It is the dead of summer and I have declared war against my awful, dry, polish chipping, cracked up heel feet! I sewanee y'all... I had a pedicure a couple of weeks ago and one day later you would have never guessed it. Not because the gal didn't do a good job. Believe me, she had her work cut out for her that day! The truth of the matter is this... I live in the country. I garden, I work, I play in the dirt. I also go barefoot a lot. I chopped out the garden yesterday morning and had mud squeezing up between my toes because it rained on me a little bit. I do good to keep polish on. Big change from seven years ago when I was single and treated myself to pedicures on a regular basis.
Now... I just don't look down.
This is real ugly y'all but I remember looking at my Grandmother's heels on her feet, the one who lived in the country, and noticing how dry and cracked her heels were when I was a very small child and thinking... poor thing... I hope my heels never look like that. They look like they hurt. And dang it if they don't look just like them!
Until now. Last night I broke out my Heel Tastic. I tell you what... that stuff is a miracle. My heels looked eighty percent better when I rolled out of bed this morning. Then I sanded on my heels and side of my toe in the shower. My feet feel much better today. I will spare you before and after pictures. Mainly because I didn't take any.. and won't. But here's what I did use and a picture list of my pedi go-to's.
You can get the Heel Tastic, the Ped Egg and foot file at Walgreens. I go to Sally Beauty Supply for my favorite OPI colors and Out The Door lightening-fast-drying top coat.
