To go bare
To go bare foot is also something our feet love!
If you don`t have any other problems than dry skin on your feet, you can take a weekly foot bath. Or even better, 2-3 times a week.
Start the pedicure by filing the hard skin and then place your feet in luke warm water. Dissolve bath salt in the water or buy a germicidal cure form your pedicurist. Germicidal herbs are effective for cracked heels, nail fungus(Candida), restless feet and legs.
Keep your feet in the foot bath for at least 15 minutes until the skin softens.
If your skin is still hard and dry, use the file softly. Don`t be too rough. It`s better to file your feet more often.
Dry your feet with a soft towel.
Finish the pedicure by giving yourself a foot massage. Or exchange footmassage with your partner! Apply a good lotion and let it absorb thoroughly. The foot massage will increase your blood circulation.
If you have more serious problems like ingrowing toenails, you should see a pedicurist.

FOODIES from around the world are coming to Nelson to sample the region’s gastronomic treats, and its award-winning restaurants are helping to put Nelson on the culinary map.
Hopgood’s owner and head chef Kevin Hopgood said the widespread interest was reflected by a surge in internet searches on his restaurant’s name.
He said it was becoming more common to receive email inquiries from around the globe, and he had received a phone call from a diplomat in China wanting to make a reservation.
He had also had inquiries from Alaska, Canada, Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne, and he believed people were making them on the back of restaurant reviews and awards.
Mr Hopgood said the interest was exciting and rewarding.
“I think it’s putting Nelson on the culinary map.
“We’ve got some great wineries here, and now we can back that up with some great restaurants.”
Mr Hopgood said he believed the interest in his restaurant was a combination of the reputation he had built locally and a reflection of the exposure it had received from awards.
Hopgoods and Richmond’s Bouterey’s at 251 received prestigious national recognition last year.
Bouterey’s was named runner- up restaurant in the country by critic Michael Guy, and in August it won the best smart dining regional category of the Cuisine New Zealand Restaurant of the Year Awards.
Hopgoods won the best casual dining category in the Cuisine awards.
Bouterey’s owner and chef Matt Bouterey agreed that people were coming to Nelson to sample the quality of the region’s restaurants, which was helped by the awards

A skilled energy
A skilled energy healer can use many methods of detecting where such imbalance lies, and will enlist the help of many tools, including vibrational essences.
For the sceptics amongst you ? I recommend you try it!
* ‘Healing’ does not necessarily mean ‘cure’. Healing is the process which has the intent of returning you to whole-ness, which is your natural state of being. Healing takes place at a very deep level and may happen somewhere – in mind, body or spirit – often far away from where the physical symptom manifests. At the end of the day, we all heal ourselves – it comes from within, not without. A healer?s job is to enable you to promote your own self healing, as far as nature will allow. There are some conditions that subconsciously are not ready to be healed – for whatever reason.
Occasionally the fear of being whole after a long period of illness can be daunting, and one must be ready to take that step and adjust thinking & emotions accordingly. Those who need to be healed but are not ready, because changing appears to them to be a more difficult task than not changing (for various reasons), are often not prescribed vibrational remedies until they realise that change is inevitable.

Times; Wellington, New Zealand – Lovers' escapes
Lovers’ escapes
0 Comments | Sunday Star – Times; Wellington, New Zealand, Feb 14, 2010
Love will find a way – and here are some route markers.
——————–
IN THE mood for love? You’d be hard-pressed to ignore the fact that today is Valentine’s Day. But if you forgot, or worse, you’re too cynical to subscribe to the whole ordeal, make up for it by booking a getaway for you and your other half to one of Escape’s most romantic destinations. We guarantee it’ll get you brownie points, and, at the very least, a foot massage.
Bay of Many Coves Resort, Marlborough
Picture this: you’re relaxing in a cedar hot-tub after a day walking, gazing out at native bush-clad hills. Perhaps you have fresh fish to look forward to for dinner, with a glass of Marlborough sauvignon blanc on your private balcony. Romance is definitely not dead, well at least not in the Bay of Many Coves.
Le Taha’a Resort, Tahiti
The French do romance rather well, by general consensus. Combine that with the tropical Tahitian locale of La Taha’a Resort and you have something almost magical. It’s private, and it’s luxurious – Polynesian style. Take a visit to the vanilla plantations for a romantic, sensory overload.
Greytown, Wairarapa
This charming little village is just made for lovers, from the accommodation (small and boutique such as Ambrosia Cottage) to the multitude of cafes and restaurants that jostle each other for space along Main St. Pack a picnic from the French Baker and head to one of Martinborough’s nearby vineyards for a sunny afternoon.
Eichardt’s Private Hotel, Queenstown
Cosy up in one of Eichardt’s suites for mouth-open-views of Lake Wakatipu and the nearby mountain ranges, or nestle in for the evening in the House Bar. The lakefront building is grand, the food is delicious – you’ll feel like a dashing Gatsby-era couple on a naughty weekend away.
Isle of Pines, New Caledonia
South-east of Noumea lies the Isle of Pines: one of those “too good to be true” tropical islands – all white sand, swaying pines, delicate coral and impossibly blue water. Swim, snorkel, sleep and swoon over all that gorgeous natural beauty.
Aitutaki, Cook Islands
Beautiful water, beautiful sand, beautiful weather, beautiful people, beautiful everything. And no distractions. Blessedly un- commercialised, there are accommodation options for every budget, and a lagoon framed by palm trees. There’s no wonder it’s an ever popular honeymoon destination

Struggling Islamic Bank of Britain is bailed out with Pounds 20m by
Struggling Islamic Bank of Britain is bailed out with Pounds 20m by
0 Comments | Evening Standard; London (UK), Jul 27, 2010 | by Nick Goodway
ISLAMIC Bank of Britain, the country’s largest Shariah bank, was today bailed out by its largest shareholder Qatar.
Qatar International Investment Bank is injecting Pounds 20 million of fresh capital through an issue of two billion new shares at just 1p each.
IBB said that without the injection it would not be able “to continue operating as going concern”.
It also said the cash was needed to ensure that it complied with the Financial Services Authority’s capital adequacy rules. Shariah banks in the UK have suffered during the economic downturn and particularly from the slump in the housing market.
Lloyds recently withdrew from the UK market for Shariah loans while HSBC said it sees better growth opportunities in overseas Muslim communities.
IBB, which has some 50,000 customers, saw its losses mount last year from Pounds 5.9 million to Pounds 9.5 million. It raised Pounds 7.5 million of extra capital in January 2009.
Today it warned that it could be forced to cut back its growth plans and possibly reduce the number of branches and employees.
IBB shares dropped 1.12p to 2.13p on the news.
The bank floated on the stock market in October 2004 when it issued shares at 25p each.
Qatari investors, who are deemed to be acting as concert party, will end up owning just over 88% of the shares up from their current holding of just over 50%.
IBB said it “continues to face challenging trading conditions and continues to review its operating cost base”.
