From This to That

Do you have dry, scaly feet? If you live out in the West or anywhere else where it is dry, I am sure you do. Take these steps in getting rid of them.

 

Things You’ll Need
 
  •  

    Warm Water

  •  

    Epsom Salt

  •  

    Toothbrush (hard)

  •  

    Emery Board

  •  

    Vitamin E oil

  •  

    Socks

 

    • 1 First get a bucket of warm water, not to hot, with a cup full of epsom salt. Allow salt to dissolve before placing your feet inside. Once the salt has dissolved, place your feet inside of the water, allow to soak for up to 30 minutes.
    • 2 Remove feet from water after 3o minutes. Scrub gently with toothbrush to remove all loose, dry skin. This only takes a small amount of time. The skin should be very easy to remove. Rinse feet with water and pat dry with towel.

    • 3 Once you have removed the excess dry skin, take the emery board and gently go back and forth on the area that is affected. Keep doing this until there is no more dry skin. Once again, rinse feet and pat dry with towel.

    • 4 Once you have done all the steps above. Take the Vitamin E oil and rub on the affected areas, or all over your feet. Put socks on to keep the oil on your feet. Repeat process for at least five days. Please note that it must be vitamin E oil, not cream. via

Tennis Ball Helper

This collection of photos comes from China. Looks like they used a strong box cutter to slit a mouth in a tennis ball, and added rivets for eyes. The ball could be hung up on a wall with a nail inserted into the mouth, though the back of the ‘head’. But you could just add google eyes with glue. Cute and handy little guy!

Homemade Foot Soak and Detox

Reblogged from an apple a day wisdom: Within reason and limit, I try to do natural things that are naturally good for my body.  When I can find something really good for myself that I can do inexpensively from home, I get so excited.  This homemade foot detox bath is one of them.  The ions in the salt work as magnets to draw toxins through the skin of your feet out of your body into the foot soak water.

I love this recipe so much I have made up individual pouches and 3 time use jars of the mix to giveaway to

friends and family as gifts.

1 Cup Sea Salt
