Since I need to keep my feet around for the rest of my life, I'm taking steps to improve their life. How is that you may wonder? Well first, new shoes. I recently was fitted at my local shoe store, they specialize in running shoes, and discovered... I've been wearing the wrong size! Well, the wrong size for running. Helps explain why my feet go numb between miles 2-3 of every 5K I've done.
What else have I done? While proper running shoes are a major thing for feet, what about how they look when they're not in running shoes?? Do you know how every summer season almost every chick magazine talks about the dos and do nots for summer feet?
Well, they are talking to me. Right to me. Seriously, they are.

| The evolution of my foot care |
My heals are cracked and dry and calloused. My feet look I walked barefoot through the desert. I've used a variety of products on my feet over the years to help combat my wretched looking feet. The long metal file thing. The 'egg' type product. Various lotions and socks at bed time. None of them worked that well. They worked, but they were a pain and barely made my feet look smooth. Actually, they usually looked smoother but when I ran my hand over them they felt rough.

I thought I was doomed. That was until my friend over at For The Love of The Run offered my the chance to try a new product. I'm not so sure it's a brand spanking new product, but it's certainly new to me. And I would have never known about it unless she had offered me the chance to try it. So, what is it? It's a Emjoi Micro Pedi. So this review is aimed at letting all the other people out there know, there is help! And it works!!!
Ok, so when I looked at the package I seriously thought they stole a photo of my feet for their before picture. I saw the after picture and thought there was no way in hell this was going to make my feet look like their after. My feet were too far gone. I was destined to spend the rest of my life with desert feet. So with some trepidation, I opened up the package, read the instructions (yes I really did read them) and went at it. With in 15 minutes my feet looked amazing. They needed a bit of lotion because they were so dry, but the minor cracks were completely gone. The deeper cracks were near non-existent.
I was shocked. I am still shocked. I finally have the after feet!

| Right foot after |
While the instructions clearly say the product is meant for one user, I let my husband use it on his feet. He loves it too. We'll be buying him is own and a replacement head for mine (for hygienic purposes and all). While he was using it, he had me looking it up online to ensure we could get him one relatively quickly.
So this product will be a staple in this house. I making sure I am stocked with AA batteries and replacement heads so if the world ends I will continue to have amazing 'after' feet. And you should make sure you invest in this and stock up too!
