So as I was rummaging through my lovely sock drawer filled with Smartwool socks,Fox River socks and many other fine brands...I'm thinking to myself what should my next sock blog be about?...Hmmm...Ding! There goes that little light in my fried brain! Why not write a blog about unmatched socks or thrifty ideas on what to do with those unmatched pairs!
Everybody has a drawer full of mismatched, holey, used or stressed socks! LOL So I decided to spend some time researching and thinking of ideas on what to do with these mismatched misfits. Now working into my 3rd year here at Amazing Socks/Sock Company, I have grown an extreme love for socks. As some of you may have read past blogs of mine, I'm sure you've then caught on to my undying love for Smartwool Socks and how I now own about 80 pairs of socks in total. . . A bit of a fetish if you will lol
So idealistically merino wool socks are my favorite, which means safe to say a pet peeve of mine would be to lose one single sock from my noticeably bright colored pair of Smartwool Hiking socks.
( Yes I love socks that stand out!)
So what to do with that lonely single sock may you ask?? Why find another lonely single sock and introduce them of course! Well not really but, in a cartoon script that may jive well. lol I have come across so many crazy yet, fun ideas for any mismatched socks. So with a goal to find unique and unconventional uses for socks, I have compiled a list of a few I thought were great.
Unconventional Usage#1: Eye Makeup Remover
Yep! You read correctly! HA HA!Being that I am a huge fan of smokey eye shadows and thick eyeliner, what better way to remove day old makeup off your eyes?? I've managed to make a great pair of Thorlo socks "breakup" by ripping one sock on a zipper.( Don't ask!) So searching for a cotton ball to clean my peepers but, ending up with an empty bag in cosmetic drawer I was left with no other choice. I flipped my remaining clean Thorlo sock inside out, dabbed it in my makeup remover and wiped away! WOW! Crazy as it sounds but, the soft acrylic was gentle and perfect for my ultra sensitive eyeballs.
Unconventional Usage# 2: Foot Moisturizer
HA! No your socks don't nurture your dry cracked heels into soft moisturized tootsies but, a good lotion does! Now here's the full concept behind a great pedicure at home. First slather on a good amount of lotion, one with a scent you enjoy. Next wrap your tootsies completely in saran wrap and slip on any two misfit socks. Keep your feet wrapped for about a half hour and TAH Dah! Oh and before I forget to mention ..Please don't go walking around the house while your feet are wrapped!!Slippery is all I'm going to mention!
Unconventional Usage#3: Furniture Duster
Ahhhh! I live by this usage! Loveeee it! For this I prefer merino wool socks with thick terry looping or thick acrylic running socks. Just flip the sock inside out , slip your hand in, spray some furniture polish and get into all those nooks and crannies. Think about that one piece of furniture with the articulate wood carvings that could never be fully dust free because the average "duster on a stick" wouldn't fit. Yep....Exactly! Need I say more??
