In the spring and summer I am constantly in flip flops. There’s always a pair by the front door that I can slip on in a hurry so I can accompany my little ones to the park or jet to the grocery store. I know there’s no support in them, but it’s hard to find casual summer shoes that are fashionable and offer proper support for your feet. To make matters worse, my cats like to chew on the flat, foamy soles. Gross, right? In the past I’ve had knee pain due to something they call “over pronation.” What that means is, in my case, I should be wearing orthotic inserts in all of my shoes all... (Read More ...)

I love this lip balm –... (Read More ...)
When the seasons change and the weather turns cold, rainy, snowy and WINTERISH…my shoe selection changes (because I am forced to pack away my flip flops). I live in my boots! They have to not only be stylish, but durable & WARM! So, when I had the opportunity to review a pair of “McKenna” Style Boots (“CITY” line) from BOGS, I was curious if they would meet my test of quality, of trendiness and if they would bring my feet the PURE JOY necessary to get me through the next few months of cold rough winter weather.
