I have never had nice feet. Never. They are dry, nasty things with curled toes and heels so dry they could sand wood. I am not kidding. I use to be so phobic about it that I would wear socks to bed, even in the summer so that I wouldn’t run the risk of scraping my gnarly feet against my partners legs.

To add to my misery I was born and raised in California, the land of perpetual flip flops! Us die hard Californians don’t necessarily restrict our “sandal” wearing to the seasons of Spring and Summer, nay for a real Californian “flip flops” can be worn through just about any season and to almost every event. You can imagine my horror then as my peers sported their dainty feet with flower painted toes and I had man feet with hard core calluses and dry cracked heels! It’s a small wonder I survived puberty, is all I am saying.

Through the years I have spent a small fortune buying every foot cream and special softening sock known to man trying to remedy my chappy feet. To no avail, if anything the condition just got progressively worse through the years and the skin just got thicker and thicker.

I bought pumices of assorted styles and substances ( lava rock, salt, special stones, blah blah blah) I would scrub and scrub, the skin would flake off and like evil magic reappear thicker and drier than before. I seriously gave up, and just wrote it off as my burden to carry through this life and resigned myself not to every date anyone with a foot fetish because they would probably throw up at the site of my feet.

Finally, I found the holy grail of dry cracked feet! A diabetic chum of mine told me about Flexitol Heel Balm which was recommended to him by his podiatrist. He has worst feet then mine, but his are due to side effects of diabetes.

I am not going to pump it up for you. Simply said it works, if you really do have nasty feet it’s the solution you have been searching for AT LAST!

• It’s cheap! Suggested price: $7.39 Now: $5.99 at drugstore.com!
• I’ve seen it sold at Target, too!

Simply apply twice daily, morning and night. I think in the beginning, you should apply after you shower, and you scrub the excess dry skin from your heels with a callus remover of some sort:

Then apply Flexitol Heel Balm liberally to the affected areas. You will begin to see results within a few days. Quite awesome, after my feet started getting better I started just applying the balm to my dry heels when I had the time. Regardless I swear by it now and it saved my sandal wearing life!

I am sure it will work for you as well, let me know how your progress goes. This really is an issue that is near and dear to my heart!

Well on Monday I got rear ended by some guy driving a Mercedes who was yapping on his phone! I myself am guilty of talking on my cellphone whilst I drive, but now that I have been the recipient of a car accident caused by such an event, I think I will lay off the cellphone for awhile.

Well now I am sore in my neck and back, due to the whiplash. When I was at the pharmacy picking up my meds, I browsed their selection of heating pads for my neck. I chose the following:

WellPatch Heat Warming Pads

They provide immediate long lasting relief from minor aches and pains, and stiffness of muscles and joints. I don’t know so much about the “long lasting’ bit, but it did ease my discomfort.

Price $4.89

If your neck is sore and your back needs some warm loving, give it a try. Feels nice.
