Feet

It's been almost a month since I've written on this blog.. I've been busy with the child and writing for the Austrian Times. But I need to get back to this blog because I can talk about stuff I like and stuff. Two days ago I was in the pharmacy buying baby vitamins and birth control (it's super fun to buy that while pushing a baby carriage.. You kinda want to say "let's not have another oopsie, shall we? Ahhahahaha." and wait for the reaction.) when I spotted Footner. Now, I saw a commercial for these things and thought, yeah whatever, but decided to be sucked in and buy it.

Footner are two plastic booties soaked in gawd knows what that are supposed to take off all of your dead skin on your feet. My feet are in desperate need of love. They do look like I dragged them on concrete for several blocks and while I was pregnant I couldn't bend and loofa that crap off. And now instead of spending my free hours (the Husband stays home in case anyone, you know, judges) going for a pedicure, I'd rather spend that time drinking. Also, I'm not a pedicure fan ever since I kicked a lady working on my feet. I'm ticklish.. sweet jeebus I am. So Footner seemed like a good idea.

You cut open the booties, stick your feet in. Seal the top with the provided sticky stuff. Cover booties with socks and wait an hour. Walking is possible but not a pleasant feeling. After an hour wash the goop off and wait 5-7 days for results. Don't use any cream for those days but soak your feet in warm water for a little while daily.. I'm on day 2 and I'm noticing a slight difference.. I'm really curious.. I feel like I should probably vaccuum as I have no idea where the dead stuff is going. Stay tuned..

But as an aside, what a name! Footner! I can just see the marketing team brainstorming..
"Footums!" "Footure!" "Footer!".. "Wait! I got it! Footner!" (handclapping from coworkers..)

Happy Thursday!
