How To Make Any Shoe More Comfortable

How to break in shoes

We’ve all been there.

You spot the best pair of shoes (ever), perhaps even a little sale going on, and you want them 100%, badly. But they don’t quite fit and the size up is way too big. Then you start asking yourself, is it my sock? Are my feet swollen? How can I morph my body to fit into these? What am I doing wrong to not fit into these shoes? Nothing, my dear. Nothing. Your foot won’t grow to a perfect size 8. And what’s worse is mentally preparing yourself for the dreaded ‘break in’ period. I know those all too well. How many shoes have I purchased only to tell myself I’d just need to ease through the break-in period. Oy. Blisters, limping, hidden bandages, and sore, throbbing feet at the end of the day.

What’s Really Lurking Underneath Your Fingernails, And How To Clean It

December 17, 2016 by Melissa No Comments

I’m sure, after a long day of working with your hands, you notice that dreaded line where your fingernail meets your nail bed.

We’ve all seen it, that one telltale sign that um, maybe it’s time to shower. That line of dirt is a combination of a few things including nail debris, dead skin cells, dirt and dust, and body care products. Further, nails can harbor infection-causing bacteria, especially if you have artificial nails. In general, that grey line is harmless (except if you’ve got that bacteria), it’s just more unsightly than anything else.

Bacteria and fungi lurk everywhere. A nasty infection can land you in the hospital on an IV drip of antibiotics and a scary infection. Make sure your nail salon does the following before ever sitting down on one of those massage chairs.

Flaky Lips Are Disgusting – Here’s How to Never Have Them Again

December 11, 2016 by Melissa No Comments

Whether you’re obsessed with gloss, sheen or matte, lip products look awful when applied to dry lips with dead, flaky skin.

I just thought some peoples’ lipstick just looked better on them than it did on me, until I learned how to do this. Lightbulb moment…anyway.

Most days I opt for nothing more than simple lip balm, however on days where I am on top of my makeup game, I will always exfoliate my lips first. While you can buy lip scrubs, you can also use a pinch of baking soda on your finger, dampened with a few drops of water until a thick paste is formed. Apply this onto your lips in a circular motion and massage in for a minute or so. Rinse well and spit; this will taste salty for just a second. Pat dry, and apply a balm to add moisture. Then, go bananas with your lipstick. Your lips will look magazine-shoot ready.
