Cracked heels are really nothing more than oversight or a lack of proper foot care. There are many home treatments for cracked heals, the easiest one being the use of a hydrogenated oil or petroleum jelly on the feet. Put the oil or jelly on clean dry feet, then put on socks and wear them overnight. Doing this over the course of 3 or 4 days, your feet should have gotten progressively better.

Standing Ab exercise that you can do during a commercial or on a break. Side-to-Side Punch Outs 4 x 30 seconds. Feet a little wider than shoulder width and your fists by your chin. Put your weight in your hips by sitting back into a quarter squat position. Punch to your left side with your right hand by rotating your core. Rotate back to the starting position while returning your hand to your chin. Repeat the movement while alternating sides for 30 seconds.

Take the time to fix what is broken or loose. Tighten screws on door handles, drawers and cabinets. These are easy fixes that require only a screwdriver, so there is no reason to have your world falling apart before your eyes. Just fix it! Home reflects Life. Make your Life easier, by fixing the easy things. Oil squeaky doors with 'WD40' and use 'Goo Gone' for sticky labels.

I'm super-dooper conscious of using excess energy. It's not a cheap-thing, it's a green-thing. In warm weather I hang clothes outside on a clothes line to dry. In cold weather I hang clothes on hangers on the shower rod to dry. I use the dryer for towels (in the winter) and that's pretty much it. Even socks I will hang over the shower rod. If you use a laundromat, save yourself the money and just bring your wet clothes home to hang on the shower rod.

It doesn't matter where you worked or where you work now, there is information and skill to be gained. When I first went into practice, I joined another doctor's practice and learned how not to run a practice. Learning from someone else's mistakes was an invaluable experience that I would not have gotten anywhere else, except myself. You just can't make some of that stuff up but you can sure as heck learn from it.

There's a lot of baking going on this time of year and I tend to bake a lot of cookies. After the cookies have cooled, as I put them into the cookie jar or into a tin to give to someone else, I separate the cookies from each other with one square piece of wax paper. This keeps the cookies from sticking to each other. Just cut a bunch of squares and you are ready to rumble.
