Since when is being clean and well-groomed an offensive or spoiled brat opinion? Exactly what is wrong with pointing out that you can easily have your feet groomed and cared for in any number of ways...including by a medical professional? If you want to have gross feet...fine...if you want to snark at me...fine...yes, everyone's situation is different, but everyone can be clean and well-groomed...if you don't know what that means, just look around...hopefully, you will learn quickly since most people do! What do those of you who don't seem to care about the "around the edges" part of daily grooming do for a career? You are judged...right or not though it may be...for the whole picture you present...why cut corners on the easy stuff...pedis or mani...professionally or personally done? The snarky attitudes won't get you too far in most professional settings...neither will sloppiness, and poorly groomed feet are part of sloppiness...it just is what it is...you can agree or not, and clearly,(and very unfortunately), many do not seem to get it. Yes, it is a small thing, but lots of small things are all too often ignored...Why?Maybe because not everyone agrees with you? Maybe because some people don't choose to abide by your earlier requirement that toes be polished? Maybe because you are judging blindly, not knowing the people whom you judge? Maybe because the tenor of your posts elicits a mental vision of a woman with pursed lips wagging her fingers in disdain at any who don't meet her exacting standards of good grooming?
A truly well-mannered person does what she feels is best and leaves it at that.
What do I do for my career? I work in a fast paced business casual office with other degreed professionals. Most of the women, not all, go without mani's and pedi's for their everyday look. We earn decent salaries.
It's my personal experience that the higher the degree you've earned, the less you go overboard on an overly made up look.
Did you ever notice if you walk into a professional person's office the one with "the look" is not the doctor or the lawyer or architect - it is the secretary. Professional people don't have time for all that nonsense - their working a zillion hours a week.
Okay, now wait a minute. So now you're inferring that folks who keep toes and nails polished are less educated? Professional and educated women don't have time for a mani pedi or are too high-browed to bother and it is beneath them? This is just as bad as fussing at those who don't . Geez. Btw, I hold two degrees, work, just passed a difficult state licensing exam. Guess what I did as soon I knew I passed? Took my daughter and I for a pedicure. After 100+ hours of studying I missed having a pedicure.Since when is being clean and well-groomed an offensive or spoiled brat opinion?
