In the dead of winter, you’ll find me begging (sometimes literally) for sunshine, a warm breeze, and the opportunity to leave my house with bare arms and legs.

As a parent and pet owner, I’m extra-cautious about the pest repellents that I use in my home and prefer to use products that claim to have naturally derived ingredients (or, in the case of this light-based trap , no chemicals at all).

As far as I can tell, there is no foot pain worse than a bunion. And while I haven’t dealt with this particular affliction personally, I stand firmly behind my statement: At best, they turn the simple act of walking (or even putting on shoes) into a painful endeavor. At worst, they require some pretty hefty surgery. Adding insult to injury, it’s theorized that bunions are an entirely genetic affliction — meaning for some, avoiding high heels and pointed toes may just be delaying the inevitable.
