Last night I made my Choatmeal Toffee Cookies from the Mason Jar Cookie Company.
They were really good and Ben and I put a BIG dent in them! But, my search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie continues…
This morning we took a short walk before breakfast. I picked up Nutzo Multi-nut butter as a Christmas present to myself (from WF yesterday). I had high expectations for it given the price – $9.99!!!
Unfortunately, it didn’t rock my world. It’s good, but I was hoping it would be good enough that I wouldn’t need jelly on top. Nope.
I like that it’s very crunchy and you can actually see the sunflower seeds in it, but I don’t think the taste justifies the price.
Then, I wanted to do some strength training – something I neglected last week! I was about to go to the gym, but Ben reminded me about his Goodwill weights set. They are supposed to be changeable, but only one of them works (the other is stuck at 40lb.). So, I did one side of arms at a time.
It’s a good thing I stayed home because Ben said I was dressed like a crazy nutzo person. It’s funny because it’s true…
*Yes, our presents are not wrapped yet and we’re celebrating Christmas with my family tonight!
Ortholite sent me these insoles to try out. I put them in my KSwiss Tubes to give them some new life on my walk this morning. I usually wait to put insoles in my shoes until they’ve got some miles on them.
Ortholite has offered to send a pair of insoles to 3 RER readers! Just leave a comment answering:
When was the last time you got a pedicure?

Denise says
Darn I missed another giveaway because I fail to check blogs during the weekend.
I had a pedicure in maybe July. I had heard some horror stories of runners getting pedicures that caused problems so I’d been hesitating but I had a gift cert to use. I always say I’m going to get one and then just get all frugal and say I can just do an at home one. Maybe after my next half on 12/26 I’ll treat myself again.
amanda says
The last time I had a pedi? Hmmmm…I honestly don’t know…maybe 3 years? I try to do them to myself about 1-2 times a month but they never turn out the same
Katie M says
I gave myself a pedicure last Friday night….but I really don’t think that counts…..so 2 years ago?
Maren says
It was so long ago, I can’t even remember!! So sad lol…I promised once I got my dumb boot off, I’d go get one, so now I need to actually do it!
Amber K says
I’ve never had a pedicure. The whole idea kinda creeps me out!
Belinda M. says
My last pedicure was for my birthday. The first week of November. And I desperately need one now. So sad… Maybe after the holidays I will have time for SELF. 🙂
KK says
I don’t even remember? Is that gross? Also, I live in Boston, so nobody’s seeing these puppies til like June, so… I’m staying this way.
Rae says
Summer 2009, right before my wedding 🙂 In the past 2 years Ive done two Ironmans….which has led to some toenail loss 😛 Think they give discounts if you only need 7/10 painted? 😀
Kerry @ Half Healthy, Half Nuts says
My last pedi was in November, right before we went on a cruise. That was my first once since JULY. Eek!
MrsCrystal says
Last pedi= for my wedding… Sept. 2010
Tragic.
TexasMagz says
It’s obviously been too long since I’ve had a pedi considering I can’t remember. lol
Allison says
I am guilty and admit that I used to get a mani/ pedi every other week-*gasp*! That’s when I didn’t have to pay my bills, now that I’m earning my own income and am reminded by my Dear that he’ll love me regardless of how my nails look, I’ve cut back to once a month haha 😛
jen says
a bajillion years ago.
Missie says
I think my last pedicure was in August. Can’t really remember when, but it was the summer.
Rachel C. says
I’ve only had one pedicure and that was 2 summers ago
Rebecca says
The last time I got a pedicure was sometime in September. My husband got laid off at the end of that month so we have had to cut out non-essential things like pedicures
Leigh says
I think my last pedicure was around Columbus Day weekend…it sure wasn’t any time recently!
Christi says
Last time I got a pedicure? Ugh…probably junior prom back in 2003!
Floey says
Ugh, like 5 months ago! 🙁
Katie says
It’s been months cuz I left annoyed everytime. The pedicurists kept hurting my toes, over filing my toenails which led to sensitive skin, and trying get me to pay $5 to scrub my callouses and $20 to get an eyebrow wax. I will do my own damnit!!! And no, I don’t have a boyfriend…..why do they always ask that?
Melissa says
I got a pedi 2 weeks ago 🙂
Kim says
I got a pedicure back in november. I was going every 6 weeks but I’m trying to save more money so they have been cut…along with my every 3 week shellac mani 🙁 apparently running is starting to drain my budget with signing up for races and buying clothes and accessories for all seasons.
sally kate @themoxiegirl says
monica- if you are trying to make yourself feel better about the shape your feet are in- here goes- i haven’t gotten a pedicure since august!!!!!! gross huh? and i’ve currently got race-training calloused feet on top of the fact that there are tiny specs of leftover teal polish from the last time i got them done. its pretty hot.
Laura @ Backstage Balance says
Girl, my last pedicure was last March (aka before marathon training season). I painted my nails and stuff for summer, but wouldn’t feel right paying someone to touch my feet. I currently don’t have a toenail on one of my big toes!
Khushboo says
Pedicures are the best…I had one 2 weeks ago! I paid freakin $19 for Nuttzo and as much as I tried to love it, I still have half a jar remaining…it’s been over a year since I bought it!
Ali Damron says
My last pedicure was at the end of August for my sister’s wedding! EEEK
Corey says
Oh this summer. Hopefully no one looks at my feet!
Jessica says
I last got a pedicure 5 years ago. While I enjoyed it, my feet are too ticklish/sensitive to have someone touching them. Plus I am too cheap.
caronae says
ooo, i like this giveaway. i had a pedicure probably about a month and a half ago? i get manicures more often since they’re a lot cheaper.
Erin says
Last pedicure? 12 years ago when I was in high school. Hated every minute of it. I like to be the only one touching my feet.
kaitlyn says
I told myself I would get one after my broken foot healed. But, it never happened. Therefore, it has probably been a couple of years.
Erica says
Probably last spring, pretty bad
Kelly says
my last pedicure was 2 summers ago 🙁 this needs to change asap!
Krissy says
My last pedicure was about a year ago! 🙁
Kristi says
My last one was last April. I was going to get one after my half marathon in October but my toenail fell off. And I did not want to scare any of the lovely people at the salon…
Carissa says
My first and last (meaning most recent, not meaning that I won’t ever do it again) pedicure was about 2 years ago, and was a gift from my mother-in-law for Christmas!
Meagan says
I havent had a pedicure in over a year! I have really been meaning to get one but I cant justify spending money on my feet at this time of the year
Mary Beth says
July!!! It has been way too long!!!
Lindsey says
The last time I got a pedicure was 2 weeks ago. I snagged a great deal on groupon!
Alyssa says
I love this post so much. My Christmas gifts are currently all in amazon boxes as well. I was supposed to wrap them tonight, but I suck at life.
My last pedicure….hmmm…..I think maybe I got one with my sister before a labor day wedding? The guy looked at me like I was completely insane when I requested he leave my callouses as they were. I tried to explain I needed them for running, but he wasn’t with me.
RebekahK says
Last Christmas, unless you count the botch job I did for myself earlier today. Maybe I should get them done more than once a year, but considering I haven’t cut or trimmed my hair in 18 months I guess its not surprising. I fail as a girly-girl! ; )
Megan S. says
I haven’t had a pedicure in about 2 months! Yikes….
Jen says
over a year ago! 🙁
adrianna says
i’ve only had one, back in 2006, via my aunt. it was delightful! i’ve just never treated myself to another one. my feet are rank.
Rachel says
I recently bought my first jar of Nuttzo and couldn’t wait to try it, and I was also disappointed after trying it. Not bad, but not worth the crazy price for sure.
The last time I got a pedicure was during the summer at a friend’s baby shower. It was my last, first, and ONLY pedicure I have ever gotten!
Kara says
I haven’t gotten a pedicure in years because I hate people touching my feet! I usually do them myself 🙂
EL says
My last pedicure was almost 4 years ago. My feet are rotten.

I haven’t had a pedicure in a looooooooong time and am in desperate need of one! my toes look awful!

Tonight! I just got home from a crazy semester and my mom and I went and got pedicures ( : Kind of pointless since I’m in NH and no one will be looking at my feet until May…but they are still pretty
Jennifer says
I’ve never had a pedicure! But I love inserts!

Abby Matthews says
Yesterday! I am a pedi-whore.

The last time I got a pedicure was for my senior prom in 2008….yikes.

Crystal says
A week ago and I had to get black because both of my big toes are badly bruised!
Lindsay says
The last time I got a pedicure was…way too long. I have callouses and other unsightly running feet nasties. Ped Egg isn’t cutting it!
Danielle J says
Last weekend. A friend and I bought a groupon for a mani/pedi and finally got around it cashing it in. It was ahhhhmazing 😀
Anna @ fat-to-fast says
Sadly, I have NEVER had a pedicure! Yep, it’s true.
lea says
I don’t think I have ever gotten a pedicure. But my pregnant sore feet could really use some inserts right about now.
Jenna says
Last pedicure was the week before thanksgiving! It’s a simple luxury that I enjoy 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
That’s actually a lot cheaper than I’ve seen Nutzo before! Not a bad price (still way pricier than I’d be willing to pay..but not the original $15 jar!)
runeatrepeat says
It was on sale 🙂
Liz says
Girl, I’m cheap… I do my own pedicure! I save that money for food!!

cindy says
Last spring??? Maybe….
Less says
I’ve never had a pedicure! It’s about that time…
emily says
honestly… way too long ago. my feet need some serious lovin’.
Katie says
The last time I got a pedicure was a year and a half ago, before I left my college job as a spa receptionist. I’m too mortified to let people touch my feet now! Running daily = nasty calluses & toenails 🙂
Maria says
I have such a hart time doing strength training unless I go to a workout class. But recently I bought weights for my house and downloaded the FREE Nike Training app. It gives you options for toning/strength/cardio workouts at different levels and for different times. I was SO sore yesterday. It works!!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Um, I’ve never had a pedicure…eep.

Got a pedi yesterday! China Glaze — Evening Seduction.

I don’t think I’ve had a pedicure for about 4 years – it was right before Christmas in preparation for a trip to Jamaica. I always take off my nail polish in the winter and let them grow back all white and sparkly! Right now my toes are bare and U G L Y!
Carmen says
Never!
Fallon says
About 3 weeks ago!
You better start wrapping up those presents. I usually just put everything in bags but that really isn’t that fun!
Kellie says
My feet are so sad that I am embarassed to get a pedi. Last one was last February before we went to Mexico. My toenails are still black from running so I am waiting until they fall off to get one.
Racheal says
My last pedicure was about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It was a girls day out with my very good (and very pregnant) friend Aimee. We were celebrating that she was now on maternity and I was now off maternity leave and returning to work (more of a celebration for her than me). We enjoyed pedicures and then lunch at Hanks bakery in Port Perry (Ontario). It will hopefully only be another week and a half or so until we will get to meet her baby!
Carrie L says
Way more than a year….
Lauren says
Those cookies look great, and they are making me want to try something similar…
I haven’t had a pedicure in… a long time. It has been at the very least since Nora was born, and she just turned one, so, yeah.
Jordan @ food, sweat, and beers says
Sad but true: the first week of October! Poor toes…

I got a pedicure about a month ago. My friend and I went to Pita Pit afterward for dinner too. It was a fun evening!
Tami says
I have never gotten a pedicure. Maybe 2012 will be the year I change this…
Erika says
Sadly never!!
Karen says
I’ve never had a pedicure. I’m too scared to get one because my feet are ticklish. And yeah that Nutzo is grosso. I bought it because a popular blogger raved about it. It was the worst 10 bucks I ever spent. Bleh!

I have only had a couple of pedicures my entire life and the last one was at least 6 years ago. I don’t like people messing with my feet 😉

I actually had my FIRST EVER pedicure after Black Friday shopping this year. It was great…I may have to go back for more!
tink says
in 2007 🙁
i do my own now mostly out of cheapness & the lack of a baby sitter!
Clare @ Fitting It All In says
You and my older brother need to hang out. He wants Food Network to give him a TV show where he just travels the country to find the best chocolate chip cookie.
Stephanie says
I got a pedicure before Thanksgiving. I’m rockin’ gel polish though so they still look good. Sadly, the length is not so good.
My boyfriend and I are actually going to get his or her pedicures tomorrow since it’s his birthday.
Lauren says
I got a pedicure last weekend but only because I had a Christmas party to attend and I was wearing opened toed shoes.
Jen says
Ahhhh my last pedicure was sometime over the summer! I am in desperate need of one.. I just keep painting over the dark color I have on so no one can see the bruises i always have from running 😉
A'isha says
The last pedicure I got was in 2007 for my best friends wedding. I always do my own at home.
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthy says
I haven’t had a pedicure since I was in a wedding over 4 years ago! They definitely aren’t my thing! They actually creep me out a little bit!
Olivia @unleashingmymind says
Ahhh it has been at least a year since my last pedicure. I gotta get on that! Haha
Tina says
Pedicure? Why running gives me one – I don’t have toe nails on two of my toes! Everytime I’ve gone while being a runner the pedicurist would give me a dirty look. I would rather run than have pretty feet 🙂
Sana says
I need a pedicure and a hair cut. My life is so shambly.
Nicole says
Last pedicure I got was in late September….right before I hopped on a plane to see a cousin get married in Chicago. My mom always makes fun of what horrible shape my feet are in (yeah, thanks Ma!), so I should get my tootsies taken care of more frequently!
Jenna says
Unfortunately about a year ago! I could definitely use one! 🙂
Kelly says
My last pedicure was December of 2008. We were on vacay in Thailand and it was super cheap over there.
