It's such a bummer when we discover a smudge on our brand new shoes or a stain on our favorite high heels. Here are a few simple tricks to clean our high heels.
Whether it's dress code drama or the increased likelihood of injury, high heels are always on the media's and medical community's hit (or *hit) list.
Despite the continual bad press, heels and wedges still remain #1 - at least in my closet!
And I’m not alone.
Vivian Lou Insolia weight-shifting insoles go to Broadway!
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by customer Jaime Verazin, who has been a professional dancer for 15 years. She began her career touring the world with MOMIX and then moved to NYC to dance for the Metropolitan Opera and Mark Stuart Dance Theatre. Jaime was the Assistant Choreographer of ABC's remake of Dirty Dancing and can also be seen in the dance scenes of the film. She is a Fred Astaire Award Nominee Off-Broadway and is currently a Chita Rivera Award nominee on Broadway. Jaime has performed on Broadway in Finding Neverland, but can be seen today on Broadway in Bandstand!

Cabbage. Many consider it an all-star food as it is high in nutrients. But did you know that cabbage has been used for centuries to topically reduce pain and reduce swelling?

It's been quite a few weeks for high heels.
First, there is the UK where almost 150,000 people petitioned the governmentcalling for a ban on an employer's right to require women to wear heels in the workplace.
And then there is Japan where a popular national campaign encourages women to wear high heels as a way toboost their confidence in society.
I just love this time of year! The choices for footwear are endless. Strappy sandals. T-strap block heels. Colorful pumps. Espadrille wedges. Pretty much anything goes!
With all the fun footwear choices, sometimes we push the edge! We either stand too long, walk a bit too far or do a bit too much.
Even in our most comfy pair of shoes, our feet would be sore, tired and inflamed.
Ever been there?
If yes, then perhaps essential oils can help!
A study conducted by The College of Podiatry revealed that it takes an average of 1 hour, 6 minutes and 48 seconds for high heel wearers to start feeling foot pain.
And one in five women (20%) say they start feeling pain within just 10 minutes.

High heels are beautiful, inspiring, confidence-building, outfit-making, and a must-have for any fashionable woman.
But wearing them for 10 minutes or even 1 hour before the pain sets in is just awful.
So what are women to do?
