22/365

Monthly pedicure apt w the girls.
If you've heard of Okinawa, chances are you've heard of Cocok's (silent k).
Foot soak, leg massage w oil, hot steamy towels & then the most amazing nail art you've ever seen! When I first moved here I couldn't believe everyone had their toes painted so elaborately. It seemed - just tacky! But now after a year here, I can't even imagine my toes painted any other way. I've had hibiscus flowers, cherry blossoms, a Halloween montage, snowmen & trees for Christmas & my favorite so far, gold & black tiger stripes w a hot pink tip! I honestly have not had just one color painted on my toes in a year.
