<span style="color: #e69138;">Here we are in November (YES! We do still wish we were lounging poolside!!!). All the humidity which moisturized our skin during the summer has left the air, the temperatures have fallen so we're starting to use the heat intermittently and what's happening with our skin? You got it! Our skin is cracking like the dry lake bed in the desert!!! So what do we do to nourish our largest organ, especially that on our feet which tends to be the most neglected area anyway? Since the focus here is all from the ankle down, we asked some readers to provide their best ideas on winter foot care and here's what you suggested:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">1) Make sure you dry your feet well when you get out of the shower. It protects against pesky fungus problems; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">2) </span><span style="color: #e69138;">Regardless to season, m</span><span style="color: #e69138;">oisturize everyday for softness. THIS helps keep feet touchably, kissably soft. Choosing the best moisturizer can be a challenge, however, Trader Joe's (which has expanded in recent years to most major metropolitan areas) makes a moisturizing cream that is excellent for any area of your body and it's INEXPENSIVE ($3.99/16 oz.);</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">3) Change your knee-his, stockings and socks regularly;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">4) Take supplements such as biotin (a b-complex vitamin) to help your nails grow. It benefits your hair as well;</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">5) As we age, our nails can develop vertical ridges. If they're deep enough, they can prohibit nail polish from applying smoothly. Combat this issue by applying a ridge filler before applying nail lacquer and/ or you can buff your nails. Buffing provides not only smoothness but also a beautiful sheen you may not want to cover.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">6) Keep your nails from drying by using non-acetone nail polish remover;</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">7) Wear the correct shoe size! We know it's tempting to squeeze your feet into a sexy stiletto that's too small when they're well-priced and on sale, but you could be asking for trouble down the road. Shoes that are too small, especially those that pinch our toes together, can force the nail to turn into the surrounding skin and create an in-grown toe nail. This can cause swelling and much pain;</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">8) Cover your feet in public. Fungi and bacteria are rampant in environments such as the pool and shower areas at the gym. Always wear water and/ or shower shoes at the gym to avoid exposing yourself to fungal infections which are difficult to treat and eliminate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">9) Check your nails for melanoma. As they are typically black, brown or purple, these can be easily mistaken for bruises but they tend to extend into the cuticle and not just affect the nail; bruises are often blue with a reddish hue and involve the nail only. If you always wear dark polish, inspect your nails when you change your nail color at the salon. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e69138;">Here's to maintaining our beautiful feet!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">The trends in nail color and design span the gamut for Fall 2015. Shades range from pale champagne and classic nudes to traditional deep berries; designs range from strongly color-blocked nails and full-on holiday scenes to whimsical dots on a pale base color. Indeed, there's very little that isn't shown on a runway or seen from a salon. Take a peek......then paint your pleasure!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px; text-align: justify;">WHY is it that each season heralds new trends almost as if it has no relation to the season which just preceded it? Why is the new fashion focus touted almost as if it is not a continuing evolution of style? And why do we, the purchasing public, not realize that we can successfully transition from one season to the next without breaking our collective piggy banks?!?!? That said, I've identified some major trends, complete with stylish specimen, from Spring/Summer 2015 that will keep your feet in vogue well into Fall/Winter season. There are examples from both seasons, so if you missed summer's offerings- and can't find a good pair at a late sale- you'll know for what you're looking later this month. Take a peek:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">It's the time of year when I like to revisit the best of the best; the creme de la creme of spring/summer shoes that previewed back in the fall and are flowing onto the shelves as I type. I understand the necessity to show them well in advance; but, the real timing relevance is NOW, what slides onto our feet this season!!! And this time, the focus is not just the ones that were hot and happening on the runways, but also those fanciful adaptations that provide fun fashion and economic ease.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">First, let's talk trends. This spring/summer season introduces a profusion of color, in particular, ORANGE!!! So, this feature will start there, but don't get it twisted. That is by no means the end! Here are several reasons to get your feet in tip top shape:</span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: small;">Not as bad as they were; not as good as they're going to get. Truthfully, everything looks better with a little coverage. Although, if the picture were focused more tightly on my toes, you would see that my big toenails now have "texture." That is to say, they have valleys and hills that are very apparent in person. They are not flat and smooth as they kind of seem in this image, and they will be like this for a long time to come. And yes, I polished my nails myself this time. Indeed, I was speaking to a friend earlier this evening who is recovering from an infection she acquired at the nail salon. She, too, lost a nail from her big toe. Her pearls of wisdom: She will never go to a nail salon again without her own instruments which she has sterilized personally. Either that or she will do her mani/pedi herself. Nonetheless, a little polish and T!NTALIZE® concealer never hurt no one!!!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">So here's what happened. I, because I have very long fingers, am of the impression that my hands look best with long nails. I don't think it takes a genius to agree with me. My natural nails will never grow above the tip of my finger, let alone produce ten long nails of the same length. I also happen to prefer press-on nails to acrylics because they look infinitely more natural (that's my freshly done hand in the first picture). For the past year, I have pretty much kept my natural nails covered. I would soak the press-ons off a couple of hours before my nail appointment-- sometimes a half-hour -- and go apply a new set. Now here's where the problem really began. On the box, it cautions you to remove them 7-10 days after application. I, however, would get just a tad lazy, and would keep them on 2-3 weeks. Again, I had told my nail tech that I felt I should have gaps between applications so that my natural nails could breathe. She said, "WHY???? Your hands are so beautiful with them. Keep them on." And I did. Ultimately, I developed a fungus under each nail (it's clearly visible under my right index finger); my left pinky nail cracked all the way across from the trauma of being covered; my right middle finger has always had a lengthwise crack, and it was exacerbated by the lack of oxygen; and all ten nails were extremely weak and thin. Once my big toenails detached, though, I decided it was time to deal with the health of all nails on both feet and hands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">This is going to be a long road to recovery. Will I throw on a set of nails for a couple of days to attend an event or go to a party??? ABSOLUTELY!!! Just as I'm going to paint my nailbed when the time comes. But these are temporary measures to soothe my vain ego on occasion; and in the interim, the only covering on my nails will be Nailtiques and a fungicide. Long-term, my nails will no longer bare the brunt of my desire to look good. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">FEBRUARY 4, 2014</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">Those are beautiful feet in the picture from December 25th, aren't they? Little did I know that underneath that beauty was a vey ugly situation just waiting to come to light.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">A couple of years ago I got an infection from a salon pedicure. The pain and swelling subsided with the use of an antibiotic ointment; however, on either side of both big toes, there was a thin strip of nail that had detached from the nailbed. I didn't understand that that meant there was still an active infection or fungus. Early last year, I did ask my doctor if there were an issue with which I needed to be concerned, and she said no; the nail seemed to be healthy. It didn't appear to be spreading, so I left it alone thinking that it would ultimately heal itself. Fast forward to the summer of 2013. I, like many women, want my toes to be perfect in the sandal months, so I asked my nail tech to put acrylic on my big toes to keep them from breaking and maintain a perfect square. My natural nails are thin, and crack easily, and that just simply doesn't work when you want to sport strappy stilettos. What my tech didn't tell me was that I needed to be more concerned with my nail health, that I needed to forego the acrylic and make sure that any infection or fungus was eliminated first. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">That warning didn't happen, and a couple of months after the acrylic was applied, I began to notice very strange things with my left toe. One time when I went to get a fill, there was actually a discernible bubble under my nail. When I inquired about the origin of it, she just said she didn't know what the problem was and proceeded to complete the fill. Shortly after that, summer was over, so I decided to let the acrylic grow out so my nails could breathe, and I stopped getting fills. A few weeks after that, my left toenail broke very low, lower than half way down, and there was what looked like a bruise underneath. But again my nail tech said to cover it with acrylic, and I chose to go along with that program so that the break wouldn't rip across. That was a bad decision. A month or so later, I noticed that my left toenail had almost completely detached from the nail bed. A week after that, it ripped off. I then removed my nail polish, and checked my right big toenail, and it, too, had detached. That ugly situation is what is shown in the picture from the morning of February 4, 2014. The night of February 4, 2014, I decided to file off the remaining acrylic on both big toes, and my right big toenail broke half way down. I then removed it down to the point where it was actually attached, close to the cuticle. Now they're twins in ugliness! OMG!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">I'm sharing this in the hopes that you will avoid my huge error. I want to place some responsibility with my nail tech (and I DO caution you to do your research and buy your own nail implements when it comes to the person that services your feet); however, the buck stops here. They're my toes, and I should have taken the issues I saw more seriously. I'm blessed that it's February not June, and wearing closed-toed shoes at the moment works well. But rest assured, if it comes down to it and I must show my feet (the bedroom comes to mind), I'll be polishing some nailbed!!!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all know that our feet take the most abuse of any body part. They serve us well by providing balance, without them, no one would be able to stand; they propel us forward efficiently such that we can walk; they endure being squeezed into shoes that force them to conform to an odd shape. And yet, they frequently receive the least TLC, and can look the worst of any body part. So, my focus is to offer some easy tips to keep your feet looking kissable. After all, isn't the goal to be adored from head to toe?</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Here are my top 5 tips for pretty feet:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">1) Apply a moisturizer DAILY. I typically do this as soon as I get out of the shower, and before my skins dries to a crackly crunch to help seal in moisture;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">2) Ladies, BUY the nail color that you choose for your toes when you get your pedicure. Somehow or other, the majority of us do not spring for gel polish on our toes, and the color gets chipped after a week or so, leaving these digits looking woefully neglected. However, if you own your nail polish, you can perform the necessary touch ups to keep them in tip top, kissable shape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">3) Experience the glory of a foot massage. No! I did not say get a body massage where they give your feet five minutes of attention, and the rest of you gets the other 45. I said make an appointment at your local massage establishment where their sole focus is your feet, and they massage them-- and you-- into a state of ecstasy!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">4) Attend to your foot woes. If you have hammer toes, bunions, calluses, fungus issues, etc., please do yourself as a whole-- and your feet, specifically-- a favor, and handle those problems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">5) Purchase a product such as T!NTALIZE® concealer for feet to cover unattractive blemishes and even the skin tone on your feet. For full product information, go to www.tintalize.com.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">As summer hastens its march into fall, we follow the transition of pedicure colors from summer's powder blues, fuschia pinks and coral oranges to fall's navy blues and teals, purples, blood reds and burnt oranges. Here's a sampling of the MUST HAVE shades of the season. HAPPY COLOURING!!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">HOW TO WEAR FLIP FLOPS SAFELY</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;">It's the time of year when we grab the easiest to put on, the most readily available, and </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">frequently, the most comfortable footwear we can find, and they're known as flip flops. However, there are some things to take into consideration, so I consulted the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) for their insight. And because of their popularity, I thought they deserved a front page mention. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DO</b> shop for a flip-flop made of high quality, soft leather. Leather minimizes the potential for blisters and other types of irritation.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DO </b>gently bend the flip-flop from end to end, ensuring it bends at the ball of the foot. Shoes of any kind should never fold in half.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DO</b> make sure that your foot does not hang off the edge of the flip-flop.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DO</b> wear a sturdy pair of flip-flops when walking around a public pool, at the beach, in hotel rooms, and in locker room areas. Walking barefoot can expose foot soles to plantar warts and athlete's foot.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DON'T</b> re-wear flip-flops year after year. Inspect older pairs for wear. If they show signs of severe wear, discard them.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DON'T</b> ignore irritation between toes where the toe thong fits. This can lead to blisters and possible infections.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DON'T</b> wear flip-flops while walking long distances. Even the sturdiest flip-flops offer little in terms of shock absorption and arch support.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DON'T</b> do yard work while wearing flip-flops. Always wear a shoe that fully protects feet when doing outside activities such as mowing the lawn or using weed eater.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>DON'T</b> play sports in flip-flops. This practice can lead to twisting of the foot or ankle, as well as sprains and breaks.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Please check our product page for specific recommendations for flip-flops. I have specifically sourced footwear that offers shock absorption and arch support, and some are even stylish!!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">EVERYONE!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">It's been a long time. So, I'm welcoming myself and you back to the fun of the feet. I thought I'd start afresh with a story of my feet. In turn I hope to inspire you to send stories and pictures of yours. This is, after all, a forum where we can chat about our feet openly; share triumphs, horror stories, great products, anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">MY STORY</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">So there I was, it was Memorial Day weekend, and I was looking FINE!!! I was at the San Diego jazz festival to listen to Jesse J, Michael Lington, Jonathan Fritzen, Nick Colionne, BWB (Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum and Rick Braun), Will Downing, Brian McKnight, and Jeffrey Osborne featuring Euge Groove-- AMAZING LINEUP!!! I had on some Calvin Klein wedge thongs, and life was good. I'd worn them a couple of times prior and never had a problem, so I felt very comfortable strutting around the grounds, bobbing to the music, sipping on a little libation!!! About an hour into my stroll, I started to feel a twinge that I'd not felt before wearing those shoes, so I decided to take my seat and enjoy the groove tunes from fifth row center. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Between acts, the DJ was spinning some incredible Old School and R&B. Everyone was in the aisles dancing, so I kicked off my kicks and commenced to do a creative version of the Wobble. I was having a grand ole time, and my feet seemed rejuvenated, so after a bit, I resumed my stroll. I shopped the vendors, mosied up to the outdoor plaza of the hotel (La Costa Resort and Spa) and bought some tacos, and then it hit me. There was something rubbing the outer edge of the soles of both my feet, and my Calvins ceased to be so cute. In about two minutes, my gait went from a strut to just about a lap-legged ramble. And the most devastating reality was that the concert was only about half finished; I had a while to go in those shoes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">So, I limped my way back to my seat, and took off my Calvins yet again. But you know, when your feet start to hurt, that pain does not subside just because you've freed them from the offending foot gear. OH NO!!!! That pain lingers, it lingers until you have to put the shoes back on to leave the venue, and then it surges like a sledge hammer just hit you. And we all know that look, and that walk of hurting feet. The face is trying to smile, divorcing itself from the very obvious pain the feet feel. It's just that it's got this slightly pinched look, this minute contortion that belies the frozen grin. And despite all that, the feet continue to move. The ankles may twist out from time to time, practically throwing you to the ground, but the feet still move-- slowly and painfully, to be sure. And little did I know, the worst was yet to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">You see, I would have been better served had I stopped into one of the shops and purchased a pair of flip flops; OR, when I went to take a look at my room, I should have simply changed shoes. But noooooo!!! I had to stay CUTE!!! Like I said, the worst was yet to come. By the next morning, I had two deep blisters on the outer edges of the soles of my feet. Please remember, this is an area of the foot that hits the ground with each step; walking the next day was an agony I never experienced the night before. Needless to say, I've spent the past two days pampering my poor feet. The only bright side to this story that I can even conceive is that at least it was the bottom of my feet which people don't see, and I haven't rubbed holes and blisters on my toes!!! Can you imagine covering those brown marks when they healed?!?!?! T!NTALIZE® concealer here I come!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">I have no idea why I related this story other than to have you laugh with me in my misery. So, that IS my story, and I'm sticking it to it. Please send us yours...</span></div>
