A Serious Case Of Neglect...

sponsored post for Scholl

It was never my intention to be neglectful, honestly it wasn't.  It's not like I planned it or anything, it just kinda...well....kinda 'happened'.

In my defence though things do get crazy busy around here........with five kids I mean seriously, there is never a dull moment!!

There's the grocery shopping to be done....

School pick ups to remember (and if it is going to rain then you can bet that it will do so at 3.00pm!!).....

The garden to maintain...

Exercise to fit in.....

And sometimes there's even somewhere fancy to go.... (okay so it is rare but hey!)....

And believe me, that's not even the half of it!!  Add to that soccer games, netball training, art lessons, trips to the library,  household chores....

I never meant to neglect my feet, honestly I didn't.....but you can see now how it happened right? I mean there just aren't enough hours in the day.....

Or so I thought until recently when the lovely people at Scholl sent me some foot care products to trial.  

The first product that I tried was the Eulactol Heel Balm Gold.  This balm is to be used for dry,  cracked heels...and after a summer of wearing thongs and neglecting my feet my heels were in dire need of this.....I'll spare you the photo but you get the idea right....!!

Quick and easy to apply all I had to do was rub the balm into my heels twice a day. The balm was odour free and non greasy.  I put it on at night just before putting my bed socks on and jumping into bed (romantic hey!!) and again each morning after I got home from dropping the girls to school and swiftly returned to my bed socks and slippers...(don't judge me .... it was cold and rainy and daytime slippers were essential!!!)

After a few days I actually started to notice that my heels were not as rough and after 7-10 days I noticed a huge improvement.....I even asked hubby for a second opinion and he was surprised by the difference.

The second product that I was sent to trial was the Scholl Blister Shield Plasters. The pack contains 3 large and 2 small plasters.  Now these were instantly snapped up by Miss 15 as soon as they arrived as she has been complaining that her soccer boots were giving her blisters (and quite frankly her complaints were falling upon deaf ears...seriously do you know how many complaints come my way each day...it gets a bit hard to action them all!!!)

Thankfully the blister shields have provided great relief to Miss 15 and as she is our star midfielder (haha biased  much!!)  we need her able to keep running all game, every game...!!  I will definitely be adding these to my next shopping list.

I've now got to admit that after all that these poor old feet go through each day in raising five children the least I can do is show them a little TLC and these Scholl products have made that an easy task!

This is one case of neglect that has definitely been turned around for good!
