If your feet or hands are cracked and split, you need serious help.

Not too many products guarantee help for cracked and split feet and hands, but O’Keeffe’s Working Feet and Working Hands, does. In fact, to quote O’Keeffe’s:

O’Keeffe’s Working Hands and Working Feet Creme are the only guaranteed overnight relief for hands and feet that crack and split.

The original formula was created as a labor of love by a pharmacist for her father whose hands and feet were severely cracked and bleeding. After years of research and testing the result is a skin therapy that finally delivers relief. Thousands of testimonials from ecstatic customers confirm “the stuff really works”

O’Keeffe’s Working Feet is a thick cream. Suggested use is to apply at nighttime, when your skin’s temperature rises, resulting in increased circulation and healing.

I use both the O’Keeffe’s Working Feet, and Working Hands cream, and am very pleased with the results. It leaves your hands and feet feeling smooth, and those tough callouses, soften. These products also work great for rough, dry skin on your elbows.

O’Keeffe’s does not test their products on animals, nor do their products contain any animal byproducts.

O’Keeffe’s products can be purchased online at www.okeeffescompany.com

While on their website, take time to read the inspiring story of how this female entrepreneur started the company, and how it’s grown over the years. Also included are testimonials, and information for people with diabetes.

So…..if you need help healing those rough, dry, cracked hands elbows, and/or feet, here’s a great product.

And, as an added benefit…..these are more great products, made in the USA. 8)

Product Review: Johnson’s Foot Soap

Are your feet sore and aching at the end of the day? Are your feet burning and itching? Do you have corns and calluses on your feet?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions. I have a great product for you to try.

It’s “Johnson’s Foot Soap”.

I’ve been using Johnson’s Foot Soap for many years now. It leaves my feet soft and refreshed.

I buy Johnson’s Foot Soap at my local Walmart. It is packaged in an orange and white box, and is found in the “foot care” section. Each box contains four packets, which you mix in a foot basin, with warm water. Soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes. Use a pumice stone for those stubborn calluses.

Remember to read the warning label.

“Keep out of reach of children.” “If you have diabetes or poor circulation, consult a doctor before using this or any other product that involves immersing the feet in hot water.”

Another use for Johnson’s Foot Soap which I haven’t tried yet, is to take a “full body soak”. It clams to leave you feeling energized and relaxed.

To see what the box of Johnson’s Foot Soap looks like, go to www.johnsonsfootsoap.com

And lastly, this is another great product “Made in the USA”.

Products Made In The USA

I like to not only use, but I like to promote products made in the USA.

With the recent recall of almost one million Fisher Price toys, (see Keep Current On Recalls), I think it’s even more important to find and use products made in the USA, which are regulated by tough governmental regulations.

It’s because of the recent recall, I have added a new “category” to my site. It’s called “Made In The USA”, and I will continually update the page, as I find products made in the USA.

Let’s support our own economy, and try to find, buy, and use products, made here in the United States.

Product Review: Ecos Laundry Detergent

Buying a “natural” laundry detergent like Ecos , is great for the environment. It’s biodegradable, safe for septic systems, great for sensitive skin, and is phosphate and petrochemical free.

Ecos laundry detergent is a plant based detergent.

I’ve used this product for approximately a year now, and find it works great at getting clothes clean. For stains, you can rub a small amount of the detergent on the stain, and wash as per washing instructions. It’s great for colors, and safe for all water temperatures.

Price per load is slightly higher than regular detergents, however, with it’s built in fabric softener (soy based), you save money on buying an additional fabric softener.

Ecos suggests using 2 ounces of detergent for a full load of clothes, and less for smaller loads. If you’re using a high efficiency (HE) washer, you only need 2 tablespoons.

I recently purchased a 210 fluid ounce bottle of the Ecos laundry detergent (Ultra Original Formula) at Costco. It’s scented with magnolia and lily, which leaves your clothes smelling fresh.

The best part of this product…I can pronounce all of the ingredients. Now, that’s natural.

And, making it even better…………….it’s made in the USA. Considering that, I give it, two thumbs up. 8)

Soy Candles vs Wax Candles

Just recently, I burned my first soy candle. I was amazed on how the soy candles don’t have any soot, and burn very evenly. The scent of the soy candle remains, as the candle burns.

Finding high quality, soy candles, is not always easy, however, I recently discovered them at my local Hallmark store.

If you like to burn candles, give soy candles
