Dirty nails?

Hey everyone!
It's that time of season, where all the berries are ripe, and you're digging your nails into all those strawberry and raspberry bushes to get the ripest ones around.
At least, that's what I was doing today.
After two hours of picking bright red, juicy berries on a friend's berry farm, your nails get pretty disgusting.
I tried two different methods of cleaning your nails, and I'm going to post the one that works the best.
Cleaning Your Nails
Here is what you need:

-Nail clippers
-Bowl
-soap of any kind (I used a body wash, but anything will work)
-A nail scrubber thing

First, you take the pick part of the nail clippers and clean out as much from under your nails as possible. Don't try to get them perfect at all. Just so you have less than before under those nails.
Next, fill the bowl with hot water. Then, soak your hands for about 5 minutes so the dirt and berry stains soften up and are easier to scrub off
Now, take the soap and apply some to the nail scrubber. Now, scrub your nails until they're clean!
Touch up after with the nail pick again.
You might have to clip off the ends of your nails, like I did, if you get really badly stained in the process of picking berries or whatever you were doing.
Voila! Your nails should be back as clean as they were before, if not cleaner.

The soaking of the nails must really help . . . sometime you should do like a manicure thing. Like tips on how to give yourself a manicure. Or instructions. Totally up to you.

Wow, thanks! My nails get dirty a lot during the summer. That's part of the reason I wear nail polish because I don't want to pick/bite my nails and then when I get them dirty I can't see the dirt. :) lol
Thanks for the tip!

Hey Becca!

The blog looks great. I'm impressed that you were able to get it up and running so fast!!! It usually takes me weeks to create a new template, lol.

I read your first couple posts and it sounds like there are going to be some neat things coming up on here in the future. God bless!

In Christ,
Christine
