We're on our feet for a great deal of time during the day. Commuting into work, walking around the office, going for a run, working out at the gym, taking the dog out ... the opportunities for movement are endless. Our feet are always active, always moving. They're the engine that keeps life going. Sweaty feet, then, are a fact of life.

After all, who likes walking around in sweaty, wet socks? So, what are th ..read more

Every Layer Is An Opportunity Use the cold to your advantage and try adding different materials to your wardrobe.

Having resp ..read more

That means a lot of vacation time will go towards trips to weddings - and there's a lot of brainpower about to be spent pondering over wedding outfits.
