Why every man should have a pedicure

By Jill O'Donoghue from Killarney Toning and Beauty Studio
Having a pedicure is the most relaxing and effective way to maintain foot hygiene and keep them clean and fresh.
Most men think that having a pedicure is too girly or not a manly thing to do. It's time to change your mindset. Paying attention to how you look and looking after your nails or any type of grooming rituals isn't going to dent your masculinity, or make you less of a man.
Going for a pedicure is a must as it helps to prevent athletes' foot, fungal infection, smelly feet, ingrown toe nails, sore, tired feet, hard, rough skin, and thickened toenails.
Pedicures are a therapeutic treatment for the feet, they are done to remove dead skin, soften your feet, remove excess cuticles, cut and shape nails correctly with the correct implements which help make it painless. The deluxe pedicure chair with built-in back massager can help relax even the most nervous of clients. It's in a private location so no one can see you, helping to take the tension out of showing your feet to someone for the first time. The jacuzzi jets are powerful enough to help soften the toughest of feet. With summer in the door, it's a great time to get the feet sorted out for sandal season and trips to the swimming pool.
I understand some men feel conflicted about getting pedicures since beauty treatments have always been associated with women. Things have changed, getting pedicures or manicures is not always about beauty but sometimes about hygiene.
We use a drill which the men love to see as it makes it feel a bit more manly, also we assure men they don't have to paint their nails, unless they want too of course!
From personal experience, having a pedicure or manicure is a great way to relax your muscles and relieve stress. Both are so therapeutic and give you the feeling of being pampered. You just sit back and relax without the stresses of the world on your shoulders. Make sure you book an appointment for a relaxing, yet essential experience, you will thank me later.

With over 22 billion global streams Hozier, whose other shows are completly sold out, has announced a new date in Killarney this summer.
Not only will the Grammy-nominated, award-winning multi-platinum singer and songwriter, perform in Malahide Castle and The Academy, but he has announced a gig at the Gleneagle INEC Arena on June 27.

‘Take Me To Church’ has surpassed 2 billion streams, the only Irish artist to achieve this feat.
Hozier’s success hasn’t been confined to the UK and US with the album also achieving Multi-Platinum status in Belgium, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Ireland, Russia, Sweden, Poland, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands.
Major TV appearances have helped spread the gospel including stand-out appearances on Later with Jools, Jimmy Fallon , David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel, and Graham Norton. Following a year of sold out shows and festival appearances across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, VH1 crowned Hozier ‘Artist of the Year’ and he received the honours ‘Top Rock Artist’ and ‘Top Rock Songs’ at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.
In addition, he scored nominations for ‘Song of the Year’ at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards at which he performed alongside Annie Lennox and ‘Favourite Artist – Alternative Rock’ at the American Music Awards.
He won BBC ‘Song of the Year’ and the coveted Ivor Novello award for ‘Song of The Year’.
As Hozier prepares to release his third album ‘Unreal Unearth’ in 2023, his 3-track EP ‘Eat Your Young’ was released on March 17 in honour of his birthday and St. Patrick’s Day.
Tickets for Hozier go on sale this Thursday at 9am.

The first born Kerry Calf of 2023 was born at Muckross National Park this week.
Both mother and calf are doing very well. The rare and native bred is distinguished by its black colour, grazing outdoors in all seasons and is extremely hardy. The newborn calf can expect a long and peaceful life grazing in the National Park – the half moon close to Torc Waterfall is a popular grazing field.
Kerry cattle are a rare breed of dairy cattle – native to Kerry, descended from the Celtic Shorthorn, brought to Ireland as early as 2000BC. They are considered one of the oldest breeds in Europe, known for their milk quality and gentle nature.
Killarney National Park recognises the importance of conserving the historic Muckross herd. Former owners of Muckross Estate, Arthur Rose Vincent, were passionate about the Kerry Calf. Today, the rare bred are cared and managed by Chief Herdsman, Mike Fleming, particularity for preservation and agricultural heritage.
Another prolific breed is the ‘Cahernane Kerry’ owned and bred by dairy farmer, Ms Hilliard of Cahernane, Killarney. Ms Hilliard is one of the strongest advocators in the preservation and conservation of the bred. She is life-long secretary of the Kerry Cattle Society.
