Foot-Joy Reflexology

What Foot-Joy is reading right now...

Last year, I was with author, Taylor Jenkins Reid. I read EVERY single one of her books! I'm over the moon that she's got a new release, called Atmosphere, but that's not actually what my post is about...

It's about my new with author, Elin Hilderbrand.

I got hooked on her starting with The Perfect Couple which was turned into a Netflix series starring Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber. I mean, hello, who wouldn't be taken with that lineup of actors 💗 Not to mention, the familiar setting of Nantucket and a sordid love triangle/murder mystery plot to boot!

That's just book #1!

Since finishing the TV series, I've read: 28 Summers, Golden Girl, and now I'm deep into The Castaways. While these are the books of my summer dreams, Hilderbrand has a whole winter series too. This past cold season, I devoured Winter Street.

Now that I've sufficiently fawned over Hilderbrand, see if you'll fall head over heels for this author too...and be sure to let me know what you read and share your review.

It's another Soulful Sunday, and tonight, Foot-Joy is offering up a quote that is certainly the definitely of an oldie but goodie:

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going!"

There are numerous sources this quote is attributed to, but the person I hear it from regularly is my FIL. And, he lives it! He is truly the toughest guy (81 or 21) I know!! 💪

This post is a shout-out to him. 💗

We hope it makes you think of someone who faces the toughest challenges with determination, grit, and a sense of humor! And who is there unconditionally for family and friends when they're going through a rough spell.

Remember those super simple recipes Foot-Joy was so fond of sharing?

They're baaaaack!!

Just in time for hot summer days and nights, we have an easy-to-make, easy-to-grab-and-eat, cool, cool treat for you to keep in your freezer all season long.

This one only requires 3-5 items (depending on how creative you want to be). My shopping list is:

* Bananas
* Chocolate Shell Topping
* Wooden ice pop sticks (wooden coffee stirrers work just fine too)

If you want to go full hog and do the "halloween" version, you'll need white chocolate chips and candy eyeballs too. But we find those things totally unnecessary to be satisfied -- and refreshed -- by this snack/dessert/anytime treat.

We'd love to hear from you if you try these and/or have a quick and relatively
healthy sweet summer go-to for us to try.

Frozen Banana Halloween Mummies Bananas, chocolate, and candy eyes transform into a sweet, spooky frozen treat, perfect for an afternoon snack or Halloween get-together.

If your first month of 2025 was as fast and furious as mine was, then you might want to take a pause and read my first newsletter of the year as it provides information on Restorative Yoga. It's both a relaxing and recharging practice that we highly recommend.

Do You Need Restorative Yoga? There are so many benefits to restorative yoga that we just had to share them with you.

It's been a long time coming, but finally we have another installment of our Foot-Joy newsletter for your reading pleasure.

This one is all about the chakras 🌅

Including chakra systems, chakra affirmations, seed mantras, where chakras are in the feet, and more!

Hello Foot-Joy Peeps!

Like you, we've been busy this summer, which is why our social has been quieter than norm.

But we are getting back into the swing of things! Starting with a new discovery...

Organic Mint Ginger (from Whole Foods)

It's like they looked in my tea cabinet and created a flavor just for moi! 🥰

It is an incredibly yummy, soothing, and refreshing combination of flavors.

Perhaps this wonderful tea variety has been on the shelves for a while, but I'm just noticing you now...no matter, it was love at first taste.😋

Do you love tea? What's your favorite flavor? And if you try mint ginger, let us know what you think.

Well, I am adding another Naboso product to my Holiday Wish List!

We love Mexican food in the Foot-Joy household!

So, I'm excited to share this super easy, very few ingredients (read: 4), kid-approved lunch idea!

This weekend, my little one and I ventured to make these enchiladas so she could take them to camp with her. Success!

One adaptation - we used ground beef instead of shredded beef. It not only got a big thumbs up but obviously made the time needed to make these much shorter.

If you end up trying these enchiladas yourself, please share your feedback with Foot-Joy!

Beef Enchiladas Recipe | Yummly Something I will do again

Had such a great time at Taste Buds Kitchen in North Andover that I have to give them a shoutout!

Highlights:

* Learned how to properly and safely crack an egg, open an avocado, and slice a carrot into matchsticks.
* Rolled my first sushi roll ever - and that saran wrap and keeping it tight do the trick!
* Made dumplings for the first time, including molding them into cute "seashells" and "flower bud" shapes.
* Hung out with my work family, making a meal together!

And last, but definitely not least....went home with a lot of leftovers to share with my hubby and little one.

This is such an awesome (and yummy) spot for a get-together of family, friends, teams, kids, and more.

I don't recall ever having a split toenail...until this year!

If you've ever had one, you know that when it gets caught on the sheets (or anything else for that matter) it kills!

So, what to do about it?

Of course, there's a Wiki Fix for a split toenail, which we wanted to share with our reflexology peeps: https://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Split-Toenail

This great blog also talks about some of the causes, like injury, moisture, and - what I was afraid of - age!

And it addresses prevention and what to do if it's a serious split (spoiler alert: contact your Dr. for advice).

Here's to happy and healthy feet this summer!

How to Fix a Split Toenail: Causes, Treatments, & More Learn why your toenail is split and how you can fix it yourselfA split toenail can be a real pain: small splits are unsightly, and can cause discomfort and swelling in the toe. Ultimately, the best way to fix a split toenail is to grow it...

There have been a lot of messages from The Universe lately - about the importance of relationships in your life - specifically, family & friends.

So, I thought this was an apt quote:

"Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears."
~John Lennon

We hope you count Foot-Joy among your friends!
