Today I thought I would gravitate down to the subject of feet. I will start by saying that I am not a fan a feet. I hate them and think for the most part they are often ugly and unattractive.
That being said you will never see a photo of my feet or pedicures on my feet. I will not subject my readers to that unsightly mess lol.
However I will talk about products that will at least get your feet barefoot ready. If you should need to take your shoes off, be it going to the beach or just to wear open toed shoes or sandals. Yes I do wear sandals but it's not my favorite thing and I try very diligently not to draw any major attention to that area.
If you want to get your feet summer ready start by giving your feet a good soak in a home foot bath or even just a basin of warm water. This will help to loosen up the dead skin and overly callused areas. Once you have finished soaking them you can now use a foot file that will help to sloth off the excess skin. That skin needs to be removed in order for any type of foot cream to start repairing the existing skin and help regenerate new delicate skin on a cellular level.
The foot file I purchased is by TRIM and believe me no two files are created equal. I bought a couple from Dollarama and they are ok but the file dulls quick if you have thick dry heels like mine. Which I am happy to say are looking much better since I started this new routine, but you won't be seeing a picture of that any time soon or ever for that matter;)
The two foot balms I picked are from the Freeman line which has been around for more then 30 years and they also offer up face masks, peels and so on. They also have several other sub-brands under their brand umbrella.
The first balm is PEPPERMINT+PLUM which is infused with Shea butter, extracts of peppermint and obviously plum. It will help restore moisture to much need areas such as your heels. It also now has tea tree oil which is good for relaxing tired feet. For those that don't know tea tree oil is also a natural antifungal, which can aide in mild problems of athletes foot as well.

Then after I bought the plum one and tried it I felt it was worth getting another one as they are super inexpensive and seem to do the trick. My second pick is LEMON+SAGE.
The one difference I noticed with this one is on the package it states it is suitable for DIABETIC foot care. I am not sure but I believe its because this balm has L-Arginine in it which is an Amino Acid that helps the tone and texture of diabetic feet. It also quickens repair time of diabetic skin problems due to neuropathy.
Everything I mentioned here today can be purchased at your local Walmart
The Freeman Bare Foot balms were on sale for $2.77 and are regularly $3.50 which is still a great price for 5.3 fl. oz/150ml tube.
The foot file by TRIM is very sturdy and well made and has a dual side, one which is the rasp file and the other side is a black smoothing file. You can take the file apart to clean and empty it as well. The handle has rubber grips for total control and no loss of traction and is ergonomically designed for better filing mobility. Only $3.14
You can view Freeman's full collections on line at

So love your feet and they will....
STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
