It's not that I've had nothing to say. Quite the contrary. I have been keeping photos and screenshots and notes in my phone to remind me of topics that I want to discuss with you, but I have just not enough time in the day to get it down on screen.
The reason why I am taking the time to get this one particular topic out to you guys is because I have found a product that has literally changed my life.
Before I get into it, we need an understanding that you will not judge me by what I type from this moment going forward.
Agreed? Agreed.
For years, I have been guilty of using dryer sheets in my ballet flats in an effort to keep them fresh and clean smelling, especially in the summer months. I don't mean while they are in my room overnight. I mean before I put them on for the day, I put one dryer sheet in each of my shoes before I put my bare feet in them.
I know, I know. I should be wearing socks, or nylons, or Peds. Frankly, I just don't like the look or feel in ballet flats.
About a month ago, I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw a sponsored ad for Gekks. The product is a sock, of sorts, that you stick into your shoe so when you slip your bare foot in, it provides a layer between your the sole of your foot and the shoe itself. There are a few adhesive pads that you stick, like a sticker, to the sole and heel of your shoe, and there is a little flap that your toes actually go into just like a sock.
I purchased two pairs just to try it out and see how I like them. It took a little while for my order to be delivered, but it was well worth the wait. This product legit changed my life. Not only do I save money on dryer sheets, but I don't have to worry about it showing as I walk or slipping out. I can take off my shoes without needing to hide the fact that there's something hidden inside. Not to mention, my shoes last far longer than they have in the past. There's no need to replace them as often because they're not as...gross.
And, my shoes do not smell. At all. My feet do not smell. At all. I'm not exactly sure what fabric the product is made from, but it just takes that sweaty foot smell and makes it smell like new shoes.
They are just magical! So magical, in fact, that after just a couple days of using them, I ordered three more pairs and sent recommendations to friends about Gekks.
For the record, I am not a paid spokeswoman for Gekks. I am just a very satisfied, and, truthfully, surprised customer.
So, tell me...what product has changed your life?
