Birthday Weekend in Paris with Hotter Shoes

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.

Petit-Fernand Products Review

How do you label your children’s school clothing? It is almost at the end of the school term and some of you might already be looking at getting stick-on labels or personalised stationery for your children. Most schools will emphasise how important it is for you to label your children’s clothing and their belongings so that the items can be identified! It is always shocking to see the mountain of lost and found items at the end of the school year without any labels.

This year, we were so fortunate to get in touch with Petit Fernand to offer us a range of personalised labels and products for review. Petit Fernand are a Bordeaux-based company that offers original, fun and easy-to-use products to help parents and please the children. Moreover, the best part is that all their products are 100% customisable so that they can match your children’s personalities. All their items are made from France and despatch within 48 hours!

Vionic Support Pregnancy

Vionic is a very well established leading global maker of consumer and medical footwear. They have been in the UK for over a couple years selling in Shuropody and other shoe retailers. Their shoes not only make your feet feel great but the shoes look great too!

Last year, I came across Vionic through a blogger event and found out what made them unique, and what the difference between them and other shoe makers is. What they offer is their unique podiatrist-designed support that is built seamlessly into classic modern footwear. The unique FMT Technology in Vionic shoes supports you from the ground up, it re-aligns the foot to its natural position to help prevent flat feet.

Heelys From Skates Co Uk Review

Most parents of primary school children will have come across Heelys and in fact, at my children’s school, it seems like every child has a pair! They are the trainer style shoe with the skateboard-like wheel in the heel. They are an ingenious, cool looking skate-shoe that enables children to transform an ordinary walk into a much more lively and interesting journey altogether.

Hotter Shoes Review

A few weeks ago, I was invited to a Hotter Shoes event to get to know more about their shoes and their company. I am ecstatic to learn that they produce their own shoes in the UK! In fact, they are the UK’s biggest shoe manufacturer and make a pair of shoes every 20 seconds. They started off making slippers and now they have grown to make shoes as comfortable as slippers.

Walking in Comfort with Hotter Shoe

Shoes plays such an important part in our lives. We walk in them, jump in them, they protect our feet, keep us warm and cosy. Picking the right shoe is like picking the right partner – the right pair of shoes will keep you happy and comfy for a long time.
I always have a hard time finding the right type of shoe as I have a wide flat feet. My husband Mr C always call my feet flippers. There are not many wide fit styles to be found in store or online. So I am glad that Hotter Shoe company found me instead and they do have extra wide shoes.
Who are Hotter Shoe?
They are based in the beautiful county of Lancashire. They have been manufacturing stylishly, comfortable footwear for over 50 years now – started off making slippers and now they make shoes that feel as comfortable as slippers! They have over 50 shops across the UK.

Draw, Wipe & Stick on Skribbies Shoes

Are your children bored of the same design on their shoes? Or do you have a child who simply loves to draw? Now Skribbies Shoes enable children to draw and stick stickers on them! They are a new and excellent product founded by young entrepreneur Jennifer Duthie.

She was inspired by the fabric paints of the 90s and wanted to develop a product for kids that was more versatile and would allow kids to keep on customising.

Me and my sandals

Summer is finally here. I finally get to say hello to my lovely sandals that have been hiding away for so many months! Last week, I got carried away on a shopping spree and bought five dresses plus a number of accessories for my family photo shoot! Now it is time to buy some sandals to treat my feet. Bring it on the Summer!
I love to do online shopping/research before I go shopping in store. Or if I’m short on time or they have huge online discounts, I will just get it online. I came across Hi-Tec and saw they have some lovely sandals. I like to get a few sandals for different occasions.
First up are the walking sandals:
