Now, normally I'm really skeptical of ANYTHING sold on an infomercial. I really like to see things in person before I purchase them. Also, I hate calling people and giving out my credit card number (We have nosy neighbors, lol Laughing out loud)

However, I've noticed lately that some popular infomercial products have been on sale at Target! Mr. Redrover bought me a "pancake puff" pan (if any of you have seen the infomercial, it actually works really well and is pretty fun! I really recommend it!)

Anyways, while I was at Target buying the usuals - inexpensive underwear, baby wipes, shoes, all the stuff Target is great for! - I saw the PedEgg. It's basically a glorified cheese grater. I had seen the infomercial a couple of months ago but was really skeptical, especially since the infomercial was TOTALLY cheesy!

Before I get to the review, let me preface this (and I'm sorry if this is gross!). I have a skin condition that causes my heels and toes form really thick, cracked calluses - basically I have some gnarly feet. I have used pretty much every product on the market to try to take care of this issue but nothing has really helped (I hate pumice stones with the fire of a thousand suns!!! grr!!) In order for me to feel comfortable wearing sandals or flip flops, I use a Dremel tool (basically a miniature nail buffer with rough sandpaper attached to it) to resolve this issue.

Or rather, I DID use.

The Dremel is a pain in the butt to use, it makes a mess, makes a lot of noise and let's face it, it's just weird to use a baby power tool on your feet (don't worry, this is kosher, my uncle is a podiatrist). I saw the PedEgg in Target and since it was only $9.99, I thought I'd give it a try.

I am SO GLAD I did! This thing is awesome. The simplest way to describe this is - it's shaped like a computer mouse with a miniature, sharper cheese grater on the bottom!

Now seriously, if your feet are fine normally, this probably isn't going to be really useful for you - you just won't need it. This seems like it's a pretty hardcore item. However, if you have really callused feet or a lot of dry, winter skin, this is awesome!

Basically, you take the little thing and swipe it up and down on the dry skin areas (there are instructions) and it shaves off the dead skin. Even better, the...ahem...sediment gets trapped in the egg so that you can empty it afterwards! Plus, it comes with an emory board attachment, so you can give it an ultra smoothdown after the initial treatment.pedeggpedegg

Literally, it just took a couple of swipes (I didn't feel anything - no pain or stinging) and I was looking at fresh, normal, baby-soft skin. Honestly, I was amazed and it takes a lot to impress me. I spent maybe 10 minutes and my feet looked perfect!

I'm going to think about posting before/after pictures (really, my feet were just gross and I'm embarrassed) but seriously, I recommend to anyone who needs a little exfoliation on their feet, this is an awesome product!
