The heels of my feet are constantly looking dry and a little rough around the edges. Especially in the summer.
Yeah, I probably walk around barefoot (and drive barefoot) more than I should. But that’s a whole ‘nother story.

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” ideas that most wouldn’t think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV.
