It's time to kick off your boots and strap on your sandals. However with the rising cost of pedicures the thought of this will make most moms sweat. But don't worry! I've got you! With a few fabulous products and a few simple steps, your feet will be sandal ready in no time.Let's do this:
Step 1: Exfoliate Your Way to Softness
First we want to exfoliate the winter callouses. This process feels amazing, actually tickles and smells like a piece of heaven. So gather these ingredients and get ready to make a year's worth of Sugar Scrub!

- Apply onto wet feet, massage gently, and rinse off.
Step 2: TLC for Your Cuticles
Soften those cuticles in the comfort of your own home with a warm shower or soak. Remember, it's all about care, not cutting. Treat yourself to a DIY cuticle treatment for the perfect pedicure prep.
DIY Cuticle Treatment:
Ingredients:
- 15 ml V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex
- 20 drops Tea Tree essential oil (Tea Tree is very cleansing and is great to ward off fungus)
Instructions:
- Fill a 15 ml bottle halfway with V-6.
- Add 20 drops of Tea Tree oil.
- Top up the bottle with more V-6.
- Apply a drop to each cuticle and massage in.
Step 3: Moisturize for Silky-Smooth Feet
You've pampered and scrubbed—now it's time to seal in that moisture. I prefer my homemade body butter. It seals in moisture, supports my immune system with essential oils and smells great. Lotions with fragrance will dry out your skin and disrupt your hormones, so avoid toxic lotions. Here's the link to my body butter recipe: DIY Body Butter
Final Thoughts:
You work hard for your family! Enjoy this process and don't feel guilty about taking the time to pamper yourself.
In fact, gather your daughter and teach her to take care of her feet too! You'll make memories that will last a life time and you'll also teach your daughter the valuable lesson of self care.
