We have launched our end of Summer Sale at Barefoot Bling!   Shop our Swarovski Crystal toe ring page for our lowest prices ever on blingy illusion band toe rings.  Coordinating Swarovski Crystal Anklets are also on sale.  These anklets look great with just about anything and are stand-outs.  Swarovski toe rings and anklets are a perfect gift, one they’ll be thanking you for all next summer too!

 We have also lowered prices on our Luxury Slippers!  Super plush and rhinestone trimmed, these slippers are sophisticated and comfy!   Each pair comes in a black satin bag embroidered with the phrase “Is it Time for my Nightcap Yet?!”  The sizes on these run large, so most people can wear a size smaller than their typical shoe size. 

 Very limited qualities available, so shop early for best selection.

I was especially excited when this offer came up, and now I can pass some of the excitement along to you!  I was a guest-blogger on Beauty Chat Blog, writing about Marmalade Pink!  Marmalade Pink is a co-operative of women business owners committed to indie shopping and responsible small-business ownership.  Its a great group with some amazing products for sale, but don’t take my word for it, you can win some of our products.  Now through 6/10/08, visit Beauty Chat Blog and take a few minutes to enter the Marmalade Pink sponsored giveaway, with a group of prizes valued at $150.00. 

While I was there, I also posted a simple recipe for a refreshing, home-made foot scrub.  I couldn’t help myself it is sandal season after all!

. Barefoot Bling has had the honor of being featured on not one, but two wonderful websites in the past few days!  Both Wickedly Chic and Fabulously 40 have showcased our foot and nail files.  If you’ve never tried a glass nail or foot file, you are missing out.  Glass nail files have a permanently etched filing surface that will never wear down, so they will be the last files you ever have to buy.  Nails are left with a flawless edge, and regular use can decrease nail chipping and peeling.  They can be used on natural or artificial nails.  The pedicure file is great for removing hardened or calloused skin from feet.  And let me tell you, these foot files are amazing.  Your heels and calluses can be gently buffed to baby-butt smoothness.  No pumice stone can match their fine filing action.  Don’t think its all work and no play, because these hard-working nail files are also pretty.  Each is individually hand-painted, and some even feature Swarovski Crystals. 

Glass nail files make unique, memorable gifts, and would be wonderful for Mom this Mother’s Day.  As do our lovely selection of toe rings, anklets, and our super-plush luxury slippers!

  Right now is a great time to check out Fabulously 40, as we are sponsoring a giveaway for a nail and foot file set.  Check out the site starting 4/24/08 for details.   Giveaway ends 4/27/08.

Barefoot Bling is a proud sponsor of a giveaway for the Indie Wedding Guide!  This guide provides truly unique ideas for really special weddings! We are offering a glass nail and foot file set and a toe ring sizer.   Its easy to enter and we’d love to see you win!

Barefoot Bling is soon to launch a men’s toe ring page.  Do men wear toe rings?  Yep, some do and the numbers seem to be growing—as is the number of guys getting pedicures at the salon I frequent.  We are actually launching our mens’ ring page due to customer requests, so we’ll start with a few sterling silver toe ring, and some puka shell anklets.  
Stay tuned for updates and the unveiling! 

We did a show, taking our slippers, (pictured in entry below), and they were very popular!  One customer bought a pair of the pink and told me that she had purchased her girlfriend a kit to make Cosmopolitans and thought the slippers would be the perfect thing to add, “since everything would be pink and the bag talks about a nightcap, how cute!”  She’s right, how cute an idea is that?  I thought it was cute enough to share, and the perfect gift basket too.  Our slippers are really fantastic, and kicking up with a nice Cosmo in them would be the ultimate in pink-a-liscious-ness!
