Don’t just put your feet up for a rest, soak them too! Here’s a foot health tip for you today. Foot soaks can help soften, soothe, refresh, and clean your feet by using just a few simple household ingredients. In a large bowl, combine one liter of hot, but not boiling water, with half a liter of cold water so the temperature is balanced. Add in approximately 35 grams (2 tablespoons) of salt, 30 milliliters (2 tablespoons) of white vinegar, and 30 milliliters (2 tablespoons) of olive oil, which moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Stir well and then soak your feet in this mixture for approximately twenty minutes, which allows the skin on your feet to fully absorb the mixture. This will help treat dryness, cracks, thick calluses, odor, and fungal infection, as well as promote relaxation and stress relief especially after a long day.

“Well… that’s unsettling. My brand-new kitchen counters are granite.”
Then you might want to use a Geiger counter to test them.
“Well, for the enormous price I paid for those slabs, they should be doing something impressive. I thought it would be ‘stain resistance,’ not ‘nuclear fission.’”
