(Some More) Favorite Things

Many of you know of my struggle with foot pain due to what has been attributed to bunions. In the quest to find supportive every day shoes that somewhat keep the pain to a minimum, I found Flux Footwear. Now I own 3 pairs: hot pink, black, and solid white. Huge fan! At first, I was a little uncomfortable about purchasing a pair of white shoes; however, so far, no catastrophes!

Also, I’ve developed a love for matte nail polish. Typically I do my own nails because my splurge is the pedicure. What I thought would look hideous turned out to be a favorite. As mini is a nail biter – and I also was as a child – keeping my nails painted aka protected is essential for their growth. Mini’s issue is she bites the paint right off of them. It’s a source of discontent but I have faith she’ll grow out of it. Probably.

Lastly, Gerber Daisies. Favorite flower. Just as many (including me) hold fast to traditions like black-eyed peas and cabbage on New Year’s Day, I also have my very own traditions. Although I can’t think of any at this moment. Nonetheless, here’s my newest: starting each new year with fresh flowers and what better flower than my absolute favorite?! I can’t stay up until midnight but I can wake up to a beautiful bouquet.

I know I had several other favorites to add to this post, but right now I can’t recall them. Another post for another day, surely.

  1. Favorite shoe brand – Altras.

    As a little kid, I bit my nails. I hated spicy stuff, so Mom put Tabasco on and under my nails to keep me from biting them. I stopped biting them quick!

    1. So I’ve been looking at the Altras. I tried a pair on (with one foot) and liked them – do you have a favorite style?

      Yikes, Tabasco?! I remember my parents using this nail bite polish stuff and it was awful but I continued biting them.

      1. The Lone Peaks are my favorite because they have the Original Footshape Fit, which is wider than the other two Footshape Fits. I heard they have a new manufacturing company, and so far the reviews on the Lone Peaks haven’t been great. I stocked up LP 6s when the 7s came out. I have a pair of their Escalante Racers as well for road and treadmill running. They’re almost too narrow for wide feet but they’re comfortable enough if I wear thin socks.
