I like it smooth

Beauty,Health,13 July 2015


Finally! I’ve been waiting to test this super cool velvet smooth diamond electronic foot roll from Scholl for a time that feels like a short eternity. It’s the perfect tool for an express pedicure at home, and much more inexpensive than visiting a salon.  When I first saw this product on tv my only thought was; why has no one thought of this genius idea earlier? I mean who has time to sit and file by hand anymore? It takes forever at least for us with feet like mine.

It’s almost unnecessary to say that I’m very happy with the result and really enjoyed giving my feet a little extra care and love in front of an episode of orange is the new black last night.

To complete my smoothness I also got to test Veet easy wax. Waxing is perfect before going on vacation and gives a much smoother result that lasts way longer than shaving. This wax was super easy and handy to use since you don’t need to do anything else but heat up one portion of wax, apply it on the chosen area and then rip off the cooled off and stiffened stripe of wax. Super easy, not messy, yet effective. Thumbs up for that!

Now I”m ready for the heat to come, walk around in short shorts and run around bare foot without having to worry about nasty legs and feet ;). I like to be smooth, smooth, smooth!

Welcome the sandal season with Salvequick

Beauty,10 April 2015

I have a secret to tell you. My feet are (were) in the exact same condition as when I used to dance ballet on a regular basis, terrible! Now a days I don’t even have a good enough excuse for it. I’ve just neglected my poor feet. Thankfully Salvequick has a great solution for us who don’t have the time, money or will for a pedicure. Exfoliating socks!

All you need is to buy a package from any well assorted departement store (for approximately 22-25 €) and follow the instructions step by step. First you need to wash and dry your feet, apply the plastic socks on your feet, close the gap around your ankle with a piece of tape (comes with the Salvequick package), wait for 90 minutes and then remove the socks and wash your feet.

 After 10-15 days after completing the treatment all your dead skin cells and big chunks of skin will peel off your feet. I  wanted to help the process by giving my feet a warm foot bath and remove the softened and dead skin. After treatment my feet were as good as new. Exactly as good as after a pedicure! I can highly recommend these socks but remember to be careful and wait if you are pregnant or have blisters and sores on your feet.

Now Salvequick wants to offer three of my lovely followers a chance to win their own pair of exfoliating socks with an addition of blister patches just in time for the sandal season or for entering the dance floor! To take part in the lottery, please write a short comment on why you should win and make sure to leave your email address and name. The lottery will end on April 14th.
