I love to get me a pedi .. but like I said .. the wait will drive me crazy

I am actually a bit hesitant to go for a pedi again. I got one just before ds were born (could not cut my own toenails and don't trust DH with a clipper ) and the girl, ok she was new, shaved off half my foot with that thingy that looks like a cake lifter, that takes the razor blade. I bled!!! It was ouchies, so I'm scared that they will dig to deep again. Back then I did not yet used that Scholl Cream, so the cracks were pretty deep with lots of dry skin, so I could not blame her .. but it did still hurt!!!

ohhh you poor thing - i hate those vege peelers they use...i cringe when they start peeling away. I cant believe you were bleeding from it !!!!!!

Be persistent.....work on this (your feet !!) for at least a month....every night, do the cream thing, and rub lightly. I would also lather your feet and heels in baby oil, put some socks on and go to bed. Do this maybe twice a week. You will notice an improvement.

Reading thru the posts, i really thought a pedi would have worked...esp a parrafin wax . Mine were really bad once, i got a deluxe pedi and the beautician told me to just rub them lightly (with a peddy paddle) every night, followed by moisturiser....i did, and they are soo much better.

Good luck with your lil assignment !!!!!!

Thank you mbear!

I did to the moisture and sock thing a long loooong loooooooong time ago ... I believe I was single then DH HATES the socks in the bed, but I'm going to try that and tell him he can sleep next to a socked-wife for two days a week OR he could sleep next to a crocodile for e v e r - hehehe

[mbear]

ohhh yes, my DH hates socks in bed too....but lucky for me he works does nightshift 2 nights a week - so they were my sock in bed night.....good luck.....

I get this paddle looking think that has what is similar texture to sandpaper on it and after a shower or after soaking my feet if i rub my feet with that and it rubs all the dead skin off and after a little while my dry skin and cracks have gone, i found it a handy little tool =) (moisturising after rubbing)

Thanks aamy .. I have one of those, but my crakes are to far gone that it works I am persevering though ... if maybe one day it does work.

Today it's flip-flops again. Guess what I will be doing tonight
I work in a workshop-office where we repair and sell spareparts for agricultural equipment (grain-mowers, mistblowers ect) ... not the cleanest office this side of the mountain, kwim??
