WALK WITHOUT WINCING

Sponsored by PowerStep

Keep the Walks You Love on the Calendar

Foot pain has a way of quietly shrinking the day. The morning walk gets shorter. The afternoon errand gets postponed. By evening, even the kitchen feels like a long trip. None of that has to be the routine.

Custom orthotics from a specialist can run hundreds of dollars. PowerStep Pinnacle insoles are the over-the-counter alternative, built around the same podiatrist-designed arch shape, made in the USA, with more than 30,000 Amazon ratings averaging 4.5 stars.

Slip them in tonight and take tomorrow’s walk on your own terms.

Three child psychologists weighed in on old-school parenting trends. Their findings might surprise you and help you connect better with your grandkids.

    LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE AND STAY SHARP

    Sponsored by Babbel

    More Travel. More Connection. More Language.

    It’s never too late to learn something new — and learning a language might be one of the best things you can do for your mind and your travels. Studies show it strengthens memory, improves focus, and keeps the brain active in ways that pay off for years to come. And with Babbel, there’s no classroom and no pressure — just practical skills that build steadily and stick.

    Built by 150+ linguists, the Babbel Method focuses on learning through speaking, so you can have real conversations sooner. Just 10 minutes a day is all it takes — and you could be having your first conversation in as little as three weeks.

    Babbel’s Labor Day Sale is on — get Lifetime for just $199. Join over 15 million learners and start speaking a new language like you’ve always wanted.

    WELLNESS

    FINANCE

    Financial experts say these three budgeting approaches can help retirees living on Social Security make every dollar count and reduce money stress.

    PAWS & PURPOSE

    Dogs can develop high blood pressure just like we do and it rarely shows warning signs. Here is what to watch for and how vets treat it.
