At the end of the day, taking off your heels can have your feet looking like you have just returned from battle! Skin tears, cuts, pain and other wounds become more apparent as soon as feet have been released from their encasing. Nevertheless, using gel in-soles made by companies such as Dr. Scholls can do wonders to alleviate some common problems.
Here are just a few issues gel insoles can resolve:
Pressure off your foot
Toe scrunching
Sliding forward in shoes
Since gel insoles can be transferred from one pair of heels to another it is easy to make all your shoes more comfy. However, how long will these good heel vibes last? It is recommended to replace gel insoles when they damage or it has been six months.

In these modern times technology is all around us in order to make life easier and smoother. Often times, especially here in the states and our hometown Los Angeles we literally live in our cars. To get anywhere we need them and when weather is an issue we are glad to have wheels.
Nevertheless, as nice as zipping around town on fours is, having a phone seems to be the pinnacle of life. It’s the mode to have instant communication with friends or family, direction mapper, selfie taker, data analyst, document creator and list goes on and on. However, these two awesome inventions can prove to be deadly when combined.
Dun… Dun…. Dun! Well, it will only be a scary situation if you allow it to be. What some ladies and gentlemen are not aware of is that they are causing water damage to their phones while in their cars. How is this happening?
Have you ever gone through a drive thru and ordered a drink and put said drink in a cup holder? Most of us have its what the holder was designed to do. Moreover, once that drink has been finished you may toss it and place your phone in the very spot it the drink had been located. The leftover condensation from the drink can seep inside through the charger port and wreak havoc.
It is like taking your phone and dropping it in its own little pool. Keep your phone safe by waiting for your cup holder to be dry or use napkins to speed up the process. You may also consider finding a different spot in your ride for your phone to chill at while you man the controls. Therefore, be careful with how you treat your phone in your auto and live to take another selfie.

Beauty Answer: This is a very wise question to ask because it involves making sure that our biggest organ on our body remains well-protected… our skin. More and more organic and “healthy” beauty products are on the rise because of recent discoveries of harmful ingredients in major products. Nevertheless, never assume that just because a product totes itself as being safe that it really is; always do your research before purchasing.
With that said not all mineral makeup products are good for you. There are some that contain a powdered form of titanium dioxide which can be quite dangerous to the body if inhaled. Now when titanium dioxide is in a cream based formed it is much safer because the solid form helps to prevent it from being inhaled. However, when titanium dioxide is inhaled as a powder the effects can be compared to those exposed to asbestos. Yikes!
Many exposed to asbestos for a short period of time are normally okay. Nevertheless, frequent exposure and after some time usually decades later the harmful effects become apparent and some even develop lung cancer. Now let’s that apply that to the using of mineral products with unsafe ingredients. A little exposure may not harm you, but most women apply makeup daily and reapply throughout the day. That is a lot of exposure which could do a lot of damage down the road. So then, always read the ingredients list carefully so that no matter what type of makeup you are purchasing you are protecting yourself and your health.

As much as we love ourselves most women would like to change one or two things in regards to their appearance. As the saying goes we all want what we can’t have. Ever noticed that a woman with a beautiful physique may want smaller hips or she may have a great facial bone structure yet desires a softer look. No matter what beauty each of us possess still a small change here and there could be nice.
Today we are going to focus on the lips, whether you want them fuller or thinner this post will help get you there. To perform this beauty feat all you will need is a lip pencil aka liner. Nevertheless, when you doing this you never want to go too far or overboard otherwise the ending result will look unnatural. The reason why this trick works so well is because lip pencils allow you to cleanly redefine your lips in a subtle manner.
Create Fullness: Use the lip liner to trace and outline your lips as normal, but create the line a slightly outside your natural lip line. Doing so will give you a larger area to fill making your lips look instantly bigger.
Thin the Pout: Outline your lips using the lip pencil, but instead of following your mouth’s natural outline trace just on the inside. This will give the appearance that a small amount of lip has done a poof magic trick.

Why exactly is it important to know and understand the undertone of your skin? Being aware of what category you fall under will help you not only beauty wise, but also when choosing various fashions. Discovering whether you are a warm, cool or neutral undertone will help you purchase cosmetics and couture that truly suit you. This is because you will know what colors are appropriate for your skin type enabling you to truly look your best. Imagine your skin looking more radiant and your eyes more dazzling and all because it is like everything you are wearing was specifically as well as specially made for you.
If seeing is believing or you just happen to be more of a visual person in general there is a simple test that you can perform in order to discover your skin’s undertone. All you need to do is locate two pieces of jewelry, one being gold and the other silver. You will use these accessories to help give yourself a proper assessment of your skin.
To perform the jewelry test first try on your gold jewelry and take note of your skin.
Next, do the same with your silver jewelry remaining observant of how your skin looks.
Once both the gold and silver has been worn ask yourself the following questions and be as honest as possible: Which color of jewelry complimented my skin the most? Did I look better wearing gold or silver? If you answered gold then you possess a warm undertone, but if silver made you resemble a beauty queen then you a cool lady.
Now what happens if you looked great in silver and gold? Although very rare, this indicates that you have a neutral undertone which means the sky is kind of the limit. You have a much larger range of tints and shades that will look amazing on you. If you are not quite sure what undertone you are after performing the jewelry test you might benefit from the paper test. Lastly, at the outset of this post we mentioned that knowing your undertone will help you know which colors look best on you. Check out this quick post which reveals colors you are going to want to wear!

Summer is the time when the pedicure as well as sandal reigns supreme. However, nothing can kill a look faster than a pair of dry, callous and cracked feet. During the season dry feet may occur due to the area you live in, lots of walking or the heat of the day is literally sucking out any moisture. Nevertheless, showing your feet a little attention and love can get them looking fabulous!
Next time you notice a change in the condition of your feet for the worse try giving them a good soak or “bath.” Mix one cup of honey in a gallon of water and allow your feet to hang out there for fifteen minutes. Doing this treatment will help to bring back needed moisture into your skin. Honey is actually a natural antiseptic or purifying treatment that makes it one of the safest ingredients around to be used in beauty procedures.
