I recently had the unpleasant experience of a 99% clogged kitchen sink.  This was a slow build-up of everyday dumping in small food bits into the drain, such as washing out a cat food can before tossing into the trash.  I don't have a garbage disposal so it slowly became a problem that couldn't be ignored any longer.  I tried non-commercial solutions such as pouring boili...

The All-Day Comfort Clogs by LL Bean are my favorite shoes to wear with jeans!   I cannot wait for weekends in the fall and winter so that I can wear them!  These clogs are available in four colors  (black, brown, dark red and khaki).  The leather is oil-tanned, which gives the shoe a nice color and finish as time goes on.  My personal favorite is brown but the dar...

I never used to be a shoe shopper. I'd have a pair of dress shoes, a pair of sandals, a pair of cross-trainers or walking shoes, and a pair of workboots. I no longer need the workboots (a mixed blessing), and thanks to my sister's cast-offs I have more dress shoes than I could possibly need. But I still sought out comfort.I've tried on Rockport shoes frequently, and am always impres...

These clogs are terrific for young children to wear. My two year old has two pair of them. She can put them on her feet herself. It has a strap that helps keep the shoes on while walking. They come in a variety of colors and shoe sizes. They are light weight. They match any clothes my daughter wears. It is better to wear during the Spring and Summer rather than Autumn and Winter. They are easy ...

If you are on your feet alot, or if you just enjoy hanging out in comfy shoes, I've got to tell you about my Merrills. I owned a business where I stood most of the day and when I wasn't standing, I was climbing the staircase to my upstairs office. Over the course of time, my back hurt, my legs hurt and most of all, my feet hurt!  (Not a good feeling to have before your 30...

As a healthcare professional, I am on my feet 12 hours a day, 3 to 5 times a week.  Dansko professional clogs are the perfect prescription for anyone spending a vast majority of their working hours in an standing position.  Having problem ankles since childhood, I was plagued when it came time to find the right shoe for my professional life, and the Dansko clog hit the spot.  The...

A couple of years ago I was getting ready for a Trade Show and was asking around about what shoes I might wear that wouldn't leave me crippled after the first day. Of all the recommendations I heard, one brand name kept recurring from my clients, suppliers and friends: Dansko. I'd heard they were comfortable. I'd noticed Doctors and Nurses wearing them at the hospitals over the year...

Yesterday, I noticed my sink was not emptying as quickly as it should. Before I knew it, all this cloudy water was being trapped above the drain, because of a clog. It was getting gross in there, so I knew what needed to be done.I went and got some drain cleaner from where I keep it in the house. I use this type from Homelife which is comparable to Drano. I found it be really thi...

My kids love their crocs and I love mine too!  You will never want to wear another shoes after you have worn a pair of crocs.  The possibilities are endless with the colors and styles and don't forget the jibitz that decorate them.  My kids couldn't live without their crocs.  They are great for the beach, the amusement park, to the ball park (keep the cleats off in t...

I've worked for restaurants for some time now and have gone in and out of many shoes for work especially specific 'restaurant environment friendly' types. I've tried shoes for crews and unless they come to my workplace, I don't ever recommend buying them from a catalog. I discovered Dr. Scholls work shoes out of desperation when my work shoes gave out on me one day and I'...

I get new slippers every birthday from my husband.  He always complains that's all I ever ask for but when you've had both knees replaced, a comfortable slip on non skid slipper is a must have.  I prefer the Totes Isotoner brand above any that I've gotten before.  The fit is always perfect, there is good support, they do not have overthick soles yet I still ...

I bought my daughter a pair of Faded Glory clogs from Wal-Mart. She had been asking for a shoe with a small heel for awhile and these were a perfect compromise!They are brown in color and made of suede. The wooden heel is very cute and stylish but the rubberish grip that is attached to the bottom of the shoe is where I have a problem. After wearing them once, the bottom started coming off at th...

Crocs is a hybrid of sandal and rubbery clog . Pros: It is light, soft  to the feet and comfortable to walk or run with . It is hollow and allows air in thus very cooling to the feet. The soles are slip resistant. It is resistant to fungus and bacteria that causes foot and shoe odour.Cons: It looks more like shoes for the nurses as claimed by somebody . When I wear...

You know when someone's wearing those super bright colored plastic looking clogs, and you can't help but giggle quietly to yourself?  You've never tried them. . . you are one of uninitiated. Crocs have quietly become one of the most fun shoe phenomenons since "jellies" were popular in the eighties.  Crocs used to just be big clunky beach shoes, super comfortable ...

One of my friends who has foot problems has always raved about Børn shoes. So, having flat feet myself, I had to try them. After wearing them to work for two weeks straight, the only problem I had was some minor pain on the top of my foot that I get whenever I wear clogs after not having worn them for a while.My first impression when I tried these on in the store was of the cushy fo...

I admit it. From time to time, I get the occasional zit or blackhead. And I like to pop them. Yes I do. It's bad for my skin, blah blah blah, I know, so I went to Sephora and purchased a metal extractor tool so that I would minimize the damage I usually do to my skin. The extractor is the model that has a pointed end on one side for "lancing" and a small metal cup-shaped end with ...

Drano Plumbing System Build-Up Remover is NOT FOR CLOGS, but you have to read the fine print on the back to learn that.What it says is “for slow running drains.”  And “to keep your whole plumbing system flowing free.”  It is safe for septic systems, and supposedly stimulates them.The container handles nicely, with a handle, and the cap is the kind that allows e...

One has to admit that these shoes look a little out of the ordinary but I had to try them out. Everyone who I had talked to that wore them told me how comfortable they are to wear. My own kids thought that they were goofy looking. I decided to try them out for myself and am I ever glad that I did so. I cannot stand wearing shoes especially constriting ones. To my amazement, these shoes are the ...

Unfortunately, I have dry frizzy hair. In addition, I live where the humidity is always present. Dove Moisturizing Shampoo for dry or damaged hair is a wonderful product that helps reduce the frizziest hair. My daughters who do not have frizzy hair also love this product. Since using Dove Moisturizing Shampoo I have found that a less split ends and my hair looks much healthier. It has a wonderf...

I discovered the 2 minute miracle by Ice Elements through word of mouth. I had heard several great things about this product including that the makers of Ice Elements were offering a generous sized sample for the price of shipping and handling, on their website (as of today the sample offer is still up at www.iceelements.com !) so how could I resist?I couldn’t!I called in and ordered my s...
