Egg-Static

I know it's been a while since I posted to Tried and Tru, but this one couldn't wait. A few of you have asked me to try out the Ped Egg so I purchased one tonight and went straight upstairs to give it a try. I can only say one thing - WOW!!!! I'm so excited about it I can hardly contain myself! Now, I know this is kinda gross, but I've got horribly dry feet. Ever since dance in high school and my fascination with high heeled shoes, the bottom of my feet have felt like industrial strength sand paper. Even after a professional pedicure, I could still probably remove paint from wood with my heels. BUT - this thing more than did the trick. It only took me about 10 minutes and left my feet feeling like butter.


PERKS: It's cheap, it's super easy to use, and it WORKS!!!

PITFALLS: The packaging claims that the "egg" traps the shavings and leaves no mess. That's a big fat lie. Make sure when you use it to put an old towel down to help with clean up.

Available at Target, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, or some drugstores such as Walgreens for $9.99

A heck of a lot cheaper than a pedicure.

Bonus Tip: After I finished with the Ped Egg, I used Dr. Scholls for Her Ultra Overnight Foot Cream to moisturize. It smells great and it's not greasy. Also available at Target or your local drugstore.

Tender Loving Cuticle Care

I received this product in my stocking from my friend Kristie this past Christmas. I'd usually consider myself a life long nail biter but have recently been trying to kick the habit. Now that I've actually been giving a little TLC to my nails, I'm in love with this product! I never knew how much better my nails could look with a little cuticle oil. It's about the size of an ink pen so it's small enough to carry around in your purse. You simply twist the bottom of the applicator for just the right amount of product and apply directly to your nails!

PERKS: The "paint brush" tip let's you apply the product super easily. Best of all, there is no spills and no mess and you can apply it on the go! Brilliant!

PITFALLS: You may need to give the product a little time to actually soak into your cuticles for maximum effect.

Available at Target or your local drugstore for under $6.00
