Shopping tips-Ped Egg

Mar 10, 2009 by cluelessfashionista

Ok ladies, it’s officially March.  The clocks have sprung up (way too early in my opinion) and those of you that observe lent are doing so.  I know there are some of you still dealing with snow storms and very cold weather, but it is definitely time to start preparing for the spring/summer wardrobe changes.  Shoes will soon be going from boots to sandals and  we will start shedding those layers and wearing less.

I do realize that many of you have stopped doing the regular mani/pedi trips that become par for the course during the warmer months.  Actually, I slow up on my mani/pedi trips some as well.  With wearing boots and gloves, those things don’t seem as important as staying warm and cozy in the winter.  However, this can be a bit of an issue when you finally do re-enter the nail salon after several months of no mani/pedis.  The good thing about our hands is that even when we’re not doing a regular manicure, we still maintain them because they’re always visible.  Actually some of you may still get a regular manicure even in the fall/winter months.  I know some people (I’m guilty of it as well) do the whole mani/pedi thing as a package deal so when you stop doing one, you stop doing the other.

Well although I haven’t seen the inside of a nail salon in a few months, I still want my feet to be well maintained.  I know what can happen when the pedicures stop and I didn’t want to deal with that this winter.  I know many of you have seen the infomercials about the Ped Egg and how it makes horribly dry feet look lovely and smooth.  I was a skeptic myself but after trying many different products, I decided to plunk down the $10 and give the Ped Egg a try.

Initially, it gave decent results but nothing mind blowing.  But as I used it more, I started to get more comfortable with it and realized that it was a really cool product.  Now it won’t instantly transform your cracked, dry feet into smooth, pedicured toes, but it will cut down on the dry skin buildup if you use it regularly.  When I first got it, I used it every so often but not very regularly.  Then one day I saw the commercial and decided to be more diligent with it.  Now I use it at least once a week to keep my winter feet more sandal friendly.

Now my feet are looking pretty good.  They don’t look like I’ve been to a salon but they also don’t look salon starved.  I highly recommend that you visit your local Walgreen’s or other retailer and pick up a Ped Egg.  You can order them online as well.  It definitely isn’t a pedicure replacement but it can extend the life of one.  Plus, when you do finally return to the nail salon, the technicians won’t look at you with a raised eyebrow or ask “It’s been a while hasn’t it?”

Let’s start getting those feet summer ready!  For more information about Ped Egg (please forgive the informercial feel to their website), visit their website www.pedegg.com
