Listerine Foot Soak....yes it does work

**Affiliate links**

***Warning, for those of you who don't like feet, there are pics in here containing my feet.  For those of you with the strange foot fetish, do not message me or ask for pics.***

So, a while back I saw this thing on Pinterest, pinned it and never thought of it again.  Later on, a neighbor said when they to camping he'll sometimes take Listerine and pour it around the camp site to keep (um I forgot if it was mosquito's or animals) out.  That reminded me of the foot soak, so I decided to give it a go.

What you'll need:

• Vinegar - I used white, but if you google some people use apple cider vinegar.
• Listerine - any color, though I think most said they used blue....and I opted for the store brand.
• Water
• Measuring cup - for the above liquids.
• A container large enough for your feet.  I don't have a foot spa & at the time, this Pyrex dish was the only thing I could think of that would fit both of my feet in it.

Optional items: 

• Foot file - You can find my review on this HERE....you can also use a pumice stone, but I love my file.
• Lotion - Body Butter or foot cream.  Something that'll moisturize the new skin.  
• Socks - I used some moisture socks that I got at Christmas, but any would work.

You'll also need a towel unless you do this outside because it can get messy.

What I did was measure 1/4 cup of Listerine(I've used both green and the blue at diff times), 1/4 cup of Vinegar, and 1/2 cup of water(I used hot water so my feet would be warm).  You can double, triple, quadruple, whatever...the recipe as needed for your feet and/or the container.  As you'll see below, I used a different container both times I've done this.

The liquid is there, trust me.

Both times I did this at my desk.  I soaked my feet for 10 minutes.  Most of the posts I've found online state that you can just easily wipe the dead skin away.  I pulled out my file and went to town.  Let me just tell you it removed way more than using the file alone and way more than if I were to go get a pedicure.  I was amazed at how much it removed.  

I also kept a damp rag nearby to remove anything that stuck to my feet.  Apply lotion, socks, and you're done.  I find that I can do this once a week if needed or even once every two weeks. 

Give it a try, let me know how it works for you.  

Side note:  I think I remember some people saying the Listerine stained their feet, I had no issue as it came off when I removed the dead skin with the file.

Zoya Zara Pedi

Want a purple with a gold shimmer?  This is your girl!  I absolutely LOVE this shade.  I let my son pick out the colors for this pedi as I sometimes do when I can't make up my mind.

I'll let the pics below speak for themselves.  I'm always messy when I paint my toenails, but this isn't as bad as usual.  Yeah I could do clean-up but I was lazy and just wanted to get it done so I could paint my nails.

Best Pedicure Tool EVER!!!!! (pic heavy)

 **Affiliate Links**

Today I'm going to review the Denco Easy Grip Foot Smoother.

As the title states, this one is pic heavy.  One of the nail salons I used to frequent used this product rather than the razor/pumice combo.  The first time I ever saw this, I was amazed.  It didn't hurt at all and actually did an amazing job.

I couldn't find this product anywhere after those few trips.  So, I settled for the Ped Egg.  Lets just say that product is the biggest waste of $10 ever, in my opinion.  It did NOTHING to smooth my feet, and the other half wasn't too crazy about it either.

So, I finally found this on a few websites at about double what I paid for it.  I patiently waited.  Last week I had some extra money in my account and found it on Amazon (link is way above).  I had to go ahead and snag it up before I kept putting it off.  I was just tired of rough dry feet.

I got it home and was like a kid in a candy store.  Had to use it right away.  I soaked my feet in warm water with Calgon, used the file as you would use a razor, dried my feet, then applied a thick layer of Vaseline (to moisturize overnight), and threw some socks on.  I woke up the next morning with the softest feet I've had in ages.  AND I did it at home!!!

I'll warn you my feet are nasty, but not as bad as most feet.  So, if you don't like feet, don't look at the pics.

This product is easily worth the money.  Especially if you'd rather do your own pedicures at home and not pay the same price every time you go to a salon.  My feet are the softest they've been in ages, and still soft even a week later.
