All right people who love weird beauty shit… Today is for you.
So last Friday, I decided that I wanted to get myself something small to sort of “pamper” myself. I was at Walmart in the beauty section and I saw a peel foot mask. If you know what these are, you know what I’m likely going to talk about… If you don’t, and you get weird about human body things… I’d suggest you stop here and find the big, “HI, YOU CAN READ AGAIN SQUEAMISH BLOG FRIEND!”
See you in a bit, my squeamish ones…
Now… for the rest of you… I bought the Earth Therapeutics ones at Walmart. I think they were just under $3. If you haven’t done this before, it’s something like this:
You have these weird sort of papery-plastic (kind of like that shit you find in hospitals, where you’re not entirely sure you can determine the chemical composition… If you have no clue what I’m talking about, that’s fine, because I really don’t know how to describe it) booties. The instructions on the back said that they were supposed to have an opening to slip your feet into… Well, mine did not. I sat there for a good 5-10 minutes worrying about whether or not I’d be wasting $3 tearing these fuckers open.
Ultimately, I decided that it was probably more of a waste not to tear an opening in the top of the bootie/sock. Luckily, I was not a colossal failure and I could now slip my behemoth feet into these weird clinical socks with some really gooey aloe stuff going on the inside.
So, as people online suggested, I slipped a pair of oversized socks on top of these, which was probably good, since behemoth feet borderline Hulked out of those socks. Apparently, people with wide feet should accept that their duck feet are going to rip open the top a bit. That could also just be a Kelsey problem, as well.
Anyway, you are supposed to leave these suckers on for about 60-90 minutes. Being the overachiever I am, though, I wore them ALL NIGHT.
Yes, I fell asleep with them on by accident. Whoops.
So anyway, I took them off Saturday. Feet were a little softer, but nothing amazing. Sunday, nothing. Yesterday, it was like my feet went to their old ways… But today, TODAY my friends, I have seen the magic begin. I looked down at my feet after my shower (They suggest soaking daily… I kept hoping a shower was enough)… and we have peelng toes!!!
I mean, it’s fucking disgusting, but satisfying. It has that same appeal (Ha, pun!) as those Dr. Pimple Popper videos. Or her show. It’s like a “renewal” to me. I’m taking off this beaten, rough patch of skin, and I’m making it new. And if there’s something I love, it’s taking beaten, rough stuff and making it new.
So I will let you know in a couple days if I think they are amazing. They’re worth the hype right now, though!
HI, YOU CAN READ AGAIN SQUEAMISH BLOG FRIEND!
I told you I’d let you know. ๐
I watched an amazing TED talk on YouTube yesterday. It’s always great when you find an amazing TED talk.
Go here if you want to see it for yourself.
I’m about 110% sure she’s a fucking genius. It got me thinking, though… What is my dream and what is keeping me from it? That’s currently my life homework, because there has to be SOMETHING I want. After all, I’m not a damn robot… I mean, if I am, they did a pretty damn good job fooling me.
What do you want? What’s stopping you? And who are your people who might be able to help you get there?
That’s some shit to think about, isn’t it..
And that’s 3 in a row. Boom.
