I seem to smell of mould!

I cover my feet with foot cream after my shower every morning and don’t have any problems with hard skin. Every so often I do my own pedicure and paint my toenails shocking pink.

Oh the romance!!

Hilarious! Thanks that’s brightened up my morning!

I don’t trust any smelly things to smell as expected - there’s always a strange hint of something unpleasant.

smile smile …… next time you'll be smelling of roses hopefully! You did make me laugh as I was reading it while having my morning cuppa. Good way to start the day phoenix!!!

Having endured a painful big toe for weeks, I visited a 'podiatrist' (sounds a bit better than 'Lady of 70+ sees chiropodist) and have never looked back. I emerged with feet that felt about twenty years old, no hard skin, nails trimmed beautifully and painful toe sorted out for ever. I paint my nails in the summer, never have those ghastly hacks on my heels that were so painful, and in short this lady in worth her weight in gold. I consider it part of my keep healthy efforts. And yes - to get back to the subject matter Phoenix , I was bought some bath bombs and thought they smelled foul. I stood up and washed myself off with the shower. Never again!

For what its worth... I have a thing (like a Clarsonic but knock off 'Hangsun'). Tried it out on various bits that seemed less than silken. It has made a world of difference to the state of my feet, hands, knees, elbows. Still might need the 'grater' very occasionally. - I'm a 'dry to flakey' person. Husband who is 'olive' (perfect skin grrr) would get no benefit.

Some of the reed defusers smell musty. My husband describes them as old ladies drawers. (I hope he means the furniture kind and not the underwear!)
I still use an old fashioned pumice stone on my feet and it really gets rid of any hard dry skin.

Hope you smell good now Phoenix

Very funny Phoenix and a suitably eye catching title.

Jaylucy your cat sick candle made me laugh out loud.

I bought the boots own foot roller in a pack with some nice nail polishes etc.never got round to using it yet..tidied up bedroom and havent seen it since!

Many years ago, when our daughter was young, we had a 'real' Christmas tree. So far, so good. I thought it would be nice if the room at smelt like a pine forest, so bought a 'pine scented' room freshener. Huge mistake - the whole place smelt like a public toilet!! These things rarely smell of whatever it is they're supposed to. Lesson learnt.

Hilarious post, phoenix. Bad enough having hooves as I know only too well and no bath to soak in either...but smelling of mould too....! You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Oh dear Phoenix, a tad worrying methinks... how do you smell this morning? I hope there's a whiff or two of sun, sea, oranges and roses... and your tootsies are soft as a baby's bottom?

I attempt to scrub my feet every time in shower and/or bath. No problems at all with foot care (loadsa problems elsewhere however).
My granny used to say, always look after your feet they serve you as much as your hands. Although often quite difficult to find a good ‘strong bristle nailbrush’.

Morning and do hope you smell better! Well, that’s an amazing way to aim my very first post at a stranger ... did think you were going to complain about your washing machine (always guaranteed to promote a huge rant from me) but it seems now that you can’t even trust something to put in your bath with the promise of summer ocean smells. Disgraceful, but that’s man-made pongs for you. Often expensive but high risk - even if you survive uninjured after breaking into the packaging!

Oh @monkeebeat, I wouldn't be without my " feet man" ! My chiropodist comes to the house every 6 weeks, my legs and feet are numb due to a medical problem, my sight isn't what it was and consequently I was cutting off the tops of my toes as well as the nails. Myself and 2 neighbours now have a foot meeting and it's wonderful. Side note, the one time I did opt for a pedicure both of my big toe nails went black and fell off !!!

It's a bit like some scented candles - I was given one for Christmas by my niece -label says something along the lines of "a wonderful blend of essential oils , of roses and cinnamon with a touch of ylang ylang - just reminded me of catsick!!! Wouldn't have been so bad, but lit the candle to get rid of just that smell!!!
Those roller things for your feet are brilliant! Son bought me one last Christmas and I have found that if you use it on a regular basis, the hard skin (especially on your heels) can be kept under control.

Have often mused over when I stop having ‘pedicures’ and commence ‘chiropody’

Yes, Curlywhirly they are pretty good. I use mine quite regularly and then have a "proper" pedicure from time to time.

Oh dear ??? never mind, just slather yourself in some lovely smelly body lotion - job done! Are those roller/sanding things for hard skin any good? Could do with a good pedicure!

PS Tried to post this on "Chat" but site seemed to be playing up again.
