A little Southern Hospitality for your feet! | Mint Julep Sweet Tea Foot Soak, Sunday's Best Foot Creme, Honey Lemon Cuticle Salve, & Magnolia Foaming Sugar Scrub



"Feet sweatin’ like a prostitute in church?"  When a company's marketing for foot powder is this cheeky, you know I'm in!  I saw Southern Hospitality's pretty products on Instagram and I'd already found numerous products of intrigue on their site when I received an email from them asking if I'd be interested in sampling a few items.  I was thrilled!  After falling in love with everything I received and then buying MOAR, I'm excited to share these goodies with y'all!

Southern Hospitality was created by a southern podiatrist named Dr. Quinton Yeldell and his business savvy belle Krystel Ford.  Together they created a charming line of natural preventative care products made in small batches using the highest quality ingredients from their Brooklyn, NY-based hub.  Their products are foot-focused but are appropriate for use over the entire body.

It's easy to see why their foot soaks are the top selling product!  Packaged like a giant tea bag, you simply pop it into a tub of 8 cups of warm water and soak your feet for 15-20 minutes.  I never soak my feet, but after one session, I was a convert!  I even got  Mr. Glambunctious (ha!) to give it a try and he loved it!  The Mint Julep Sweet Tea Foot Soak, $5.00 USD, combines peppermint oil and lavender topped off with spearmint.  It really awakens your feet and leaves them feeling calm, cool, and collected long after you're done soaking.  I purchased 4 more Sweet Tea Foot Soaks in a variety of scents (there are 12 in all) that very night!  They are THAT good.  I now really look forward to soaking my feet because it's extremely relaxing after a long day at work.

I'm not being dramatic when I say the Sunday's Best Foot Creme, $8.00 USD for 2 oz, is a miracle worker.  I have sweaty feet.  Let's just put it out there.  I never - EVER - put lotion on my feet because it never absorbs and just feels...wrong.  I was dubious about slathering on a foot creme but this stuff is FANTASTICO.  It's very thick, but once you begin to massage it into the skin, it absorbs quickly.  I like to top mine off with a pair of cotton socks before bed and wake up to ultra soft, completely non-sweaty feet.  I immediately started using this as a hand creme because I loved everything about it, and it soaks right into my hands as well.  The Foot Creme can be used anywhere on the body and comes in 8 scents and 3 sizes.  I love Sunday's Best.  It smells so crisp and clean, like fresh laundry hot out of the dryer.  It's huff-worthy.

The Honey Lemon Cuticle Salve, $6.00 USD for .25 oz, comes in a sweet little slide-top tin that beckons to be put in your purse.  It smells like you're having lemonade and sugar cookies in heaven.  If you have cuticles, you should pick up a tin.  ESPECIALLY if you love to change out your nail polish often.  This cuticle salve hydrates my acetone-stressed cuticles like a champ and leaves them looking mint!

The Magnolia Foaming Sugar Scrub, $7.00 USD for 2 oz, works double duty as a cleanser and an exfoliant, leaving your feet feeling soft and clean and ready for your prettiest pair of summer sandals.  It comes in 8 scents and 2 sizes (2 oz and 12 oz).  Magnolia smells fresh and floral with a touch of sweetness, much like a magnolia bloom.

After one relaxing foot soaking session using all of the above soaks, scrubs n' rubs, I went back to sohofeet.com and ordered 4 different Sweet Tea Foot Soaks, 3 Sunday's Best Foot Cremes, and the Sunday's Best Foot Powder.  If you'll notice, one of the soaks (Coconut!) is missing from the photo above because I used it the same day I received my order!  It was awesome; it smelled just like fresh coconuts and left my feet singing Bob Marley songs.  I bought the Foot Cremes to give as gifts because I loved mine so much.

I plan to keep soaking, exfoliating, moisturizing, and powdering with these incredibly amazing products throughout the year.  The quality of the products, tremendous customer service, and the overall value of everything I've tried has been top notch and I highly recommend Southern Hospitality products.  So much so, that I plan to give them out throughout the year as gifts!

Do I have any suggestions for the fine folks at Southern Hospitality?
1. PLEASE MAKE CANDLES!!  Every scent is just gorgeous and if you guys started making candles, I would be your BFF.  I mean, wouldn't a candle go nicely with the whole "sit back, relax, and soak your tired feet" vibe?  I certainly think so!  ;)
2.  I wish you guys shipped internationally!  I have many wonderful readers from around the globe who I just know would love your products as much as I do!

If you're in the continental US, or have a friend here who can order for you and then ship it over, you can peruse all of their offerings at sohofeet.com!  If not, look for one of my favorite Southern Hospitality products in an international giveaway coming soon! ☺

Do you ever soak your tootsies?  What's your favorite way to treat your hard working feet?

  2. Oh this looks GREAT!!! I scrub my feet when I scrub my body, but that's about it! I don't enjoy painting my toe nails, but I always keep them painted in spring/summer because I don't like my bare toes. That's about it really! This set is so fancy!

  3. You had me at Sweet Tea foot soak! That sounds lovely. I wish they shipped to Canada (as Tracy mentioned as well). We should start a swap group!

  4. That magnolia scrub sounds GOOD! I love the smell of magnolia. I used to scrub my footsies with a peppermint scrub from Rituals, but when I emptied it I never bothered getting a new scrub.

  5. My feet hate me, I tell you. I ignore it all the time, babe. ALL THE TIME! If my feet had a mind of their own, they would kick me in my butt every single day. LOL!

  9. I have never heard that "sweatin' like a prostetute in church" thing, but that is precisely my tootsies. I have never heard of Southern Hospitality but I have to give you a big "THANK YOU" for introducing me to it. It seriously sounds like the line carries all things necessary to my feet-life. I love taking good care of my feet, maybe because I have to or they are the strangest things to walk the earth? So I got used to it? I don't know. Either way.. I am absolutely heading over to their website to see what happens. Gahd you are spending all my money K......
    PS; Love your candle suggestion. I am so bummed when there is amazingly scented product and no candle for me to sniff! So I'll second that suggestion, even if I haven't smelt them yet. TRUST.


    Much Love,
    -Stepanka (love that so much. Also love saying it in a heavy Russian accent like Red from OITNB)

  11. OH MY GEE OH ESS ACHE I don't think it is. Awkward. Can be blame it on my duo-language upbringing? (Really though that's not even a good excuse)

  12. The foot soaks sound so lovely! I've only done a foot soak once but I really liked it. The prices are really nice and affordable too. I like supporting homemade xx

  13. LOL I don't sweat profusely anywhere else but my dumb feet - they need this stuff! I'm most interested in the soaks and cremes. We could use some Southern Hospitality up here in Canada, yes!

  14. It is great, Sunny! Everything works perfectly and smells SO good. I prefer my toe nails painted, too, ESPECIALLY in the spring and summer!

  15. LOL! Yes, the Sweet Tea Foot Soaks are amazing! I've now sampled a bunch of different scents and they were all amazing. Oh and Southern Hospitality said they are considering international shipping in time for the holidays! And yes to the swap group! I was salivating over Annabelle Twist-Ups,Lise Watier, and L'Oreal Micellar Water, lol! We don't have any of that here!

  16. If you love the scent of magnolia, you would LURVE this scrub. Hopefully they will begin international shipping for the holidays b/c everything is seriously A+ quality and I think everything would sell like hotcakes! :)

  17. Ha ha! I am typically a foot ignorer myself, but these products really changed my mind. I cannot say enough positives about the foot soaks. They are more relaxing than a glass of wine!

  18. You really should try some of their stuff, Corinne! The foot soaks are from heaven and the foot creme is seriously amazing, both for the feet and your hands. I've already hit pan!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. YES! That is exactly what my hubs and I have started doing! It's a really relaxing ritual and our feet feel so much better afterwards. The soaks are AMAZING. One of my favorite discoveries this year!

  20. Thank you, Jules!! :) You really should give them a try. Everything is beyond fantastic and the pricing is unbeatable!

  21. Ha ha! It is! BOOM!

    Smelt may refer to:

    Smelts, a number of small fishes:
    Smelt, past tense and past participle of smell

  22. Ha ha! You are so adorably delightful! Yes, I seriously cannot recommend EVERYTHANGS from this line. If you only try one thing, make it a foot soak. It is insanely relaxing. You need to stock up for tax season next year! <3

  23. Me too, Coco! I loved everything I tried from them and was immediately thinking about who's birthdays were coming up so I could order some goodies as gifts! The foot soaks and the foot creme is particularly incredible! XOXO

  24. Hey Lizarooni! Your comment cracked me up! I'm the same way! I do not sweat at all except for my feet!? the nice people at Southern Hospitality said they are working on international shipping for the holidays, so fingers (and toes, lol) crossed! Until then, I do know somebody in the states should you wish to order anything...wink wink! ;)
