So, if you need a little bit of help to get things going, start by creating the perfect ambience. Play some soft, relaxing music, dim the lights, and let a scented candle be the only thing to see by. Pour yourself a glass of champagne, and slip into something more comfortable.

Dry, cracked skin is a common problem, especially if you’re on your feet a lot. To get them sandal-ready and to soften the skin, soak your feet in hot water for 20 minutes. At the same time, squeeze fresh lemon juice over a few aspirin tablets, and mix into a paste.
