Don't Be So Callus!

Having a callus is no laughing matter. I know I have one on each foot. I have tried everything I can at home to get rid of it. I tried callus pads, they cushion a little but stil hurt. I tried filing, buffing, rubbing and soaking. I tried Callus removing serum. I wouldn't recommend that one.

I put the liquid on as directed twice a day. After two days, my feet were purple, peeling and burning everywhere EXCEPT where the callus was!! Not good. I decided to give up and try to find a podiatrist to help me out since at this point I was too afraid to even go for a pedicure!

A few days later I was looking through my latest Avon catalog to get ready for marketing. Lo and behold there was an Intensive Callus Cream. It looked more like a lotion, but what could it hurt. At this point anything to stop the peeling and burning was fine by me! So I ordered it.I have been using it for 3 days.

My feet have never been softer, smoother or happier!! The calluses are still there, but they are getting softer. They don't hurt anymore and I can actually wear shoes with some degree of incline! I would recommend this stuff to anyone that wants happy feet!!

Happy New Year

Wow, has it really been that long since I last posted??? Yikes. ok, New Year's Resolution #1, post more often on the blog.

Needless to say, the holidays with 2 small children and a small business are nothing short of chaotic. Throw in hosting parties and dinners and life is just turned upside down. I guess that leads to Resolution # 2, be more organized.

I am actually working on that one. We have a room in the basement that is separated from the main part of the basement. In an effort to get more organized and not look like our house is a vandalized Toys R Us, we have decided to turn that room into an office/playroom. Mainly for now we are cleaning out the old boxes and lingering crap. We did get a lot of the toys in there organized in some fantastic bins/shelves from IKEA. They have various sized bins that slide into tracks on the shelves. This allowed me to separate the legos from the little people from the puppets. I'm hoping it stays that way and we can work on other areas of the room!
