Ah, the joy of a pedicure. Warm water, soft music, and the sweet smell of polish in the air—it’s self-care at its finest. But let’s be honest: while your feet are soaking and someone’s scrubbing away your stress, your mind is definitely wandering. Here are 15 thoughts that always pop up during a pedicure:
“Did I shave my legs today?”
Oops. Too late now.
“Why is this water so hot… is it supposed to be this hot?”
Just smile and pretend it’s relaxing.
“Should I go with my usual color or try something wild?”
You’ve been saying you’ll try blue for months…
“Please don’t judge my feet.”
Pedicurists have seen it all. Hopefully.
“This massage chair is everything.”
How do I get one of these at home?
“Is it weird if I fall asleep?”
They’re used to it, right?
“Ticklish! Do. Not. Laugh.”
This is a serious beauty ritual, not a comedy show.
“What if I smudge it before I even leave?”
The anxiety is real.
“Why is choosing a nail color the hardest decision I’ll make all week?”
So many shades of pink.
“She’s using the grater thing. I must have really let myself go.”
Yikes.
“Did I just get poked or am I being dramatic?”
Try not to flinch.
“I hope no one I know walks in right now.”
You came for peace, not small talk.
“I should do this more often.”
Every month. Promise.
“I feel like a brand-new person already.”
Hello, confidence boost.
“These toes are too pretty to wear shoes.”
Flip-flops it is—even in winter.
