I had seen a post some time ago about using the pedicure spongies and thought it a good idea, but when I found them at the Dollar Tree, I found that I had to buy other pedicure items, which I do not need , to get only 5 spongies and I decided that $1 was too much for only 5, so I am still chasing ends. Think I am going to Lowes or to look for the hair thingies. Thanks for more new idea.
