Something is Fishy Afoot!!!

This is where I received a fish pedicure!

Have you heard of a fish pedicure? 

They are all the rage in France, so much so, inquiring minds had to know! One cool morning, I made an appointment at the Guily Spa (guili means tickle) and went to check it out for myself.  

What came next? Let's just say.... I wasn't tickled pink. 

Before we get into that, first, a brief history lesson. According to the Guily website, the Garra Rufa fish, as known as "Doctor Fish," are found in freshwater river basins of the Middle East. This type of therapy was first discovered in 19th century, particually at a hot spring in Kengal Valley, Turkey. These little fish doctors are well known for their beneficial effects and for healing certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis.

Photo found online. I was not able to take photos!

What did it feel like? Was it relaxing?  
I expected only a couple of fish nibbling at my feet, just nice and easy.

Instead, it felt like a school of fish sucking at my feet, because it was exactly that! 

Obviously, what I expected and what I received were not the same.
I FREAKED OUT! I did keep my cool though, like Fonzie, 
I just kept taking my feet out of the water, yet as soon I put ONE TOE IN, 
they were on me like piranhas!

I am glad I was able to experience a fish pedicure, however, I won't do it again! 
I resigned myself to home pedicures, no fish allowed 
(other than on my dinner plate!)

I recommend you at least try it, who knows, you may LOVE it!
