Lifestyle Friday: Are your feet ready for summer?
During the winter months, our feet are on lock down, they’re stuffed in boots, lace up shoes, loafers, pumps, and sneakers, but during the warmer months we want them to be FREE!!!!!
We want our toes to peek out from our sandals and opened toed shoes…
…we want air to circulate between them and sing halle-lu-yer for the sunshine and even the rain.
We want the ease of stepping into flip flops in bright colors or sexy ankle straps with our sundresses.
The question is….
Are your feet ready for summer shoes??
Do your heels look like smooth butter or crusty crawdads?
Are your toe nails trimmed and painted?
If they’re ready, kudos to you!!
If not, don’t you worry, we’ve got something for ya.
Its a foot balm made with 2 ingredients
All you need are the following items:
- 1/2 cup of petroleum jelly (to soften)
- 25 drops of peppermint oil (to provide a cooling effect)
- Small glass container with a lid
- Small spoon
- Old pair of socks
Here’s what you do
- Fill the jar with the petroleum jelly
- Heat the jelly in the microwave in 30 second intervals until it’s melted and totally liquefied.
- Add the peppermint oil and stir well.
- let the mixture harden for a few hours (it can be refrigerated if you’re impatient like me)
- Now here’s the best part….before going to bed, slather the mixture on your feet and wear an old pair of socks. When you awake….you’ll have summer-ready-smooth-as butter-feet 🙂 You’ll see.
As for decorating…..
