#aboutLifestyle .left{
  width: 175px;
  float: left;
  background-color: #fffffd;
}

#navleft {
  width: 170px;
  float: left;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: #fffffd;
}


#navleft ul {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  background-color: #fffffd;
}

#navleft ul li {
  width: 160px;
  height:35px;
  line-height:25px; 
  list-style:none; 
  padding: 5px 0px 0px 15px;
  color:#4164AB;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #CFCDB7;
