This summer you need to get your shoes the perfect accessory. Pretty feet. (No, that’s not the name of a product). Yes, I know feet aren’t usually an accessory or pretty, but I think that’s anatomical profiling and I won’t stand for it.
And let’s face it, if your feet are going to be running around this summer half-naked and posing on the cover of Vanity Fair. Oh, wait, that was Miley Cyrus.
If you think about it, our feet are the Cinderella (pre the glass slipper incident) of our body parts. They’re used and abused. “I don’t care if you’re bleeding and have blisters, feet, these shoes are cute and stomach wants to walk to get some ice cream.” And that poor little pinky toe, crammed in there like a Japanese commuter.
Have you seen this? It's crazy. And I thought turtlenecks made me feel claustrophobic.
Is it any wonder our feet look like, uhh… feet? But in true Cinderella fashion, there is a happy ending.
(Today, the role of the prince will be played by the Moom Volcanic Pumice stone.)
There are lots of pumice stones out there, but I think the Moom is the best. Here's why. It's handcrafted from real volcanic rocks. It's round, so it gets into all the curves of the bottom of your foot and won’t cut into your hand. Unlike most pumice stones, it’s bacteria and mold resistant. And it’s guaranteed for as long as you own your feet.
This stone totally rids feet of roughness and calluses. So they are left feeling really soft and smooth, kind of like baby’s feet only much, much bigger.

Wow. And I thought going head-first into someone's armpit on a Chicago Brown line train a few years back was bad.
This sounds like a good product--most stones do nothing for me. I also was interested in checking out that little blue disc that Sally Hansen (I think?) makes that you stick in your shower. Hmm...

Hey Elle,
I hope you like it. The other thing I've been doing is using Miracle Hand Repair Cream on my feet at night. http://www.babyassface.com/babyassface/2008/05/miracle-repair-hand-cream-a-more-mature-girls-best-friend.html
The two together work wonders. I think they also have a miracle foot repair cream but I'm not sure if there is really that much difference in the ingredients.
thanks!

Hey Kia,
Just watched the Ped Egg commercial on youtube. I'm intrigued. Although, looking at the shavings after, I doubt I'll ever be able to eat grated parmesian cheese again:) But it does look pretty miraculous.
thanks
