Where I live the winds have really started howling lately! Being the high desert, it’s already dry here, but adding the winds has really created a challenge when it comes to keeping my various extremities from drying out. Luckily, Heel Vitality is NOT just for heels! I personally use it on my elbows, my hands, my toes, and my knees, [...]
About seven months ago I reported here in this blog about this amazing spa therapy in Hong Kong where little fish are used to clean all the dry skin off of feet. I thought it was an incredibly cool idea, but I recently read a report in the Mail Online (UK paper) that there is now some concern that this [...]
My wife is a cosmetologist. She cuts and styles hair for many people each day. This requires her to be on her feet all day long. She comes home at the end of a very long day and expresses how tired and worn out her feet are. It doesn’t help her that she has cracked and peeling feet. I feel [...]

Now it’s October, which means we have holidays coming up every month between now and 2012. So plan now to keep your wits about [...]
The odd-shaped avocado is often classes as a vegetable, but it’s actually a fruit since it has a stone. Either way, it tastes delicious and it yields a rich and extremely deep penetrating oil, rich in vitamins A, D and E, lecithin, as well as potassium – known in the skin care trade as the youth mineral. Avocado oil also [...]
You can never have too much … what? Chocolate? Money? Hugs? All true, but what I’m looking for is *information*. The more I learn about how one gets fissures (tiny cracks) in feet and especially heels, the more I realize hardly anyone pays attention to them. Just a little nuisance, right? Wrong.

About ten years ago I started to learn a whole lot about diabetes. That’s when my then 10 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
