Foot care for fabulous feet!

Winter feet are dreadful! Although they are hidden in our boots and outdoor wear, we still want fabulous feet and need serious foot care, especially in the cold weather.

I came across this article about foot care after fifty and want to share some of the best tips here.

foot care

Yes, it’s difficult to admit that I have a podiatrist added to my list of medical practitioners. He is fabulous! Yes, I have orthotic inserts for my shoes but I HAVE NO FOOT PAIN. I can walk for hours with no discomfort. Because I have many more miles to walk in my life, I take good care of these puppies!

Things that will help with foot care

First of all, I love my Amope! It’s kind of like a sander for your feet. Use it on dry feet and let the little sanding roller scrape away all the dry skin on your heels and balls of your feet. They will feel fabulous!



After you have sanded your feet, apply some good moisture cream. I have tried several kinds of foot cream, including extra special fancy ones that I’ve gotten as gifts. Of the ones below, Aquaphor is my favorite. It’s good for tough jobs!


You need some good nail care items as well. I only recently tried electronic nail systems and I am a believer! You want one that has a nice variety of attachments for filing and buffing. As I get older, my nails are more brittle and ridgy. I keep them short and buffed and I’m happy with that.


 

As long as we’re being real here, here’s another true confession – I sleep with socks on in the winter. Keeps me warm and cozy AND serves to help moisturize my feet. You don’t need fancy socks, you can use regular ones, but these are special ones that you might enjoy.

 


Winter skin care is important. Take good care of those feet now and in the spring, when they are ready to see the light of day again, you will have less remediation work to do!

Hi, I’m Christine

Have you been a wholehearted mother, but time, toddlers and teenagers have moved on? If you are wondering what comes next for you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Or, are you a mom for whom family life has been non-Pinworthy and parenting has been downright painful? I hear ya. There are many of us around.

Are you looking for a life full of exploration and adventure after the nest empties, but maybe you have no idea how to go about doing that? Stick around! We’ll explore adventures together to help you gain more clarity for your own path.

After a couple decades of writing books and articles about parenting, homeschooling and adoption, speaking to homeschoolers and other parent groups, and reaching out to the mom in the trenches who was trying to make the best of it - my kids grew up. Some grew up and grew away. I was determined to find a way out of the pain, emptiness and lack of direction.

For many of us, the journey starts with something we moms are not accustomed to. After years of caring for and serving others, sometimes we forget the beauty and wonder of US. We need to spend some time getting to know the parts of ourselves that have lain dormant, and take the time to explore interests and passions that we set aside.

I’d like to invite you to get the “What’s Next for Mom” workbook and jump into this growing tribe of Moms who are emptying the nest and filling the life! Let’s reignite your Mojo after Mothering!
