Happy Feet

Monday, June 23, 2014


Vichy's reconditioning care for dry feet is very creamy and good for night. There's no scent in it so there's no feeling good factor in it. Even though it's not a luxury product it's very effective.

Crabtree & Evelyn's reviving leg and foot mist is easy to spray on at any time during the day for tired legs, especially when the weather is hot and both feet & legs are swollen. The scent is invigorating and fresh. 
Have to admit that the Kiehl's Cross-Terrain "Dry Run' Foot Cream  is not my favorite. That's probably because I used it for wrong purposes. It's a cooling cream that helps to keep feet dry for example while running. I used it to soften the skin, and for that  the texture is tip light.

Mother Nature's Refreshing Foot Cream by Finnish Frantsila Organics is a rich cream for tired feet & legs. The texture is pleasant with a herbal scent. I applied it only for feet but it is good also for varicose veins. That I need to remember as I have frequently serious cramps in my legs.
Body Shop's Peppermint Cooling foot lotion is my all-time favorite. It's refreshing, easily and quickly absorbing lotion, which I like to use in the mornings. After applying it I put soft slippers on for a moment (while having my breakfast) and sock and/or shoes as I step out.

Detox Patches

Tuesday, April 1, 2014

This is probably the funniest thing ever heard - herbal patches that you place on your sole for a night to detoxify your whole system. The list of the advantages is pretty long:
it's improving circulation, metabolism, quality of sleep, immune system, reducing pain & swelling.
In the package there're 10pc of these patches. It's recommended to use them for 5 nights 3-5 times a year. 
I made this experience last week.  

I placed the patches on my soles, put socks to my feet to be sure they won't come off during the night. 
In the morning when I took them off, they were moist and black. The same happened every morning. It's normal that the patches become dark in the beginning as all toxics are coming out of the body, but by the end of the week they should already stay clean - not for me…
Difficult to say if the patches really work - did the patches turned to black because the herbal mixture got moist or because the toxins came out from my feet? In my general overall feeling I didn't notice any difference. For sure these patches didn't do any harm and I will give them a try again after a couple of months. 













Bright Pink

Sunday, December 29, 2013

 I have easily cramps in my feet & legs. I need to keep my feet warm, use flight socks onboard and eat magnesium. Perhaps these compression calf sleeves would also help a bit. They are ideal for sports especially for running. The benefits are:
  • Improved blood circulation. More oxygen and energy, improved performance.
  • Improved metabolism. Reduces lactic acids and fatigue.
  • Supportive effect. Less damage of the soft tissue endless for muscles.
  • Improved stamina.
  • Reduced muscle strain.



They feel very comfortable. Haven't wore them for running yet. as I mentioned yesterday - I'll start running again as soon as it stops raining. . . honestly.
