I have been doing a lot of reading about steel toe work boots of late. What I have found to be quite interesting is that choosing the right boot is almost as difficult as choosing a life partner.

In both cases, to find the best match for yourself, you need to be analyzing your own life style, your wants and needs, and prioritizing them. If this sounds a little bizarre to you, read on, and I promise to prove the point.

Lifestyle is probably the biggest factor, and the question really comes down to what type of work you do. If you think about it, our time at work, from the time we leave home until the time we return, makes up usually about half of our waking hours. Of the 17 hours a day that the average person is up and about, most of us will spend about 9 hours dressed in our work clothes.

For those that work in an industrial line of work, steel toe work boots are often a requirement of the job, and are therefore worn at least 9 hours a day. Those in other lines of work may only require a steel toe work boot for the odd chore around the home.

Those that want to wear work boots as a style statement, have no need for a steel toe and can chose from the hundreds of soft toe versions.

Now, if your need for a work boot is industrial related, not only will you need the steel toe, but chances are that your job will require you to be on your feet all day long. Wearing a boot with an improper fit could actually create a crippling effect over the long term.

What does “proper fit” actually represent?

• Most important is arch support. Without proper arch support you are headed towards fallen arches, which can be extremely painful and debilitating.
• Heel support is number two on the list. Because of the sturdy soles found on a typical work boot, walking usually creates a pounding effect on the heel. Without proper heel support it is more than likely that you would develop heel splints, another painful prospect.
• Next on the list is proper width. If your boot is too narrow, it will obviously squeeze your feet. What this does is to reduce the effectiveness of any built in arch support system in the boot. A squeezed foot doesn’t sit properly in the arch area and therefore doesn’t take full advantage of the arch support.
• A boot that is too wide for your feet, although comfortable when standing still, will tend to give you blisters as you walk about.
• The weight of your steel toe work boot comes next on the list. If you are walking all day in your boots, a heavier work boot will put more strain on your ankles, calves and knees. This can cause muscle cramps, tendonitis, problems with your achilles and eventually knee problems as well, as you adjust your walking style to accommodate the various aches and pains.
• Last, but not least is the thickness or durability of the soles on your steel toe work boots. The amount of walking you do each day on the job, and the types of ground cover that you walk on, makes a huge difference on the type of sole you will need. The more you walk each day and the rougher the terrain, the more important a thicker or highly durable boot sole is to your choice. Otherwise you will be replacing your boots every six months or so.

Comfort is the number one demand for any steel toe work boot, no matter what the purpose. The big question becomes whether we should give a little on the comfort side in order to gain on the durability side?

My advice is that you should never yield on the comfort side. Keep searching until you can find all the qualities that you need in your steel toe work boots and a fit that is comfortable as well.

Their are literally hundreds of work boots to chose from. You should start your search by writing down the most important needs that must be accommodated in priority order. Then go online and find the most popular boots. Most websites will provide you with customer reviews, which in my opinion is the best information. Customers will talk about comfort, durability, any issues they found, and so on. Read through these reviews and find the general theme. If most are strong recommendations, then you have found a winner. The not so strong reviews should provide you with cautions that you would need to address when purchasing.

Based on all the reading and research that I have done, I created a website that reflects the top two most popular steel toe work boots, their selling features, a collection of customer reviews from multiple websites, and a monthly price comparison for these boots from the most popular online work boot stores.

My final advice is that you should never buy a work boot because it looks good. Educate yourself on the key factors that make a steel toe work boot the right one for you. Then buy them based on you complete needs. I promise you that you will be much happier with your choice.

When you have a broken leg or foot, it can definitely be difficult to get dressed at all, let alone try to put on clothes that look good. But just because you have to wear a cast for the next few weeks doesn’t mean that your personal style has to go out the window. Looking great with a cast on doesn’t have to be difficult, it just requires a little planning and preparation. Below are a few ideas that can help you remain stylish and fabulous throughout your recuperation.

• Wear Dresses: Women are often tempted to use the six weeks or so that their leg will be in a cast to walk around in sweat pants all the time. But just because you have a broken leg doesn’t mean you have to walk around like a homeless person. In fact, wearing a dress may be much more comfortable for you. Wear dresses that are simple to take on and off, like a cute shirt dress that buttons all the way down, or a flowy summer dress. Since you’re probably not able to walk around too much, order some wholesale dresses online and have them delivered straight to your door.
• Accessorize: Accessories are fun and easy way to add some style to your outfit without having to do too much else. Put a stylish belt around your shirt dress, wear a charming ankle bracelet (on your other foot), layer beaded necklaces, put your hair in a braid and tie it with a bow, stock up on hair accessories like headbands, feathers and assorted clips. These are just a few examples of how you can accessorize, but feel free to be creative. Even if you’re just sitting around at home, putting on just one or two colorful accessories can make you feel better if you’re feeling slumpy or feel like you’re starting to get cabin fever. Have a friend pick up a few fun accessories for you if you don’t feel like going shopping, or purchase them online.
• Get A Pedicure: With your foot in a cast, you’ll definitely be drawing attention to your feet and toes, so make sure they look good! A woman should never wear open toed shoes without having her toes polished, and this includes those that are wearing a cast. Even if you can’t get a full pedicure on the foot with the cast, you can still have it painted nicely. If you normally get simple colors on your toes, have some fun during this time when your toes are always showing. Get funky colors, designs and rhinestones, or paint every toe in a different color. You’re allowed to be a little pampered during this time, so get your mother or a friend to paint your toes for you.

Gout toe and Turf toe are two completely different conditions that are often mistaken to be the same thing because of their relatively similar symptoms. Both are characterized by an inflammation that results to redness, swelling, and even pain in the area of the toe affected, but as you will discover later on there are very big differences to the nature of each of these conditions. To make it easier for you determine if you have gout toe or turf toe, here is a breakdown of the different areas where they significantly differ.

The Cause

Gout is caused by high uric acid in the body which eventually builds up as crystals in the joint of the big toe. This is typically caused by a poor diet that consists of fatty and high protein foods as well as the regular intake of alcohol which leads to the inefficient performance of the kidney and liver – two organs that are directly related to the production and excretion of uric acid. As a result gout toe is commonly seen in middle aged men who live an unhealthy lifestyle. On the other hand turf toe is mostly seen in athletes and those with an active lifestyle and is caused by an injury to the tendons at the base of the big toe.

Site of pain

For you to be able to determine which of the two conditions you really have, you should pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from. Both of these conditions will present swelling, redness, and pain, which are all symptomatic of an inflammation, but the pain will occur at different sites. Gout pain is basically located at the top of joint of the big toe while turf pain is localized to the tendons below the joint of the big toe. The site of swelling then is also very different with the former presenting at the top of the foot while the latter is more evident at the side of the foot or the bottom.

Treatment

Having known the basic differences between the two it is also important to know that treatment is very different. Gout toe is usually treated with a change in diet and with the revitalization of the liver and kidney through healthy living. Once the kidneys and liver are functioning properly, they can efficiently decrease the amount of uric acid in the bloodstream thus preventing further urate crystal buildup in your joints. For turf toe on the other hand treatment options depend on the severity of the condition. Icing the site of swelling usually helps, but in most cases a visit to a sports injury specialist is required. Putting a brace on the toe may be required as well different rehabilitation and strengthening exercises.

Just what is Brazilian toe massage? You may have heard of this technique and wondered what masseuses are doing to people’s toes down in Brazil. This type of bodywork is more than just a weird way of messing around with someone’s toes, though. Brazilian toe massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on pressure points and helps to relieve stress and tension that has built up in the body. If you’ve never experienced it, you should definitely try it and see what all the fuss is about.

Many people believe that Brazilian toe massage works on the same principles as acupuncture, enhancing energy flow in depleted organs and releasing surplus energy that is trapped within other organs. Acupuncture causes a natural alteration of one’s physical, mental and emotional state, just as Brazilian toe massage does. Instead of inserting needles into the skin at certain pressure points, though, the toe massage technique revolves around six energy meridians at the ends of the toes that intertwine with all the organs of the body. Massage therapists who practice Brazilian toe massage can release chi, or positive energy, by holding the toes and influencing the body’s energy meridians, which connect with the spleen, liver, stomach, bladder, gall bladder and kidney.

Having a Brazilian toe massage is a comfortable and relaxing experience. You simply close your eyes and lie on a massage table with your toes exposed to the masseuse. He or she then holds the tips of the central toes between his or her thumb and fingers for several minutes each, in a specific order. While holding your toes, the massage therapist channels energy that causes a positive reaction in the meridians leading to the affected organs. When moving from one toe to the next, the massage therapist moves his or her fingers onto the next toe before breaking contact. For those who swear by the technique, it is a lifesaver from the stress, improperly channeled energy and negative energy that is pent up in the body.

There has not been a great deal of research done on the short-term or long-term effects of Brazilian toe massage, but a physician at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic in Melbourne did conduct some studies about its therapeutic benefits. He found that patients who had not responded well to the center’s traditional psychotherapeutic techniques did respond well to this technique, when it was applied twice a day for an extended period of time.

How To Lick A Woman’s Vagina – Killer Labia Licker Tactics That Will Make Her Curl Her Toes

“The Dirty Rapid Rough Licker”. First, locate her clitoris (which is at the top opening of her labia). Once you have done this, stretch the vaginal skin a little (be careful not to hurt her!). At this point, use the tip of your tongue and quickly “flick” her clitoris and the surrounding area rapidly. While you do this, vary the speed a little by going from really slow (tease her a little) to really quick. The key here is to be as unpredictable as possible. Also, go gentle, and then without warning, get a little rough. Use this following technique to increase the sensation by 200% or more.

“Go For The Combo”. When you are doing the “Dirty Rapid Rough Licker” technique, gently insert your index finger into her vagina. Move your finger in a circular fashion, in and out of her vagina. If she gets wetter then you’ll know that you’re doing things right! Try it – this technique works like magic every time without fail – it is THAT powerful!

Every man loves receiving fellatio (blow job) from their ladies because it is such a wonderful and blissful experience. If you can give him a good blow job, he will in return reward you with the best sex ever.

In this article, let me share with you some tips to give him a tasteful blow job and see the delight on his face:

1. The lollipop lick. This is one of the most pleasurable blow job tricks that most men crave for. To start off, go down on him and lick his manhood from the base up. Go all the way from the bottom to the top. While you are doing this, make a swirling movement, as if you are licking a lollipop. Remember to look right into his eyes to turn him on even further.

2. Head flick. Before you start using this move, be sure that you do it with care because the head of his manhood is extremely sensitive as there are a lot of nerve endings there. Place his manhood inside your mouth and flick the head. You can press your lips together to create more pressure to the tips – this gives him more pleasure.

3. Make an “O” lips. There are 2 types of “O” lips: a tight or loose “O”. I recommend you to start off with softer moves in the beginning. When he is warmed up, you can then proceed to harder moves. To start off this technique, slide your “O” up and down his manhood. When you are sliding down (do it extremely slow), try to go as far down to the base as possible. When going up, go all the way up to the head.

It’s not what you say as much as it is your techniques. For example if you are the one initiating most of the texting conversations, you are probably killing the attraction unknowingly. It tells the guy you are more into him than he is into you and it gives him the power to dominate the terms and pace of the relationship. Let him put in most of the effort, especially in the beginning. Guys like a challenge, so don’t be over eager. Let him think he will have to put in some wok to get your attention. If he isn’t willing, you don’t want him anyway.

Men don’t respond to words, so what you say does not carry as much weight as you may think. Guys have been tuning out our words forever, that is unless we say something to their penis, that is a different story. All of a sudden they are on full alert. Don’t do this however. You don’t want them replying to you for the wrong reason. You want them to be hooked before you go there. So when a guy texts you, don’t be to anxious to reply. Wait a while. If you reply immediately every time you become predictable. Be there, but just out of reach. You can do this by varying the time it takes you to reply. He will never be able to predict if it will be 15 minutes or hours. When he does hear from you he will be relieved and this builds up anticipation which builds attraction. When learning the how to text a guy techniques, remember, anticipation is powerful.

If he tries to engage in a marathon texting event, don’t go there. That is giving him too much too soon and will not keep him on his toes. One sure tip for cutting off a conversation is the old “lol”. If he says something humorous, send the old “lol”. It does not really warrant a reply and it can end the conversation. When texting a guy, leave him wanting more. Don’t give it all to him at once. If you do participate in a marathon texting session, he tends to start thinking you don’t have much of a life and he assumes you are really into him. Don’t let him get too comfortable to fast. Marathon texting should only be done on occasion. Just give him a taste of what it would be like to have more of your attention. Marathon texting is not high on the list of how to text a guy.

Think about how it always seems that the one you don’t really like texts you all the time while the guy you really like seems to not be so reliable. Why is this? Do you treat the one you don’t like so much differently? I imagine you don’t jump to reply to his messages and you don’t find yourself constantly checking you phone. You certainly don’t have your phone glued to your person waiting on his text. Could it be that is why he is so into you, because you treat him with a nonchalant, don’t care attitude. To balance this out, text the guy you really like as if he was the one you didn’t really like. It adds mystery and that to a guy is pretty appealing. Less is more when in doubt of how to text a guy.

I have a lot of guy friends. I have been out with them and girls are texting them constantly. They show each other the messages and usually don’t speak to highly of the perpetual texter. Oh but when they send a text to a girl and she doesn’t jump right away, I have seen how they constantly check their phones, sometimes even send a second text. That girl is keeping them on their toes for sure.

Oral sex is often overlooked by many guys in the bedroom. You might be surprised by this, but most guys think that the only way they could get a woman to climax is via penetrative sex alone. The fact is that many women experience difficulty to climax from vaginal penetration alone. Indeed, there are a lot of women who could orgasm from oral sex. It is therefore super important for any guy to master the art of oral sex – otherwise he might be seen as a lousy lover. Read on to discover some killer oral sex techniques and master the art of pleasuring any woman in the bedroom…

How To Lick A Woman’s Private Parts – Get Her To Curl Her Toes And Moan Your Name With Sexual Joy!

“Keep Her Panties On”. This is a highly erotic technique which would turn any woman on almost instantly. Keep her panties on, and lick her labia from outside her panties. The texture of her underwear would intensify the friction and intensity on the labia. When you do this, be careful not to hurt her. This technique would work well for satin (or any other soft material) panties.

“Combine With The Fingers”. You don’t have to just rely on your tongue and lips to work her vagina. Use your fingers! One easy way to do this is to use your fingers to simulate her clitoris while you lick her labia. At the same time, moan and say dirty things to arouse her further. In fact, there are women who could climax just by hearing dirty talk!

The colloquial or slang term for the outlining of a woman’s vulva is known as “cameltoe.” It is sometimes spelt as “camel toe” or “camel-toe.”

It is most apparent when a woman is wearing tight-fitting clothing and more especially apparent if her pubic region is shaved; as the presence of pubic hair can help obscure the outline that is known as “cameltoe.” When tight underwear or swimsuits are worn it can also be readily apparent, especially if water is applied to this form of clothing.

This bilateral puffiness in a woman’s genital region is termed “camel toe,” as its appearance is not unlike that of a camel’s toes. Fancy that. It’s certainly not a very endearing term for a woman’s private parts in appearance and the parallel with a camel can conjure up some very strange thoughts, that’s for sure.

This bilateral puffed region is formed due to the prominence of the labia majora. A woman’s vula contains two pairs of “labia” or lips. The inner lips, that are hairless, are called the labia minora, while the outer and typically hair-dotted lips are called the labia majora. They are paired and usually, but not always, of similar shape and size.

The presence of a distinguished (more visible) “camel-toe” is directly related to the amount of fat deposition in this area. That is, the more fat that is deposited in the labia majora is directly related to their prominence. This is because these lips are filled with fat.

As women age, the fat deposition in these “lips” decreases and the “cameltoe” becomes less marked and apparent. This is one factor that can help ascertain the difference between a younger woman and an older woman, if one is trying to gauge their age by just examining their vulva. The younger woman will typically have more-pronounced “majora” and the older woman will have less-pronounced “majora.”

These protuberances are different in all women and vary in size and shape. Some women have more fatty deposition than other women, as health and genetics play a role in their physical make-up.

The sexual significance of prominent labia majora is two-fold. The first being that they are visually “sexy” in appearance to most men. So they are a factor in getting most men “turned on” sexually and aid in arousal for men. On the other hand, they have an important sexually-based physiological function, as well, that isn’t that well known to a lot of individuals.

That is, these “lips” have a direct effect on a man’s penis during the sexual act. See, they help constrict (and put pressure) on the penis during penile-vaginal sex. The higher the fat content and “puffiness” of these “lips” is directly related to the constriction (gripping) of the penis during its entering and exiting of the vagina. To put it bluntly: The fatter the “camel-toe” the more pleasure a man will “feel” and perceive during sexual intercourse. So, typically, the bigger the better, from a man’s sexual point of view.

As we already mentioned, as the fat content in this area decreases with age, many women (and their male partners) are interested in ways to help restore this “camel-toe” to its earlier, more constricting, and more prominent years.

There are surgical procedures where adipose tissue (fat) is injected into these areas to help restore the puffiness and aid in increasing sexual pleasure for the male during intercourse with this certain female. Such forms of surgery are considered to be “cosmetic” in their application. Many men have stated that there is a noticeable difference with women that have had such injections, from the “before” and “after” point of view.

I can distinctly remember the first time I experienced having itchy toes at night. Without a doubt, this has been my life’s greatest frustration. If you or a loved one suffers from this chronic misery night in and night out you know exactly what I’m talking about. Over the years I have figured out a way to manage and eliminate the problem of itchy toes during the night and it is my passion to share this with everyone who suffered as I did. With this article, I will explain what causes your toes to itch at night and give several methods of eliminating the cause.

Most every medical problem that occurs is directly related to the health of your colon. That’s right folks, a healthy digestive track is vital to your overall health. An unhealthy intestinal track is established when the ratio of good bacterial cultures to that of the harmful ones is less than 80/20. Unfortunately, with the foods we eat and the pollutants present in the world we live in, many people struggle with keeping this balance in check. The result that most often causes one to suffer from itchy toes at night is yeast. Also known as Candida albicans, yeast is a reluctant micro organism with a shape like a fish hook that grabs onto your soft tissue causing inflation and an itchy discomfort.

Most often this itching sensation will occur in your toes as your blood flow carries it from your digestive track to your extremities. Left unchecked this discomfort will spread to your fingers, legs, armpits, and other areas of your body. The reason the symptoms get worse at night is because the yeasts (living organisms) are stimulated by the hormones released by your sleep cycle. Most doctors will tell you that it is impossible to kill without the help of strong antibiotics. The problem with this is that after a bout of strong, even moderate, antibiotics the good pro biotic bacteria in your gut is eradicated along with the harmful yeast leaving your body once again defenseless.

So how do we kill these seemingly un-killable little devils suffering us to those itchy toes at night? In addition to the three effective tips I’m sharing below, check out my blog in the author box at the end of this article for even more information.

Step 1.

You have to fight this battle on its own front, namely, the intestines. Go to your local health food store or super market and get yourself on a regular regimen of a living pro biotic. The best way to introduce this to your body is by taking the pill or powder form, a simple acidophilus will serve the purpose nicely. The yogurt or milk based cultures on the market won’t get you anywhere close to the parts per million starter cultures you need to return to that healthy ratio.

Step 2.

Starve the yeast. A yeast culture is a very simply microorganism and as such requires the simplest form of nutrition which is a monosaccharide, any form of simple sugar. Foods that promote rapid Candida overgrowth are foods such as candy, breads, sodas, pasta and nearly every sugar or starch based food we all love so much. Deny yourself these foods during your healing process and your yeast symptoms will disappear far more quickly.

Step 3.

Feed your body what it needs. We talked about foods that promote the growth of yeast so equally important are the foods that kill yeast. Anti fungal and anti yeast foods include ginger, curry, coconut oil, turmeric, and any alkalizing food like leafy green veggies. Tea Tree, oil is also a great anti yeast agent. Make these foods a staple in your diet to eliminate Candida the healthy way.

To summarize, a yeast overgrowth is one of the worst chronic frustrations of the 21st century. Symptoms are often shown as itchy toes at night along with countless other topical irritations. There are several ways to fight yeast, adding a pro biotic to your regular diet, avoiding foods high in simple sugars and adding anti yeast and anti fungal foods.
