Africa

afternoon at the fish spa

fish eating feet

Have you ever been to a fish spa? I haven’t found them very common in the USA. According to the CDC website, over 10 states have banned the use of fish spas. Not here in Africa. In fact, not only will our local fish spa eat away that dead skin on your feet, but you get a breathtaking view in the process.

Over the weekend, several of us girls decided to go to the fish spa, first time for me. Oh.my.word. The initial reaction to fish eating dead skin is a girly scream. I’m not a girly screamer except, obviously, when fish chew on my feet.

And when I got used to it and even relaxed a bit, the fish swarmed my feet. “Don’t judge,” I told the ladies. Sometimes a girl has more important things to do in life than to exfoliate her feet regularly. Know what I mean?

I apologize for making you look at photos of my feet. 🙂

    Ooooh, I don't know if I could do it! Eeek! OK, maybe it wouldn't be that bad. But yes to the girly scream!
