shoe a day Summer Wedding!

Whether you are attending or a part of a summer wedding, Skylar by J. Renee is a total knock out. And yes girls, these come in wide widths too! The heel is high enough for sex appeal, but low enough that you can dance all night and keep the feeling in your pinky toes...don't miss out on these at SHOES.COM!

Shoe a day - Sexy Summer Shoes

What would summer be without some sexy after hours party so that you can show off those new shoes?!? I found these amazing Banolino's at one of my favorite spots, DSW! And guess what girls? They come in a wide sizes!! I love Bandolinos. They are so comfortable and well made.

Dance the night away in The Alelia Sandal!!

Shoe A Day Flats!!

So, in summer, running around is a must...but remaining cute is vital. Those stilettos that we love are only good for sitting pretty and possibly standing, but only for 2 hours.

To alleviate the need for $2 flip flops or wanting to chop your feet off at the end of the day, opt for adorable flats! Go for bright and vibrant colors or patterns to perk up your ensemble  Everyone has them, but for my wide doggies, the outside chunky part of my foot always looks like it's trying to escape. I found a really cute pair of flats from Rocket Dog that alleviate that with an outer rim that is higher than usual.

Happy shopping girls!

A Shoe A Day...Summer Shoes!!

Ok, so spring is here, and summer soon come!! What are you going to wear on those cute little tootsies of yours? Well, if you are like me...you haven't had cute LITTLE tootsies since about 1981, so for us big and wide foot girls...it takes a little more searching and finding.

I am a 10W which is almost non existent in cute and sexy, so I usually opt for a size 11 for comfort. Lots of retailers are waking up though. With the plus size fashion revolution comes the big girl foot revolution....YAHOO!!! More size 11s are being made, I just have to be sneaky to find them.

So I've decided to give you a shoe a day for the next week. Here is the first. I own this one and I know you will love it!

The Deelight by Nine West is super sexy and very comfortable believe it or not. You can go from day to night with just a change of eye makeup!! LOL

MAC Pro Conceal and Correct Palette

So have you seen that MAC is offering a pro concealing palette? If you are anything like me, you're a total concealer junkie!! It is one of my many weaknesses.

Here are the top 2 that I've used in the past and love.

MUFE has to to be my number 1.

I love that it goes on very smoothly and has buildable coverage. The only problem with this one...I have to mix #14 & #18 to make my perfect shade. What happened to 16 MUFE?!?!? LOL. Also, it dries quickly. There is no blending this baby after the first minute or so after application.









MAC Mineralize conceraler is awesome.


My color is NW45 and is perfect for me to wear alone, with nothing else. It dries to a matte but not dry finish, is also buildable and totally amazing!















My Pro Conceal palette just came in the mail, and I can't wait to give it a whirl. Look for a new video shortly...

 

Which are your favorite concealers??

Make your body think it's had GASTRIC BYPASS!!

I know that a lot of my recent posts have been regarding weightloss. This is totally where my head is right now. I've been fighting and fighting with it for years. So why stop now, right? I'm going to keep going until I find somethng that works for me and something that works for you. They don't have to be the same, we just need them to work, yes? YES!!

So this bit of info, I found in a Woman's Day (issue March 5, 2012). It claims that if you fill up on 10-15 grams of miracle fiber (resistant starch) that it will force your body to burn more fat and cause you to feel fuller faster. Well, what exactly are resistant starches? Here is a list that they had.

Food                              Grams of Resistant Starch
Slightly green banana                    13
ripe banana                                   5
1/2 C white beans                         4
1 C potatoes cooked AND
      cooled                                    3
1/2 C garbanzo beans                   2
1 C whole wheat pasta                 2
1/2 C brown rice                          2
1/2 C peas                                   2
1/2 C black beans                        2
1 slice rye bread                           1
1 C corn flakes                             1
1 C oatmeal                                  1

Added benefits of resistant starches:

1. They help prevent diabetes
2. They soothe your belly by boosting good bacteria to reduce bloat and gas
3. They help fight precancerous cells in the colon.

Now as usual, you need to modify your diet, low in sugar and starch. And of course you need some level of exercise. These tips will merely help boost your weightloss. Good luck. Let me know if it works for you.

7 Day Crash Diet

According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, you can lose 10lbs in one week by eating lots of high nutrient foods. Of course that's going to be mostly fruits and veggies.

Here is the plan:

1. Follow the 90/10 rule daily.
Fill up on fruits veggies  nuts, etc, and eat only 10% of dairy, meats, and sweets

3. Drink skinny shakes! 4oz pom juice 1 C strawberries, 1C ice, lemon juice. Helps lower insuline, glucose; filling, helps keep you UNbloated.

NO WORKING OUT DURING THE FIRST WEEK!! Wait until you feel well enough to do it.
