Half-Assed: Foot care

I'm not one of those women that spends time doing facials and baths and what not.  I don't treat myself to those things, partly because I'm lazy, and partly because I never think about it.  I'm a jump in the shower, get the job done and get out, sort of person.  Well, truth be told I do stand under the hot water for a number of minutes to soothe my aching joints.  Calcium. That's probably what they need.  Don't get me started on vitamins.

My point is I don't have a beauty regimen. I take my makeup off with baby wipes. *gasp* and rarely moisturize at night. *double gasp*  No, I don't wonder why I'm still single!
The problem with being so nonchalant about pamper sessions is that I'll take a look at my skin randomly during the day and notice how dry it looks.  My feet especially.  It's flip flop season and let me tell you, ain't nothing ickier than having a look at your feet and seeing how dry they are!

I got a sample of Burt's Bees, coconut foot cream as a gift.  It was part of a holiday set,  mind you, no one was throwing hints at me. Or were they?!  Hmmm...

Anyway, I love this stuff.  It smells of a tropical island somewhere far away. I can imagine myself sitting under the shade of palm trees, whilst gazing out at the glistening ocean. The gentle roar of the waves, lulling me into a state of peace.  The sun slowly sets as I drink a nice refreshing Guinness. *Sigh* My idea of heaven...minus the tropical beach bit. (Though, I do love the roar of the ocean.)  I'm a forest type of gal. I much prefer dirt underfoot than sand. 

Back to the point!  This foot cream is thick and greasy, so, what I do, and what I recommend, is it be applied at night.  Wear socks to protect your sheets and help keep the greasy gold on your feet where it belongs! (My brain is taking help and keep and turning it into kelp. At least it's keeping with the theme!)

The next morning your feet will thank you!  I know mine will.  You'll notice the difference right away, but if your tootsies are severely dry, you'll have to reapply again.  I mean, I'm sure it's a product you could use every day.  As I stated earlier, I forget about daily lotions and sh*t.  I'll do this until my feet are back to being soft and supple. *Feet can be supple too! Something I didn't realize until I used this cream.*
