Sole Serum: Fall in Love With Your Heels Again

Heels can be a girl's best friend and enemy. We ladies can pay a heavy price for looking cute. But I've found the perfect solution for you ladies who can't part with your heels.

I was recently given the opportunity to try out Sole Serum and I had no idea how much this would change my world! Comfort is very important to me. Sometimes it wins over looking cute I'm afraid. But after trying sole serum I may be sway my decision when picking my shoes out.

Sole Serum contains a blend of natural and active ingredients to relieve minor foot pain for up to two hours. It contains lidocaine which blocks the foot's pain signals from reaching the brain and helps with achy inflammation. It also contains natural ingredients to help soothe your skin and leave your feet feeling refreshed.

I just applied a couple of pumps to the area of my foot in pain when I was first starting to feel the pain. I let it dry for about 60 seconds. It has a nice cooling effect and then I slipped my heels back on and was off again. The discomfort was relieved within minutes.

I think the key thing to remember with this product is to not wait until your foot is already throbbing in pain, but to apply at the first sign of discomfort.

I definitely recommend keeping this product handy in your purse when wearing heels.

You can shop Sole Serum products here. For a limited time only purchase a 15ml bottle and receive a sample size for free. It's the perfect travel size! Or get two bottles for $39.50.

Not Your Average Bridal Show

Wedding season is fast approaching and I've already received save-the-dates for five! It's an exciting time because I get to witness some awesome couples tie the knot!

Even though I am no longer a bride-to-be, I enjoy all things weddings. I love seeing every little detail  put into one special day!

I was very excited when I was invited to attend a bridal show like no other... A bridal show alternative in the form of a Big Fake Wedding-- complete with a ceremony and a reception! "Wedding guests" get to experience tons of wedding vendors in action.

The fake wedding I'll be attending is on Thursday, March 5th at the Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah. What a fun venue!

I love this idea. Not only does it make planning a wedding fun, but it really pumps you up for what your special day will be! My favorite part about the big fake wedding is they ask real married couples to be the fake brides and grooms. How cool is that? The whole evening is filled with love, fun, and laughter.

I can't wait to take my friends, Mandy and Hannah, who both have weddings coming up later this year!

DIY: Donut Shoes

A couple of weekends ago I was feeling super crafty. Lily fell asleep early, which meant I could get uninterrupted painting in! My obsession with sprinkled donuts continues. I decided to paint a pair of plain jane flats and make them fabulous!

Here's a tutorial: Sorry for the bad lighting. Hubby was watching t.v. and the only light I had was the lamp above my kitchen table...I digress....

What you'll need:

Shoes (got mine from Wal-mart)

craft paint

small paint brushes

donut stencil (I used what I had. washi tape and hole punch)

pencil

plate to put the paint on

 

(I stenciled before realizing I should probably take pics)

Step 1: Using a pencil, stencil in the donut shapes on your shoes.

Step 2: Use the beige-y donut color and outline the donut outer circles. 

Step 3: Use the pink icing color to outline the inner donut circle.

Step 4: Use the pink paint to create the icing area of the donut.

Step 5: Use the beige paint to fill in the remainder of the donut.

Step 6: Use multicolor paint to create the sprinkles on the donuts.

Step 7: Let them dry and voila!

This was an easy project and I loved how the shoes turned out! If you are feeling crafty and use this tutorial to create your own pair of donut shoes, post them on Instagram and tag me @glitterandjuls!
