My Real Age or What I Tell People?

 

I don't want to look good for my age... I want to look good P.E.R.I.O.D.!

I'm going to start a quest on what it takes to maintain and improve. I have been working out for years and just recently kicked it up a notch and I’m seeing great improvement but…

I have a co-worker that stated on her facebook wall that she is getting back in shape so that she looks like the 28 year old that people think that she is. I work out on a daily basis and if nothing else… I’m starting to look older. There is no way anyone would mistake me to be 10 years younger than I am. Perhaps it is time to pull out the wallet and make an appointment with the dermatologist.

It's a Stretch But I Think We Got It!

A couple of weekends ago we entered the mall via JC Penny’s. Usually we just breeze straight thru to the interior of the mall but that night these babies caught my eye.

WORTHINGTON - faux snake skin pumps

Everything I wanted; snake skin, sexy and inexpensive ($16.99).

However, they kill my feet in about five minutes. First the toes become uncomfortable then they actually feel like they have fallen asleep.

When I mentioned to my guy that I wasted my money on shoes that I just can’t wear he told me he could stretch them for me.

After a quick Google search he began the process of stretching my shoes. I love the man; he is very handsome and handy. He saturated the interior of the shoes with water and expanded a shoe stretcher inside each shoe. It has taken a couple of attempts per shoe but voile…  These shoes are slowly becoming comfortable.  

Another option that we found via our Google search was to fill a zip lock baggies half way with water. Seal the baggies and place into the shoe. They mentioned that the baggy of water must fill the interior of the shoe toe to heel. The next step is the intriguing part, at least to me; you then place both shoes into a plastic bag and place into the freezer. Leave them in the freezer for 12 hours or so and bring them out and defrost for about 10-20 minutes and then place on feet and wear. I’m going to try this method if I ever have a need for another pair of shoes to be stretched.
