I have been thinking a lot about rough heels lately. You may be thinking that that is a pretty strange thing to be thinking about, and you'd probably be right, but let me tell you my rough heels story. I used to have the roughest heels in town. My heels were peeling, cracked and painful all the time but especially in summer. They got so bad in the summer time that the cracks would go down deep into my raw flesh and they would burn. I could hardly walk because it was so painful. I would have to crazy glue them closed and wear socks and tennis shoes in the summer. BLEH!
Then one day I discovered this product: Artemis Woman Heel Smoother . For about 35.00 I was the proud owner of a tool that really helped my poor heels. I had to buy replacement head and it ran on batteries so it was pretty costly for a budgeting Mama like me. But it worked. I had no more cracks. My heels didn't get caught on nylons and silky things. They were....... normal again. But, after I was using it for a while I thought to myself, hey I could do this with products from the hardware store for a fraction of the cost. Wanna know how? Read on:
Supplies:
Your Husbands Drill (or if you are super cool, your OWN drill)
Cheap Sanding Heads from the local dollar store ( I paid 1.99)
How it's Done Pay close attention here, this is difficult:
BEFORE: This is just a "today" before.

After about 3 minutes of sanding
