Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend


Some of my girlfriends know a little over 2 years ago, while giving myself a pedicure and using that awful callus cutter, I cut myself. BAD. I won't go into detail, but let's just say a whole layer of skin on the back of my foot.... GONE.
That being said, obviously that awful foot razor was thrown out as soon as I could walk to the garbage can. I needed a new tool that would make my feet as smooth as a baby's bottom but wouldn't put me in the hospital.
I was certainly not going to give up wearing heels, toting around the city in slippers is not an option. I started my search on finding the best foot buffer out there. I bought pumice stones, files, callus stones, but nothing seemed to make my feet as soft as I wanted to.
I started to read some reviews in my Allure Magazine (P.S. I believe every woman should have a lifetime subscription to this magazine) and they had mentioned Diamancel Foot Files from Bliss.
I quickly went online to see what it was going to cost me. OMG, $50 for one foot file? NO WAY. NO WAY. There was no way I was spending that much money on a foot file. This thing must be made of Diamonds or something. Touche! But they are! They actually use diamond chips in these foot files. Well, that explains the steep price.
So, one day, after a few glasses of wine, I went online, took a deep breath, and ordering the file, BUT, I didn't just order 1, no, that would be too practical. I ordered 3. I went all the way. The total price for all 3 was $115, but I actually saved $20 by ordering them together in a pack. Great! $20, that's almost a weekly metrocard purchase.
Now I know alot of people think I'm crazy for spending $115 on foot files???? Hear me out.
The pack comes with #11, The Tough Buffer (MY FAVE), #20 The Conquerer, and #10, The Classic Big Buffer. Talk about a baby's bottom, my feet look so purdy!

In the end, I will have to admit, it was the best $115 I have ever spent. These files truly live up to their reputation. They are amazing. My feet have never looked better.
I'm saving money in the end because I am not going out for as many pedicures. I can do it right at home!
I recommend all 3 files, but I must warn you. If you use them, you will NEVER be able to go back to other foot files.

I remain yours,
