My feet are like a desert. They are dry, flaky, cracked and calloused. There is no way you could call them pretty. I feel bad for my feet. I abuse them every day, yet I barely ever take care of them.

Get a Pro Pedicure or DIY?

With the arrival of sandal season, I decided it was time to finally makeover my feet, more out of embarrassment than sympathy. I had two options – fork over $30 for someone to give me a pedicure that will last two days or handle my nasty feet on my own. I decided to forgo the nail salon and tackle the messes that were my feet.

Of course I painted my toenails, but I couldn’t stop there. I had to find a way to remove all signs of foot-abuse. I needed a pumice of some sort, a very heavy-duty pumice. I’ve gone through my fair share of both cheap drugstore and expensive salon pumices, yet they all seem to leave behind traces of the pain I put my feet in every day.

But then my lovely little cousin told me to use a Ped Egg, one of those infomercial, “as seen on TV” gadgets. I had my doubts, but I figured why not give it a shot? God knows my feet could use any help at all.

Ped Egg to the Rescue!

According to the website, the Ped Egg “is the revolutionary foot file that you’ve seen nationally advertised on TV. It’s the newest and fastest way to make your feet feel smooth and healthy with NO MESS!” And you know what? For once, those infomercials told the truth. What the Ped Egg did to my feet could be considered a miracle. My once damaged, hideous feet are now as smooth and as attractive as feet can be.

So for all of you out there who have beat your feet to smithereens, leaving them dry and calloused, the Ped Egg will turn your gross tootsies into feet you will want to flaunt. Ped Eggs can be bought online at the official website or other second-party sellers.

True to its infomercial roots: Today as part of this special Internet offer, you will receive the Ped Egg, complete with two  high quality Emory buffing pads, for only $10 plus $6.99 shipping and handling. As a BONUS, you’ll get a second Ped Egg.
