are a staple in the beauty industry today, but did you know that the history of pedicures dates back to ancient civilizations? In ancient Egypt, it was believed that nail care was a sign of social status, and both men and women would use henna to dye their nails. Similarly, in ancient China, pedicures were a symbol of wealth and nobility, and only the wealthiest individuals could afford them. As time progressed, pedicures became more popular across various cultures, and in the 20th century, nail salons began to pop up all over the world.
