I got my hands on the new Nike+ Sportband ($59) and was so psyched to start tracking my runs with it. Before you get started though, you need to download the Nike+ Sportband Utility software from the website. Then charge the Link (small black piece with the digital screen) by plugging it into your computer's USB port to charge, which takes about two hours.

Highlights
Treatment for Ingrown Toenail:
- Orthonyxia, a surgical technique that implants a small metal brace into the top of the nail, was as effective as traditional surgical techniques for preventing ingrown toenail from recurring, according to one study.
- A nonsurgical method for treating ingrown toenail with chemicals uses either sodium hydroxide or phenol, but one study shows that sodium hydroxide procedures have a better outcome and faster recovery than phenol procedures.
Treatment for Forefoot Pain:
- Ultrasound-guided injection of alcohol might provide relief from Morton's neuroma, according to one study. Symptoms improved in 94% of patients who had the treatment, a success rate comparable to that of surgery.
Treatment for Heel Pain:
- NSAIDs reduce pain and disability in people with plantar fasciitis when used with other techniques, such as night splints and stretching.
- Studies show that extracorporeal shockwave therapy provides a very small reduction in heel pain without side effects. It may be a good option for patients who haven't responded well to conservative treatment.
Work-related Foot Problems:
- An estimated 120,000 job-related foot injuries occur every year, about a third of them involving the toes.

Who embarked on my sexy bikini hunt? Your mission was to scour the web for the sexiest, sassiest bikinis — I said you could throw in a couple one-pieces if they're extra hot. There were no limits: inexpensive, way expensive, or both.

The money I've spent as a bridesmaid is some of the most guiltless spending I've done. It was all for my closest friends or family and supporting them on their wedding days. These efforts came back full circle when they stood by me on my wedding day, and there weren't any money issues standing between us behind the scenes.

Spa Week could not have come at a better time. My sore muscles have been screaming for a soothing massage, but I've been trying to spend less, which means cutting back on unnecessary expenses. It's tough to justify spending the cost of a new pair of running shoes on a 60-minute treatment , but spa week offers the opportunity to recession proof your relaxation needs and wants.

This season sees the return of shoes as a statement accessory in a big way. The handbag has become merely functional as all eyes are down checking out footwear. Personally, I am more of a fan of shoes so this is music to my ears, but I always seem to fall for the most expensive pair!
