Some days and a foot blog!

Warning: This blog post contains pictures of some pretty nasty feet. So if you are grossed out by things like cracked heels, you might want to skip this post.


WELCOME/ WELCOME BACK! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell.
I am now the mother of a 5 year old, a nearly 4 year old and my little baby is now 1! I feel all those typical emotions. Happiness that diapers are almost done, yet sad that my babies are growing up so fast. Where has the last 5 years gone? Yada Yada Yada. If you are a parent, you know and are sick of people saying it. If you aren't a parent, you don't understand and are still sick of hearing it ha ha. But really, it goes fast and makes you realize that you are getting old fast and I am afraid that it only goes faster as I get older. Death scares the hell out of me. I will be laying in bed, waiting for my brain to stop and all of a sudden my awesome brain says "psssttttt... hey you... one day.... you won't be here anymore.... one day.... you will exist no longer..... one day.... your heart will stop beating..... how does that make you feel" and my heart says "oh shit!" and it starts racing and I cant breathe and the room starts spinning as I work myself into a panic. I know its ridiculous. I know I am only 28 years old and, statistically, I have many more years to be alive and enjoy the things here while I can, but damn... death scares me. I'm not scared of the actual act of dying. Im scared that in my final moments, I will have many regrets. A list of things I wish I did when I had the time. I don't want to miss out on the awesome things that will happen in a thousand years. I don't want to never eat breathe, shower, or laugh again. Its the final of finals. I don't want my family to cry over me. I don't want to get old. My 30th birthday is going to be a doozy. I plan on being drunk all day. BA HA HA! I only drink like twice a year but I might crank that up a notch or two. I digress

The reason for this blog post was to write about my boys birthday party, and my BABY FOOT review.. but it might be best if I don't mix the two. So I will separate them. Keep an eye out for my BBB (boys birthday blog). For now, its all about my FEEEEET!!

Ive had one pedicure in my life and that was 2 years ago. I loved the way my feel looked and felt afterward. It was truly heavenly to have someone else cutting my nails, and rubbing my feet. My husband won't touch them. I don't wear socks, like ever (unless i'm wearing my ariat boots) and if I can get away with walking around without shoes, I will. I had some of those vibram 5finger shoes and though they look extremely dorky, they are SUPER comfortable! Unfortunately my husband refused to be seen with me while wearing them, and the velcro strap broke within a few months :( Bummer. After my last pregnancy, my heels got so dry and cracked that they bleed and hurt very bad. The rest of my foot had tiny pieces of skin sticking out and they would catch on everything. I came across a product called Baby Foot.

This box contains 2 plastic booties that are filled with a variety of plant acids and it smells like Lavender. You cut the top off of the bootie, stick your foot in, tape the top of the bootie so the gel stays inside. Then you kick back and relax for an hour. During the hour, I feel nothing. Other than cold gel squishing around my toes. After the hour you wash your feet with soap and water. Immediately after rinsing my feet they felt water logged. As if I had been in the bath too long and my feet got pruney. Not a horrible feeling, just weird, but it subsided within an hour or so. Now this is the time when I came down with pneumonia and was in bed for 3 days (which I don't remember, thanks fever). Day 4, my feet started turning white in some spots. I was getting excited. After a shower on day 4, they started peeling and every day they peeled more and more. During this time I recommend wearing socks. They catch all the little pieces of skin. By day 12 my feet were done peeling but my heel was not much better. It wasn't as dry as it was previously, but other than that, no change in the heel area so I took a razor blade to it. I didn't have to take off much, but did have to take off some skin.

Starting at the top left and going clockwise that pictures are in this order. Before soak. After soak, 5 days in, 12 days after initial soak. I wish I would have take more pictures but as my pneumonia was getting better, I came down with an awful respiratory thing. Ive been sick for a whole month, so taking pictures of my feet was one of the last things on my mind.
All in all, I am VERY pleased with the results of this product. The science behind it is pretty amazing. The plant acids seep into your skin and separate the living skin from the dead skin and it just peels away. I plan on doing this every 4 months and keep my feet looking good. I am hoping that my heels will be 100% better after my next treatment. If you are thinking about this. Do it.
Here is where I ordered
 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00461F4P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However there are cheaper options on amazon. I hear that the Japanese and American versions are the same things, just different packaging. 
If you have tried this, or are going to, let me know how it worked for you!!!
