Something's Fishy

I'm not squeamish, but when I heard about fish pedicures, I was officially grossed out. You stick your feet in a pool of water with tiny carp, and they eat the dead skin off your feet. Supposedly, the beauty treatment, which originated in Turkey but is now available in the U.S., doesn't hurt, but I don't think I could handle dozens of scaly minnows attacking my toes, no matter how effective it is. Would you try it?

Aren't I Callus?

After nearly two months of sandal season, my feet started to look rough--literally. We're talking hard-core calluses. I recently wrote about how I usually turn to topical solutions to get smoother feet, but even that wasn't cutting it anymore. So I did what any well-heeled woman would, and turned to my Tweezerman callus remover. I know some women are terrified of callus removers because they use a razor blade to take off dry, dead skin. Personally, I've never so much as nicked myself (thank you, safety shield) and nothing, and I mean nothing, is so effective at giving me gorgeous tootsies.

How Callus!

I'm a bit of an exercise nut: love, love love the way I feel after a long run or a good sweat session at the gym. (It doesn't hurt that working out negates my guilt from my all-too-frequent cupcake splurges). But exercising has given me some serious calluses on my feet, and no monthly pedicure can undo the damage. Instead, I rely on weekly DIY sessions with Sally Hansen Just Feet Deep Callus Remover. When the going gets really rough, I slather super-thick lotion (Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme is a fav) and put a pair of socks on, and leave the whole concoction on overnight. What's your smooth feet solution?
