Would you do this for softer skin????

I would say I'm pretty "bull-headed" when it comes to being set in my ways.  I do not succumb to peer-pressure easily and will not waiver on my limits.  For example, if it's past my bedtime, there's little you can do to convince me to stay out.  Also, I hate being in the water, and I will claw your eyes out if you try and throw me into a pool/lake/puddle in the road/etc. 

However, there is one thing that will cause me to fold on nearly all of my rules…beauty.  If you told me that staying out past my bedtime would make me look younger…I would probably do it.  Or if a certain type of pool would gift me with more supple skin…again, dunk me repeatedly!  So naturally, when the opportunity to stick my feet into a little pool of fish where they would gently nibble on my flesh with promises to make my otherwise rough feet feel softer and prettier…well, of course!!!  Sign me up!!  I had seen this once before on the Kardashians (guilty pleasure, I admit), but never once thought that I would do it myself.  But, alas, here I am in Mexico…and, well, why not??  Since the volcano mud bath in Cartagena was so much fun, I had try something different here, too!  

It started with a simple question of curiosity…"Hola, Señor.  Come se dice 'What the heck are those fish doing!?!!?' en Espanol?"  Next thing I know, I have my shoes off and this poor soul is cleaning them in preparation for the fish to feast on my tootsies.  

Now that my, apparently dirty, feet were prepped and ready for the fish-feast, it was time to submerge.  Ready, set…GROSS….

I can't say that it was pleasant,  but I can't say that it was all that bad either.  I am extremely ticklish on my feet, so having little tiny fish poking around on my tender feet is not something I would say I particularly enjoyed, but I was doing it for the experience.  It only lasted about 15 minutes, but when you're ticklish like I am, that 15 minus feels like 15 hours!  

I even convinced my hubby to do it.  (Side note: my husband is truly the greatest!  He not allows me to be my crazy self, but he supports it, too.  Actually, I think he rather enjoys my crazy.  Ha!  Gosh, I love him.)

So here we are…just a typical Tuesday, chilling in Mexico with our feet in a bowl of fish.  Nothing unusual about that...

I gotta say…my feet DID feel smoother!  Like I said, I have pretty rough feet (so sexy, right?), but these little fish did quite the number on that roughness!  High five…err…fin, tiny fish!  Now, would I do this again…?  Yeah, probably, I would!  Wonder if Polished in Charlotte will add this to their menu of options??  

Wanna see the experience in action?  Check out my video on it below.  Excuse my squeamish squealing.  And, yes, I do tend to break out into a Disney character singing voice when I get excited…just ignore that, too.

Mexico, in all it's greatness, has YouTube blocked in some weird way that I don't have the time or energy to figure out.
