How to Trim Your Cuticles at Home for Neat, Healthy-Looking Nails

Image
Hey guys. So, in the midst of all of my pedicure  articles , I've gotten a few questions on how to actually remove your cuticle. And although I have a article on how to remove your cuticles without bleeding, I don't actually have a article on how to cut them. Now, I know that cutting can be pretty controversial and that most people would just like to go see a professional. But, as you guys know, I like to DIY everything, which is exactly why I Pin to Skillshare because with any good DIY, you need a solid foundation and actually know what you're doing. So, in case you guys don't Skillshare know, basically Skillshare is an online platform where you can go to learn new skills. Kind of like how you guys are Reading this article on how to do something. Well, you can go to Skillshare and learn how to do anything. It's a resource that I use and I do personally pay for myself because I like to educate myself and pick up skills that I wasn't necessarily taught in school...

How to Do a Pedicure at Home for Soft, Smooth Feet

It's been like a year since I did my last pedicure routine now in that article I did a dry manicure or like a machine manicure using an e file so I'm basically taking it back to basics so today I'm gonna show you how to do a simple pedicure so let's get started now disclaimer my feet don't normally look like this this is a judgment-free zone so the Soaking first thing you're gonna want to do is to soak your feet and I just happen to come across this tub on Amazon which I like because it's collapsible so it saves room and when you get older you can appreciate things like that because we ain't got no space but also feel free to go to Target and just buy this in the kitchen section which only cost you a dollar ninety-nine and while you can just use warm water ideally adding other things to it is going to be more beneficial and usually my go-to is apple cider vinegar if I don't have anything else so I will add that to my water or you can just use epson ...

Hi. in this article, we're going to be talking about wound care and diabetic foot care. I'm going to be following along using our Fundamentals of Nursing flashcards. You can snag these on our website leveluprn.com, and a bunch of other amazing flashcards. If you already have a set and you're following along with me, I'm starting on card number 85. Let's get started. Wound Culture Okay. So starting up, we're talking about wound culture and wound irrigation. Big things to know. When you're culturing a wound, you need to do it before starting antibiotic treatment. If we start antibiotics first, we're going to get a false reading, so we need to know what's really going on before antibiotics. Another thing I really want to call your attention to here is that you need to swab viable tissue, so you don't want to swab the eschar or slough. You want to swab the actual wound itself that has good viable tissue. Okay. Irrigation, you're going to want to ...
