You are only 40 once and 40 is the new 30! I have never been fussed about going big to celebrate my birthday nor have I had a birthday bucket list before 40. But when I heard that Hotter shoes was offering a couple of bloggers the opportunity to test out their Chase shoes, I jumped right into it! I have always known that Hotter make really comfy, durable shoes. The reason I know is because I have been wearing the Dew shoes almost every day for two years and its still wearable although the soles are worn.
Time has passed so quickly and now we are welcoming 2019! This will be a very challenging year ahead as we are buying a new house soon and Mr K will be going to ‘big’ school in September. The year before, we made a big decision to sell our ‘forever home’ to move closer to Mr K’s big school as we wanted the best school for him. It was not an easy decision as it involved tying ourselves to a bigger/longer mortgage and moving away from our nearby friends.
This August, I am getting active with the Hotter Leanne shoes! Since we moved into the rented flat, I have been doing more walking than ever before and with this warmer weather, having a comfortable shoe for walking is a must! That’s why I will always choose Hotter as they make shoes that feel as comfortable as slippers!
Before we moved house a couple of months ago, I used to rely on my car for most of my journeys as we lived far away from the city centre and the supermarkets. Now, living next to the town centre at approx. a 3 minute walk away, I have no excuse!
The wait is finally over! Now you can get comfy on the dark side with the Star Wars Galactic Robe and matching slippers! To celebrate the release of the Solo: A Star Wars Story, Mr C is thrilled to receive these matching robe and slippers! If you prefer to channel your inner Obi Wan-Kenobi, then do check out the Star Wars Jedi Robe which is also available in Argos.

Their shoes are made with anatomically shaped foot beds which mould to the feet with an extra layer of memory foam.

The beauty of autumn makes it one of my favourite seasons especially when the trees rain down red, yellow and orange leaves. It’s also the time to get your winter coats and woolly jumpers out! To get ourselves ready for this autumn, Mr C has picked a waterproof jacket and a hoodie from Jacamo.
For the last two months, we have been testing out these start-rite Mary Jane school shoes for Ms C to see how they fare. Have they stood up to the test? Have they been keeping Ms C comfortable and will they keep going into the new school year? Yes, it has and it should!
