Sharing is caring!

Do you kick your shoes off every chance you get and walk barefoot whenever possible?

Born into a farming family, and a country girl at heart, I’ve always been one to avoid wearing shoes. I remember stepping on a honey bee or two while picking strawberries in my Aunt Sandy’s strawberry field when I was a kid. (Yes, I said field, not patch – it was incredible!)

And really, why would anyone wear shoes in the summer? There’s something completely refreshing about stepping barefoot through the soft green grass.

I grew up in an old Victorian-style home with a wrap-around porch. We spent hours swinging in the porch swing and playing random games – all barefoot of course. If the bottoms of my feet weren’t black by the end day then I didn’t play hard enough.

We have a huge screened-in porch and deck on our home now. I slide open the sliding glass door and let the fresh air in every chance I get. Frequently, I enjoy our outdoor living space barefoot.

But, now that I’m a little older my skin doesn’t bounce back as fast. So, walking barefoot can really wreak havoc on my feet. Luckily my sister and I came up with a solution a few years ago. And I’m happy to share it with you today!

Seriously, you have to try this recipe! I have purchased countless lotions promising the end dry soles, without much result.

What’s missing in those foot lotions? – Exfoliation!!

No amount of lotion will keep dry skin away forever. You see before you try to lock in moisture for a lotion or cream, you must exfoliate! Exfoliation sheds dead skin cells and exposes new skin underneath. And this simple homemade foot scrub does it well.
