  • Attention all! I want to be completely transparent with you: I may earn commissions from qualifying purchases of the products I mention, whether as an Amazon Associate or through my affiliations with other trusted brands in the Beauty and Grooming industry. My passion lies in discovering new products, and when I discover something remarkable, I’m eager to share my experience and results with you. If a product has been gifted to me, I’ll always disclose that information. Rest assured, my opinions and insights stem from over 20 years of hands-on experience in the Beauty business, making them reliable and trustworthy. Now, you might wonder why I don’t discuss products I dislike. Well, I firmly believe in focusing on the positive and highlighting products that truly shine. Everyone’s preferences are unique, and what may not work for me could be the perfect fit for someone else. So, rather than deter you from potentially great products, I prefer to guide you towards finding the perfect solution for your specific needs.


I woke up, and my foot looked AT LEAST 20 years younger. Thats right, 20 YEARS YOUNGER. Have I been depriving them of the miracle that is #sheabutter just because I have an allergic disdain mentally for wearing socks to bed? Have I just become a Shea Butter and sock-to-bed combo kinda fella?


More importantly, have I just unlocked the answer to the ultimate "Sheet Feet"?*


*Sheet Feet: When your feet make zero noise as they enter the sheets chat upon climbing into bed for a restful nights slumber becasue they are smooth like buttah, SHEA BUTTAH!


If you or your mattress mate can hear your feet - you need help in the moisturizing department and fast! Thanks to my sock-to-bed-sacrifice for all of you reading this (doing the Lords work here really) I have found the solution.


Unrefined, 100% Organic and #NaturalAfricanSheaButter. My personal favorite is the #EuGenia (means the origin of goodness) Organic and Natural Shea Butter thats Mother/Daughter owned (I have a particular scent of theirs that I purchased off of #QVC that I cannot recall and at first I was like, "Hmmm do I like this scent"? Now, I cant get enough of it - its wildly intoxicating. I cannot find it on their website, and I hope that it still exists somewhere out there because it is amazing)!


I scooped out the Shea Butter and generously - I MEAN GENEROUSLY applied it to my foot up to my ankle. Massaging it into my heels, nails, in between my toes, and onto the sides of my hooves. Then terror set in. I cannot sleep with socks on, but my feet are so buttered up I could put #BigTex from the Texas State Fair to shame. I had to put on the socks. There was no other option. I socked up, prayed for sleep, and hoped that the socks would remain on my feet at least long enough for the Shea Butter to go to work and do its thang.


Today, as I sit here typing with feet so youthful, moisturized and dare I say younger looking I may of embarked upon a new journey in this life of becoming a sock sleeper ONLY on those nights of #selfcare for my footsies which I think will become a once a week ritual. My feet feel fabulous, and renewed - a perfect treat for the hard-working road warriors thats carry me through this life.


Ill leave you with some of the wonders of Shea Butter:

  • Deeply Moisturizing

  • #Anti-Inflammatory

  • Anti-Infective

  • Promotes Skin Cell Regeneration

  • Rich in Omega-6, Vitamin E & A

  • Contains Oleic, Stearic, Palmitic, and Linolenic Acids to nourish the skin and prevent drying

  • Cinderella Feet


Check out the wonders of Shea Butter for yourself, see if its right for you, and remember Im a beautician not a magician or a Doctor so when in doubt - seek medical advise from a licensed medical professional.
