Being on your feet for long periods of time is obviously exhausting. And while you can expect soreness to occur, it can even cause serious damage to your feet and body long-term, especially if you do it often. A comfortable pair of sneakers, though, can make all the difference for those with constant aches. When it comes to finding the right pair, I sought out a podiatrist to recommend a few reliable styles. Podiatrist Megan Ishibashi, MD told me the Hoka Bondi 9 sneakers are a “more supportive and cushioned” option for those with chronic foot pain.  Hoka Bondi 9…

Martha Stewart is no stranger to taking a sultry selfie, and I must admit her skills are impressive. After a chance run-in with the celeb in New York City, I was more struck by how stunning her complexion looked in person at age 83 — so much, in fact, I’m always eager to know her skin care secrets. I know the one brand responsible for many of her favorite products is Mario Badescu. Stewart’s facialist, Carmela Barabas, revealed that the Super Rich Olive Body Lotion has been a “long-time favorite” of the celeb. She credits it for leaving the star’s…

I consider myself a creature of habit, particularly when it comes to my footwear. I can stick to the same white sneakers for years until I see visible tears. And it turns out actress Jennifer Garner isn’t so different — the star has sported Brook Sneakers on multiple occasions over the last few years. Her latest pair? The Glycerin 22 Sneakers, which she was spotted in while on a coffee run earlier this month. Truthfully, I totally get why she swears by them. These running shoes are stacked with a soft cushioning. Plus, Shape editors and the American Podiatric Medical…

Leggings are one of the few pants that rival my love for jeans. I’m all for a practical clothing choice, but it’s fair to say that leggings are unbeatable when it comes to long-lasting comfort—that’s why everyone I know (including myself) owns too many pairs to count. Needless to say, this easy-to-wear staple will always have a spot in my wardrobe, especially now that my old leggings are starting to show signs of wear. That’s why I sifted through Amazon’s top-rated options to find a new comfy pair. Enter: the Sinophant High-Waisted Leggings, which more than 6,000 Amazon shoppers have…

It’s completely normal to get frustrated with your skin, especially as we age. After all, it becomes troubled with concerns like wrinkles, stretch marks, and cellulite that aren’t as easily treatable. And to tell the truth, there’s no skin care product that completely eliminates these signs of aging — but there are a few that shoppers swear come close. When it comes to skin-tightening creams, fans say Dermelect Lipo-Conquer Body Toning Cream is second to none.  Dermelect Lip-Conquer Body Toning Cream  Dermelect This rejuvenating body lotion is formulated to improve the appearance of areas prone to sagging or loose skin,…

Choosing the right footwear can make all the difference when you walk everywhere like I do. After walking 15,000 steps in sandals recently in one day, I’ve come to realize that you can’t beat a plush and supportive pair of sneakers. They’re a practical choice for a reason, which is why I plan to stick to them so I can stay free of blisters and cuts. That said, I’m searching for new comfy kicks that won’t wreak havoc on my feet, which is how I came across the $34 Lamincoa Walking Shoes  at Amazon.  Lamincoa Walking Shoes Amazon These casual…

Trying to add bounce to your hair when it’s prone to flatness is a constant struggle. As someone with thin hair, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to achieve a fuller look, especially if you don’t want to risk damaging strands with heat-styling tools. Fortunately, there are a few low-risk tricks you can try, like a volumizing shampoo. Take the Virtue Full Shampoo for instance. Formulated to provide weightless and long-lasting volume, even celebrities like Jennifer Garner and Nicole Kidman are fans of the brand.  Virtue Full Shampoo Virtue The $42 treatment cleanses hair while giving limp strands…

There’s nothing more versatile than a pair of white sneakers. They’re a wardrobe staple for a reason: They easily complement any outfit, never go out of style, and look effortlessly cool. I’m not alone in my love for classic white sneakers — Reese Witherspoon sported a chunky pair, the Autry Medalist Low Sneakers, on vacation last year, and they’ve been on my mind ever since. However, the hefty price tag has stopped me from pulling the trigger (and if you know my love for sneakers, that’s shocking).  That’s why I found lookalike pairs for less that offer the same sporty…

It’s easy to stick to the same skin care routine you’ve had for years. The reality is, though, your skin won’t always glow or bounce back like it once did, so you may want to think about switching up products every now and then. After all, skin can undergo several changes, especially as you get older — and wrinkles are one visible sign it’s happening.  While they can appear at any age, it’s never a bad idea to incorporate retinol products into your regimen. Retinol is a powerful ingredient in anti-aging skin care, and I spoke to an expert about…

I’m all for ease in my clothing once warm weather comes around. I prioritize comfort, breathability, and lighter fabrics in my summer wardrobe. Because let’s face it — I’m bound to get a little (okay maybe extremely) sweaty and sticky on those hot days. I’m under 5-foot 4-inches, so when it comes to shopping for bottoms, it can be tricky to find flowy pants that won’t swallow me whole. That’s why I sifted through options at Amazon to find comfy petite pants just in time for summer, including linen and loungewear options. Below, I compiled six airy, petite-friendly options under…
