How To Keep Your Feet Looking Pretty And Young
We walk with them out in the sun and they get burned in the summer heat. We put socks on them and put on shoes and they get sweaty and sometimes fungal. And many times we walk barefoot and step on dirty floors or outdoors where they get dry and scratched and blistered.
Protecting and keeping your feet looking young and pretty is actually a very simple thing to do. As summer heats up, you might be making plans to sport your newest flip flop sandals or to take barefoot walks on the beach. Nothing can ruin a summer outfit more than having a pair of dry, chapped, rough looking feet.
As you prepare to do some home therapy, the first thing you should do is to remove all nail polish from your toes and try to do it with a remover that does not have the harmful acetone base. Chipped nail polish on toes is the first sign of a haggard appearance and getting rid of that will be the first way to get to young and lovely feet.
Now, it is time to get them smooth again. Using a foot file or a scrub stone, rub your feet till all rough spouts and calluses come off. You can also try foot scrubs that come with exfoliating beads and gel and rub them vigorously on your feet till you feel a layer of new skin emerge. If you really want a home based remedy with all natural ingredients, you can mix olive oil and sugar and apply it to your feet. You will notice an immediate change, one that might surprise you, because almost instantly your feet will feel soft to the touch, and have the smoothness of brand new skin.
Then, after you have made them smooth and renewed, it is time to soak them in your tub. Fill the bathtub with warm water mixed with soap or bath salts or oils and then soak your feet in there for at least ten to fifteen minutes. This will help remove any dry skin left on your feet and will give them a fresh, young feeling. You will not have to worry about dry, itchy, irritable skin after soaking them in the tub. After drying your feet, apply some moisturizing cream or massage lotion onto your feet and make sure to get in between your toes and get to all the troublesome areas.
Now, the flesh part of your feet are taken care of and it is time to focus on the nails. At this point they should be free of polish, so you want to clean under the nail with a safe nail stick. If you have protruding cuticles, then gently smooth them back with the stick. Then, cut your nails all down to a reasonable length and file them so that they are all rounded in shape and consistent with each other. After that, paint them with a base coat of clear polish and allow that to dry. This base coat will help your nails from turning strange colors from the nail polish contact. Then, apply some of your favorite nail polish to your toes, followed by yet another top coat polish for great lovely feet.

Hansgrohe All in One Shower Valve
Let's start out with the first thing you'll notice, other than the valves Hulk green valve case (we'll get to that in a second) the four full 3/4" ports. Two (2) inlet ports on the left and right, one (1) outlet port for the shower and one (1) for the tub spout. This is significant because most valve companies offer their valves in both 1/2" and 3/4" version depending on the piping size of the home or the volume of water needed for the shower.
What if the water piping is 1/2"? Do I have to buy extra fittings to accommodate the valve? Nope, the 3/4" x 1/2" bushings are included in the box.
You'll notice that at every port there is a black rubber seal. This valve itself is protected against leaking at all its connection points in fact the entire valve is sealed by the green enclosure. If there is a leak within the valve or the connection points the valve will leak into the box and exit through a weep hole on the front of the trim kit.
The next point of interest are the valve's integral stops. Having integral stops on a tub/shower valve allows you to change the valve cartridge or change trim without shutting the water down in the entire house, or close an isolation valve in your home or condominium, if you're lucky enough to have them. Having integral stops sounds like a logical feature to have on every tub/shower valve right? Valves are cheaper to build without integral stops. Hansgrohe doesn't give you a choice anymore and for good reason, they've made the rough-in valve affordable enough to remove the option. You get them standard whether you like it or not.
There are other benefits that we will list but by far the greatest feature is the valves flexibility. It is a pressure balanced shower only valve (the plug for the tub is included in the box), it is a pressure balanced tub/shower valve, it is a thermostatic valve with volume control for a shower, a thermostatic valve for a tub/shower and thermostatic valve with volume control with a diverter to control two shower functions.
How and the heck can one valve to handle all these features? With the trim and cartridge. It is literally a "plug and play" valve. You can get a trim that is simple and affordable or opt for a fairly complex trim set with a full line of styles and finishes. If you wanted to install an affordable trim set but wanted to upgrade at a later date the install is quick and easy.
The significance this valve has on the home/condominium market is profound. Picture a spec housing subdivision or a high rise condominium complex. There has to be a building rough standard. Now the builder or GC can install this rough-in valve with a certain measure of confidence, that they can offer a trim set with a style, features and finishes that can accommodate the majority of their prospective customers. In the past the GC and plumbing contractor would have a standard set of plumbing rough and trim. On many occasions the buyer of the home or condominium would choose something completely different and the plumbing contractor would have to tear out what was installed. This happens more on high end residential but this valve takes those headaches out of the equation.
Here are several other features that make this valve a truly unique product.
The iBox valve can handle water from 6 GPM to 16 GPM. So the need to upsize the valve to accommodate a couple body sprays is not necessary.
Because of the valve configuration and its pre-installed test and flushing plug the water piping can be tested and flushed without the trim being installed. (We'll explain this further and insert a picture of the valve without a trim cartridge to make this more clear)
The valve housing has multiple mounting options. The valve enclosure has leveling points to make sure the rough is level in both directions
Depending on the plumbing wall thickness the valve enclosure can easily cut to accommodate. The next time you are in the market for a shower valve give this one a look.
