Friday Fun Finds!

It's Friday again. Time for another installment of Friday Fun Finds!


Since the last few Friday Fun Finds have been rather "big ticket" items, I thought I would share an every day I-can-afford-this-between-paydays item.

Ever get those cracks under your toes or on your hands from dry skin or even a paper cut? The burn and burn and they are so hard to heal because they keep getting irritated. Am I right?

Well, I always get a crack under my toes on my damaged foot. The tendons on the top of my foot that normally hold your toes up were destroyed during my car accident so my toes curl under. When I pull them up to try and sit straight so I can wear shoes it tends to tear the scar tissue. Since it's in a very precarious place I can't ever get it to heal. I put an antibiotic ointment with pain relief on it all the time but it's not the greatest.

So the other day I was complaining about it to my mom and being full of wisdom she told me I should use a liquid bandage on it. I agreed that it would be the best course to get it healed but told her I was too much of a baby to use it. I don't know if you have ever used it before but it burns like you dipped your tender wound in a lake of fire and brimstone!!

She told me to grow up.

So I did. I went to the drugstore to invest in the liquid fire. It must have been my lucky day because I found this instead.

Not only is it store brand so it cost UNDER $5, but it has a pain reliever!!

I rushed home, painted it on, and I've had happy feet ever since.

I have also used it on my hang nails (it doesn't smell nearly as strong as other brands), an in-grown toe nail (for the pain relieving properties), and the bottom of my foot (it says to use it to prevent callouses).

I've painted it under my toe several times since I've bought it but I've still used it less than the ointment I was using. It works great and relieving the pain AND it's protecting it so well that I can see the sore is getting better.

Since this is the store brand, I assume you can only get this particular version at Walgreen's. But Walgreen's are almost everywhere so I doubt it will be too hard to track down. If so, you can always buy it online.

P.S. Normally I hope to get these posted early Friday morning but work preoccupied me today. Sorry I'm late. Hopefully sharing a really pocket friendly find will help you forgive me.
