♥ the pedi mate
product review
pedi mate : pedicure wonder with handle
so i've been working at reddot since i graduated from high school, and i remember when this 'pedi-mate' thing came out... it was very popular. we had every second customer asking me for it. and i remember always running out of stock...
i never really understood the hype concerning the pedi mate...
but the other day i saw my dad grab his metal filer (which he uses to grind sharp ends of metal) and use it on the BACK OF HIS HEEL
by metal filer, i mean something like this
so yes, after be traumatised by that particular event, i decided to invest in one of these pedi mate things, for the sake of my dad's feet.
i was working at reddot the following saturday, which was very handy. so when i went to the end with all the pedimates, i noticed they had three different types (i haven't worked at reddot in a while so this surprised me)
there was the handheld pedimate
and then there was the 18pc one
and then there was the one i bought.. which was the one with the handle..
anyways. my parents love it. haha. it's quite handy. and now i understand the craze that was behind it.
it was funny because i remember that we eventually got heaps of stock - and now there's still plenty left over.. and they're all like half the price they were originally selling for, because i think what the people forgot, when giving us stock, was that, you can only have so many pedi mates in one household...
oh, and i know that reddot's version is like the cheaper version of the real thing, but hey it does the same thing. and i see the exact same product at reddot being sold at myer for 6x the cost... how very dodgy.
that is all :)
i haven't caught onto the shamwow craze yet.
