just heard this one from a co-worker.

when a blister develops, put vicks vapor rub on it and cover it with a bandaid. within a few hours the pain will be gone and will not hurt the next day. she even used this on a child's monkey bar blisters and the child was back out there swinging the next day!

happy walking! :)

36 days and counting!

It`s not something I would have thought of but I`ll give that a try the next time I have a blister.

And don't forget your spray on deoderant for your feet! It works wonders!
