Things that are nasty

with 3 comments

At the moment, my feet.

They’ve yet to recover from the 3-day experience. I desperately need some professional help here, but things have gotten so ugly that I’m a little ashamed to let the pedicurist see them.

In fact, it’s gotten so bad that I, who have been known to call people in Chicago in December and gloat about how I have yet to put on closed-toed shoes, am seriously contemplating ushering in the closed-toe shoe season a few months early. If I didn’t have to worry about taking the shoes off at the mosque every night during Ramadan, I might have already done it. These things are scary, y’all. Like, is that skin, or have you joined The Flying Dutchman scary.

Anybody have suggestions on how to rejuvenate some toes?

  2. My feet look like they have been chewed on. The skin is dried and cracking. Yuck. I can’t imagine having to show them in public each evening!

    I know how to fix my feet – I guess I’m just lazy. I’ve had great results in the past by putting Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Foot Cream all over my feet before bed and sleeping with socks on them.

    Good luck.

  3. Tee, I have some Aveda foot lotion, but it’s just too hot right now to put on socks when I go to bed! ;-)

    Alicia, the whipped organic skin food (the name still cracks me up) appears to be doing the trick… at least things aren’t flaky and dry anymore. Thank you!
