Everyone is going dancing tomorrow night and you would go, too, except that you’ve got these calluses (patches of thick skin that form on the soles of feet) that throb at just the thought of fancy footwork. Here’s how to get rid of them overnight: Cut an onion crosswise into two big slices—use an onion large enough to cover the callused area. Let the two onion slices soak in wine vinegar (red or white) for four hours, then take the onion (one slice for each foot or wherever needed) and apply them to the calluses. Bind them in place with plastic wrap, put on socks and leave them on overnight. The next morning, you should be able to gently scrape away the calluses (the edge of a metal nail file should do the trick). Be sure to wash and rinse your feet thoroughly to get rid of the onion/vinegar smell.
