The morning after an over-indulgent evening you probably feel like crap but you also look it, too. Little shut-eye, too much booze, plus loads of late night junk food means you’ll definitely wake up on the wrong side of the bed. As in, those indiscretions are going to be written all over your face. You can disguise your self-destructive tendencies before you head out the door with a combination of energizing ingredients, detoxifying formulas, and the topical equivalent of a slap in the face. Without further ado, (we can see that forehead vein throbbing), here’s how to hide a hangover.

Best Products to Treat Your Monstrous Flip-Flop Feet
flip-flop feet.

As we slip into late summer, everything gets a little looser and a little lazier, as vacations, weekend road trips, and backyard barbecues take center stage and the work-a-day life gets a little less consideration. It’s the time of year when lace-up shoes and even slip-on sneakers get kicked off in favor of good old flip-flops. Before we let our feet get practically naked, though, let’s take a few steps to make sure they not only survive flip-flop season, but they can also look great in them all summer long.

First, let’s be clear, while flip-flops may not be the best thing for your feet, wearing them is sure better than going barefoot. In fact, the American Podiatric Medical Association warns that going barefoot can result in getting plantar warts on the soles of your feet, as well as  ringworm fungus, and other infections. That said, flip-flops are not your healthiest footwear option, either. OrthoBethesda, a group of board certified orthopaedic surgeons based in Bethesda, Maryland, cautions that wearing them too often can affect your posture, toes, skin, heels and arches. What’s more, there’s also the potential for blisters, balance issues, and plantar fasciitis. And don’t get us started on how dangerous they can be on steps, sidewalks, or for driving.
