I actually have a huge aversion to having my feet touched, so it isn't fun or relaxing for me, but I am really averse to having unkempt feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-83144 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:21:19 +0000 cupcakemama 83144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have runner's feet so they are totally abused and neglected! I should get pedicures more often but I never seem to get around to it. Some of my nails are weird - i lost them after races and they didn't grow back 100% properly - so I usually wear polish as it hides a multitude of sins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-83094 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:50:00 +0000 mrsjyw 83094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: I used to do the same for DH :P HE LOVES IT. LOL at home pedicures.... it's been a while since I've done it for him... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82892 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:54:13 +0000 daniellemybelle 82892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Haha, don't put it past them! One of my favorite stories from when I was little was when I was walking up stairs behind my mom and said to her, "You know, some people have fat mommies and some have skinny mommies. I guess I have a fat mommy!" O.O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82868 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:17:08 +0000 skibobrown 82868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take good care of my feet... although right now at 8 months pregnant I can't really reach my feet very easily, so they are in sad disrepair. I think I'm going to go get a pedicure sometime in the next week or 2 to remedy the situation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82865 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:11:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 82865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take good care of mine, mostly because I’ll take any excuse to go to a spa and get a pedicure. Sitting in a massaging easy chair for an hour while my piglets soak in hot, bubbly water and get massaged and pampered? Umm, yes please! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82857 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:03:07 +0000 LivsMama 82857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: they only banned them because they were unsanitary because they didnt change the blades in between people (ew. So gross.)so people were getting fungal infections. Its super easy to do at home though, you should try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82815 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:34:43 +0000 looch 82815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: ooohh, the credo knife! That sucker is awesome, but I stopped doing it once it was banned from salons in NYC, now I am too chicken to do it at home!</p> <p>I agree with @megwag, one thing Americans do fabulously is the inexpensive salon services. Pedis aren't the same here, I miss the chair and the bubbly water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82813 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:32:03 +0000 LivsMama 82813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Def give it a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82776 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:49:24 +0000 prettylizy 82776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Urgh, I've been dealing with ingrown toenail on my two big tows for like 2 years now on and off, I'm seeing a new podiatrist and I think we've finally got things solved. So I have regular work done on them, but sometimes I just get so frustrated that I stop caring. Regular pedicures help, and I have a pedegg at home for callouses on my heels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82773 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:46:03 +0000 MaisyMay 82773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to take better care of mine...I have gotten one pedi in the last 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82769 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:42:36 +0000 Andrea 82769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holla! Called out by your kid - that's great. My LO better not call me fat or something one of these days. I take so-so care of my feet. I get regular pedicures but I should probably maintain them more in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82748 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:21:23 +0000 mrbee 82748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: Thanks for the link! If I can't regularly sneak away to get mine done, I may have to get that product! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82735 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:12:45 +0000 MegWag 82735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the things I REALLY miss about living in America is the spa pedicures. They do pedicures here, but they tend to just be cut and polish, which I can do myself. I miss the pampering of the soak, massage, dry skin removal... all of that.<br /> That said, I notice that my feet are in better shape the better my diet is. If I'm drinking enough water and getting enough essential fatty acids they are much smoother than if I'm not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82730 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:10:05 +0000 LivsMama 82730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>its tricky getting the backs of your own heels, but I manage. Thats something you might want to asj Mrs Bee for help with =o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82729 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:09:41 +0000 LivsMama 82729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get callus shavers from the drugstore (this guy here <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-callus/corn-shaver/ID=prod3984758-product?ext=gooPersonal_Care_PLA_Corns_ampersand_Calluses_prod3984758&#038;adtype=pla)" rel="nofollow">http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-callus/corn-shaver/ID=prod3984758-product?ext=gooPersonal_Care_PLA_Corns_ampersand_Calluses_prod3984758&#038;adtype=pla)</a></p> <p>I soak my feet/DHs feet for 10-15 mins in hot water, epsom salts, and a few drops of essential oil. When you take your foot out, the really dry skin will be white. Youll notice it mostly on your heels, the outer edge of your foot, and maybe on the side of your big toe. Then ya just shave it until its gone. Your feet feel SOOO good when its done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82698 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:50:48 +0000 heffalump 82698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I'm too lazy to do it on my own and I don't like to get pedicures because they can cause infections and the smell gives me migraines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82697 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:50:43 +0000 mrbee 82697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: How does shaving your feet work? I'm a newb and don't know anything about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82696 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:50:10 +0000 LivsMama 82696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>also, Ill pin DH down and shave his once a month or so as well. He likes the pampering. I like that his feet dont scratch me at night lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82695 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:49:37 +0000 LivsMama 82695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol. kids. They dont miss a damn thing! I do take care of mine. Im constantly shaving them (I know thats bad) but it prevents thick skin and cracks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-good-care-of-your-feet#post-82691 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:48:07 +0000 mrbee 82691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie was checking out my feet this weekend, and he freaked out at how I haven't taken good care of them. His exact words were,"Daddy's feet have crack!"</p> <p>I took a look and he's right: my heels are dried and not in good shape at all. :-( I don't do any foot care myself (beyond clipping my nails), so I'm dependent on having them taken care of at the nail salon. The problem is that I used to do that on the weekends, but that's no longer possible with two kids.</p> <p>Since Charlie first noticed my cracked heels, he's been telling me, "my toe have crack" and pointing to them. It's only a matter of time before he tells other people about my feet cracks. So I'm going to take a break from work today though and get my "feet crack" taken care of. So embarrassing...</p> <p>Do you take good care of your feet? </p>
