After watching hundreds of TikTok videos of 20-somethings sharing their makeup contouring tricks and “anti-aging” secrets (as if they’ve ever seen a wrinkle or felt the no-joke effect of gravity on their skin 😩), I’ve come to the obvious conclusion that self-care over 50 is a full-time job! Add in having to work around a…

I’ve scoured the internet and poured through hundreds of reviews to find the most comfortable and trendiest sandals of the season that work for AFO and orthotic wearers. I had to pick 16 (no easy feat) because, even though Molly Ringwald has absolutely nothing to do with comfort sandals, I like the sound of 16 Sandals/Candles and had to use it for the title of this post.
Foot drop is a condition that prevents you from being able to raise the front part of your foot due to a weakness or paralysis of the muscles that control your ability to lift the foot.

Pools & beaches can be extremely anxiety provoking, so I try to make what I wear over my afos as comfortable and as easy to get on and off as possible. Resort casual offers so many opportunities to look amazing and feel comfortable in leg braces.
