You can't wear summer sandals without having a pedicure, and to save a little cash this summer, a lot of women are doing theirs at home. Miss Oops Pedicure in a Bottle will moisturize and exfoliate your feet, and it really is a pedicure in a bottle.

Available at MissOops.com, it comes in two sizes -- regular ($18), and a travel size ($6.99), so you can throw it into your cosmetic bag and always prevent your heels from looking dried and cracked, which is so Old Lady-ish. Now, all you need is polish and you're good to go!

This is the one of the 150+ new Brilliant Buys in the paperback edition of HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD...coming your way May 1.

If it seems like it hurts more than ever when you stand in a pair of stilettos or peep toe pumps, there's a reason why.

As we get older, we lose padding on the bottom of our feet, especially near the balls of our feet. A three-inch heel puts seven times the pressure on the ball of your foot than a two inch heel. Not that we want to give up our three inch heels!

Airplus for Her Ball-of-Foot Cushions, $4.99 at Walgreens and Walgreens.com, will give you more cushioning between the street and your shoe, providing a softer landing for your feet. If you put padding in just one area, put it here -- you'll be able to wear your heels for longer, and will no longer have to sacrifice fit for fashion!
