Frye boots are an investment!

By investing I mean investing in your comfort, looks, and health of your foot. First let me tell you I have bunions that make shoe fitting worse than a bikini fitting. I mean imagine trying on bikinis after New Years with all the extra turkey pounds and unshaved bikini line...yes, that ugly. So when I first slipped on these boots I felt an instant love and connection that is only experienced when a puppy falls asleep on your lap. I walked over to the full length mirror and the world stopped. It was just me and the boot on. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I walked around thinking that my feet would hurt or something, but it did not. Instant love, instant comfort. I wasn't even heartbroken when I saw the $350 price tag because I knew a boot this awesome is not for everyone. Only for people who like to be treated like a queen from a boot. I purchased them a few weeks later since I had to make the case to my husband (who buys his shirts from WalMart) about WHY I had to have these boots. I wear them all the time with just about anything. They are extremely comfortable, even after hours of walking. I get so many compliments and jealous looks from them that I have to be careful not to wear them around unmedicated bi-polar drama queens. Now, I said these boots are an investment because of the comfort and you won't be wasting your money paying a podiatrist to fix your feet. Trust me when I say you won't regret purchasing these boots. Maybe your utility bill might be late or your might go hungry for a few days, but it's sooooo worth it.

Apple Cidar Vinegar

I started the ACV drink a couple years ago, but never stayed regular with it because of the straight taste/smell. Yeah, I know I KNOW...add some honey, sugar, blah blah blah...but I just got too lazy. I told my friend about it and she has been taking it regularly since because it keeps her healthy, where as before she was always getting sick with something nasty.
But since I started working a 8 hour desk job 2 months ago, my weight is slowly creeping up, even with working out 3 times/week and being fairly healthy in my eating. So I am giving this ACV a try in addition to all the other stuff I am doing to see if my love handles will stop loving me so much.
However, I have been reading these Amazon reviews on Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar and they all sound the same (This stuff cured my dandruff; my face is clearer; heartburn is gone, I no longer spit out fire like a Shanghi dragon; my pants are fitting better; I took it to the middle east and now there is peace there). Seriously, they all sound the same. Not only that, the grammer is the same. I have read enough Amazon reviews to know there are alot of people tht r just too lazy or dumm to rite sentences that are at least acceptable on a third grade level. All the positive reviews have the same good grammer, enthusiasm about the product, and some Heinz bashing as well. I just hope it's all true and it's not some scheme by Braggs to boost their reputation.
I gave the product 3 starts. So why 3 stars from me? The first star is for my friend who claims it keeps her healthy, and she is a hypochondriac. The second star is because I actually like ACV on my food...I just don't like it straight. The third star is because I did drink it today with lots of water and it didn't taste as bad as I remembered it. It tastes like distilled purified water that came from a sewage plant in Bangladash. I know that is confusing because I say I do like ACV on food, but then I get images of Deepak Chopra's childhood neighborhood when I drink it.
With all that said, I promise to drink it every day for the 3 weeks starting Monday. Why Monday? Because this Sunday is superbowl and I plan on drinking lots of alcohol. I will also update at the end of the 3 weeks and let you know if my love handles have dumped me.
