Avoid platform shoes that have no arch. Like the picture below, platforms that are flat across that are over 2 inches get uncomfortable QUICK! Not only that, but the only way to walk is to stomp full-foot-down at a time instead of walking heel-toe, heel-toe like you would in normal shoes/sneaks/heels. And sometimes they begin to lift at the toe seam (or back heel seam, depending on how you walk). If you’re going for higher platform shoes, make sure they have some sort of arch support or something.

Specifically: buying shoes on the realreal. If you live in nyc and are like me, you’re probably really hard on your shoes. Remove the anxiety of scuffing a new pair of by buying someone’s barely worn ones. You get good quality shoes for a regular price AND you won’t be devastated when you trip up the subway stairs (couldn’t be me!!).
Also, yes, you can get trendy stuff but it’s not that discounted. Do some digging in nice brands that are known for making good shoes.
Pro tip: if you’re looking on depop or similar sites, know your Japanese (JP) or cm shoe size. Sometimes it’s just marked as CM on the tag. This is the size of your shoe in centimeters and is less arbitrary than other sizing systems!

Big Shoe wants to scrunch your feet into narrow shoes, don't let them win. buy some wide shoes, splay them doggies, use toe spacers.. take care of your feet!!!

My fav thing to do when I go clubbing and/or bar hopping is to create alter versions of me. one moment I’m a dentist the next i’m a stay at home with twins and it my first night out since they were born 😭 it’s fun, entertaining, and better when you get your friends in on it. Who’s gonna call me out? No one 🫶🏾 (I also do light research to really commit)

Remember you got to be:
1. hot.
2. sexy.
3. slutty.
4. alluring.
Go workout, put the fits together, start budgeting for nights out, stock up on sunscreen, and take your vitamins!

i feel a different kind of reset when I declutter and deep clean. the kind of cleaning where i (struggling btw) to pull out the fridge to get behind it and I’m on my hands and knees with an old toothbrush to get into the crevices unseen before but somehow has 6+months of accumulated dust & dirt. all my shelves are nice and neat with the labels pulled forward, my clothes are folded and hung identically, my carpets have been deodorized and have fresh vacuum lines, couch has been wet-vac’d, fluffed, and arranged perfectly. ceiling fans, shelves, books cases and tops of cabinet have been dusted, disinfected and wiped. All my dishes have been re-washed, the cabinets & drawers dumped out and cleaned, food sorted in toss(expired), donate, and re-shelf. Bathroom spick and span. I just love when i do a deep clean with my series of podcast, shows and music to keep me entertained in the background. I even gave both my cats a deep clean: de-shed comb through, bath, de-shed comb again, nails clipped and ears cleaned. the got the de-shed comb twice because I really did want them to trap hair on my freshly cleaned couch and carpets. my apartment smells divine with the fragrance I put on.
Now for my everything shower! today (Monday=BUZY with work) hurts less since I get to go back to my spotless home and cook a nice meal with a podcast on and my cats watching me.
