Know someone who suffers with toe nail fungus??
Cutest toes I have worked on❤️ This guy needed some help cause he has stubbed his big toe a few too many times and the involution of his nail has caused him to have abit of an ingrown so we decided to test out a Onyfix strip on him... after half a day his toe is looking much better and feeling pretty good!

While uploading receipts for taxes I came across this and figured I better share!! In case you didn't know!!! Also with taxes I want to mention that if you don't have insurance but require Footcare make sure to keep those receipts cause you can claim them on your taxes if you end up collecting enough expenses!!!
Just received these in the mail! Ever wonder what to get someone who has it all, or someone just needing a little extra TLC!!
I have decided to offer gift certificates for certain cases like this!! Best thing for them, I am mobile and will travel to them! And yes I absolutely love making hospital visits!

Had some spare time so I got a new blog up and definitely need to listen to my own advice haha
