That’s right, I said heel, not heal, as in what the Wonderbar does best…HEEL, like the bottom of your foot. I do a fair amount of working out, or maybe it’s just the fact that I don’t get pedicures unless I’m forced to go out in fancy sandals (which is rare), or maybe I’m just too tired to take the time to get down and scrub my cracked heels. At the end of the day (literally), the bottoms of my feet aren’t exactly on the top of my list.
However, because they had gotten really bad, and I knew from experience that the Wonderbar healed my swollen toe, I decided to try a little experiment. I sort of forgot, until the other night, that I was even conducting an experiment- it had become second nature to me, I guess. Anyway, what I do every, single night is follow my whole Wonderbar face and neck routine, and at the end, instead of rinsing my hands (which I really don’t do, anyway), I rub the extra Wonderbar suds all over my heels. (Normally I would just leave it to dry on my hands, where, by the way, I have seen great improvement…they are softer and smoother, not to mention, the brown spots have most certainly faded over time.)
Anyway, after about six weeks of treating my heels, I have noticed that they are healing. They are much softer and the cracks are slowly, but surely going away. Now, I can only imagine that if I paired this routine with an occasional pedicure, or gave it half an effort and actually did a foot scrub, or even applied a moisturizer once in a while, that my heels would be even better. For now, though, it’s enough for me.
Next time you apply the Wonderbar and go to rinse your hands…don’t. Don’t waste a sud. Use it on a scar, a rough patch, a sun-damaged area, an age spot, a scrape…or any part of your skin that may have been neglected or damaged. You’ll be pleasantly surprised, and if you make a habit of it, you might even fall head over heels all over again with this little brown bar, that you THOUGHT was only for your face.
Hooray for summer!
) My mistake? Shampoo is NOT just shampoo, or at least not THIS shampoo. On a side note, I remember a time in North Carolina when my husband and I went trolling for pizza places. We went in and sat down and the first thing I said to the waiter was, “Is the pizza good here?”. His response was, “I don’t know, pizza is pizza”. I got up and walked out. The people at Alterna get it. They take this hair thing seriously, because my hair seriously looks good today. TODAY! It is miserable outside! Sprinkly, wet, hot, humid, muddy. We got up early to go to my little boy’s T-ball game…we get to the parking lot and I’m finding myself wanting to hop out of the car. I think I was feeling kinda cute. You should see my hair!!??!! It’s totally smooth, shiny, bouncy…..like it’s not humid outside. Like, I’m in Los Angeles or something. I love this stuff and I recommend that you go on the website and find a location near you and go buy some. I don’t think you will be sorry. Here’s what she sent: Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo, Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Conditioner, Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Repair Spray and Ultra Fine Brushable Hair Spray. I already called a meeting this morning with my four monsters to issue a warning. ”Look closely and just know that the four bottles I am holding in my hands are not to be touched, held, opened, looked at, sprayed, hidden, eaten, or used as weapons under ANY circumstances and if they are, I’m coming after ALL of you, without any regard to who actually did it.” I don’t think they were listening, but we’ll see….
