Feet

Have you ever thought about feet?  For some reason I think about them often.  I apologize in advance for the frivolity of this post...but I just need to get some stuff off of my mind :)  Enjoy!

Feet:  everybody has them....well most people.  Anyway...they are pretty crazy features of our bodies.  What I am most concerned with is the care that goes in to feet.  Have you noticed that Walmart devotes almost an entire isle to "foot care products"  It's CRAZY!  There are creams, scrubs, exfoliates, special inserts for shoes, soaking salts, foot spas, etc.  But, despite all of these products, most people do not care for their feet very much.  I haven't even gotten to the part about women paying tons and tons of $$ to beautify their feet in spas and pedicures, etc.  That's all in ADDITION to regular home foot care. 

Now, I realize that writing this is going to cause major scrutiny of my feet, but let me warn you....they are NOT anything to brag about.  I try to care for them, keep the toes a pretty shade of red or pink, and even get the occasional pedicure at least twice in the summer and once in the winter.  But seriously, to have the kind of feet that I dream of I would need round the clock foot care!  In the summertime when we are wearing open toe shoes and flip flops all the days and nights we can, it takes a toll on those precious appendages.  Heels become cracked and raw, callouses form, it's just plain awful.  Let me stop right here and say that if you DO NOT have this problem....don't tell me! Keep doing whatever you're doing and don't EVER take those beautiful feet for granted!!  I have gone to such lengths as to rub my feet down in vaseline and wrap them in socks and zip-lock baggies over night to try to get beautiful results...to no avail!  I would need to moisturize my feet every hour (which is pretty much impossible to do) if I wanted to have the foot luxury that I dream of. 

If you haven't ever thought this much about feet, I hope that you will now :)  It's very important to have proper foot care!  I think people think about feet more than they want to confess.  Why else would photographers focus in on cute little baby feet for pictures?  Feet were meant to be enjoyed! 

I will continue to work on my foot care and I hope that maybe you will take the foot care challenge and strive to maintain better looking feet!  If you need help, please seek a professional to get you started.  Many times it's easier to maintain pretty feet, rather than achieve them yourself.  Especially if you wear a lot of sandals :)  It's the least you can do!
