How to take care of your feet? {Five Series}

Second post in the series, I thought I would write about feet because I have never touched on the topic before in the last 3 years almost!!

Wear Socks when going out

Yes, that's my formula to protect my feet from sun, rain, wind and what not!!! I always wear socks when out unless, of course, I am dressing up! 

Salt Foot Baths

Second high on my list are the foot baths. If you haven't yet given a warm foot bath try, you are really missing on one of the divine pleasures of life. Try adding salt to relax the tired feet or add essential oils or body oils for a great-smelling feet.

Moisturize, Moisturize and Moisturize!!

That's the next. Always keep them moisturized. If at night, you sleep with body oils applied on your feet, the better. It keeps the heels from cracking and looking ugly. Even when you are heading out or going to wear socks, moisturize first. 

Hygiene is the Word

Yes, socks, dust, pollution, heels, all play havoc on your feet. So, keep your feet clean at all times. Make sure to put your feet inside shoes or socks only when dry. You can use body powders or foot powders to keep the sweat away from the feet. 

When you are back home, first act should be to free the feet from your shoes and socks and wash them, preferably in warm water and mild soap. Dry them in a soft towel. Yes, go for these little luxuries. They make you feel good :) And, get some cute fluffy bunny bedroom slippers.

Footwear

The most important thing for your feet. Keep heels reserved for occasions and go for flats in daily life. These days, there are countless and amazingly chic alternatives - be it flip flops, floaters, ballerinas and I don't know other names :D For me, its always floaters and shoes most of the times and with two left feet, I can never carry heels anyways so wedges it is!!!

Flipflops from Oasap.com

the bow for the other flipflop came off :(

Hey guys, I wanted to share what I got from Oasap.com recently. So, check out the snaps. Btw, a word about the website, I love the things they have. They have amazing bags, belts, footwear, scarfs, everything!! And, I am not even speaking about the clothes which are just simply gorgeous except some of the things which you can't wear easily in India :)

are they looking asymmetrical or are they looking good even with the missing bow?

Pros

- worldwide shipping is free

- awesome stuff

Cons

- the bow on one of my flipflops came off!!! I would have liked it stitched instead of pasted with some quickfix or something.

- the flipflops are not exactly soft. I like soft footwear. 

- they are not flat even though they are mentioned under flats. They have an inch of heel, platform style. I like entirely flat footwear. 

What do you think? And, don't forget to check out their site here.

PS: I was provided a coupon from the website.

New Footwear causing Blisters {Tip of the Day}

New shoes and slippers almost always tend to cause blisters on the feet or eat away the skin. And, if you have skin as sensitive as mine, this happens every time you wear any different footwear's. So, a simple remedy which I came across is to use unripe papaya juice on the feet to calm down the skin. I haven't tried it but I felt it is worth trying out so do comment.

PS: I have been absent from the blogging world for quiet sometime now. I had scheduled the posts but wasn't moderating any comments. I have published and replied to all the comments today and thank you all so much for your support. It keeps me going even when I am tired and I don't have the energy or will to put up a post.
