The Other Brand Shoes

All my life, I have searched for the Jimmy Choo. The one  shoe that fits perfectly, amazingly, and is all I have ever wanted in my life. I have ignored all other brands of shoes just for this Jimmy Choo.

Kind of like locking myself into a certain criteria of people I am willing to date and be with, and not even considering the other types of people that I may potentially come across. By criteria, I mean race, religion, ethnicity, values, traditions, education, family, friends, and the list could just go on and on. My Jimmy Choo has always been one that was the same race, religion, values, traditions, family, and educational background as myself. For my Jimmy Choo, I forsaked all other brands of shoes. However, is this right?

While I myself don’t know the answer to that question, I do however know that there are many things any one of us should consider before deciding. What is worth fighting for in the end? Sure love is important, and in fact essential to relationships. But we cannot naively assume anymore that it is everything. Therefore what are you willing to compromise for the sake of love? Religion? Race? Values? The other brand of shoes can promise many aspects of your Jimmy Choo, but the items that it doesn’t offer, is that compromisable for the sake of love? Essentially, when considering the other brands, make sure the differences are worth fighting for, and will not wear your love out.

At the end of the day, you just never know, perhaps that other brand of shoes could be better than every Jimmy Choo you have ever dreamed of. Just know what you’re willing to compromise. J

The TOMS Shoes: Walking the path of appreciation, kindness, and generosity


Communication is key. In today’s world of hustle and bustle, we are grateful for the tools that allow us to communicate. Texting, chatting, face-timing, iMessaging, BBM-ing, emailing, facebook and more have all become key cornerstones of our daily lives, allowing us to communicate with those we love, like, and even hate.

With the easy accessibility and variety of choices we have to communicate, are we truly appreciating those we communicate with or the technology that becomes the bridge?

The TOMS shoes remind us to walk on the path of appreciation, kindness, and generosity. During the hustle and bustle of life and this holiday season, we need to take it upon ourselves to ensure we are embodying all that the TOMS represent. We as girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses, lovers, friends, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, etc, need to take it upon ourselves to appreciate those around us. To spread the cheer, to create the domino affect that encourages more people to walk on the path of appreciation, kindness, and generosity. Thank those in your life, appreciate the ones you’ve taken for granted, and be generous with your time and relationships.

The TOMS remind us, our simple act of kindness, can impact the life of someone else tremendously. So lets take this as a reminder, lets use the many tools that we appreciate for bridging our communication, as tools to express our appreciation, kindness, and generosity.

This holiday season, let’s hustle and bustle in our best TOMS.

The New Mainstream Shoes


In a world where online dating has taken us by storm, there are those of us out there that are trying to resist the urge to suddenly don the mainstream shoes.

With entire world working together to make it easier to meet people, to make the world a smaller place, and making it easier to connect, are we really making a better connection? Are we really making it easier to find our soul mates… or is it just becoming a bigger and bigger pile to go through before we find our soul mate?

This new mainstream world is kind of like the chuck shoes. There was a point in time where every person you met had a pair of these really cute looking all-star shoes in all different colors. Unfortunately no one ever discussed the blisters, cuts, and uncomfortableness we all had to go through to break into these shoes. For the desire to become mainstream, we all donned these shoes, and ignored all the blisters, cuts, and pain we had to go through to wear them. Kind of like online dating, has the cost of finding our soul mate become so high, that the price we pay along the way has become worth it?


Whether you decide to mainstream or not, bottom line is, the search, the process, the blisters and pain, perhaps bring us one step closer to finding the person we are looking for. So to deal with the blisters and cuts, lets make sure we have our bandages on to prevent the cuts and scars, and always keep in mind that the decision to mainstream or not has a greater purpose behind it all. Sole-ful living :)

The Wedding Shoes

Summertime brings about one of our favorites seasons, Wedding Season! Whether we are single, married, looking, committed, or what have you, we all secretly in our heart of hearts love weddings! From dream shoes to dream man/woman, we have all thought about that big day and dreamed of it to be better than anything. So how do you really even know whether you are getting married to the right person for you or not?

Here is a tip, if you are walking down that aisle or waiting at the altar and suddenly while you are SUPPOSED to be thinking of how lucky you are to be marrying the person of your dreams, you have this thought, “I am making the biggest mistake of my life” or “shoot, I don’t know if I am marrying the right person…” and even if this thought is for the briefest instant, a good majority of people that have divorced, said they had this thought when they walked down the aisle or waited at the altar. I don’t know what percentage; it was some large 80% type statistic, but bottom line, if you have that thought as you are JUST about to get married… Do what you have to do, but realize that the signs leading up to point were all there.

Here are some tips to tell whether you are marrying the right person or not… Does this person understand you? How well do they understand you? How often and how much do you fight? Are you guys public in your fights? Does the world know about how many problems you have? Perhaps its not even the problems you need to watch for, because really what couple doesn’t face problems? Perhaps you just need a good look at yourself and ask yourself is this the one person I want to be with for the rest of my and be there for, for the rest of my life? Most important of all, listen to your gut instincts, we routinely ignore what our insides are screaming at us until we have no choice to listen, by then its too late. So listen to your gut before it’s too late. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t right.

Don’t forget, marriage isn’t simply a day, you may wear your wedding shoes physically on that one day, but don’t forget, those are the shoes you walk in for life.

The Nude Shoe

In today's fashion generation nude is the new color. It can be spiced up, sexied up, or casual-ed down. Nude makes a fashion statement and played right can take you from casual to special.

Nude goes with all things, and works in all areas... except if we are talking nudity. Nudity is good in only one place... the bedroom. Here is the thing, today the one thing that catches our eye about people we consider for relationships is how much sex appeal do they have. How much skin is this girl showing? How saggy are the guys pants? Is he wearing them too tight or sagging them too much? Is the girl's dress low enough or short enough? To the point where we dress to exacerbate our best bodily features but play down our best inner features.

We forget that there is a charm in coverage and a charm in people that don't need to spruce up their sex appeal just to get attention. Nudity is not the only way to attract attention. In fact the only attention it attracts is the lets get nude together kind. Not the let's get to know each other kind that leads to relationships. Not the kind that puts your personality and kindness on display.

Nude is nude, and absolutely fashionable and great for style. Nudity however is not. Classy relationships have charms in things that are covered and not on display.



classy ^^


trashy ^^

Mismatched Pairs of Shoes


Have you ever found yourself so stressed out in the morning, getting ready for work, not realizing that you put on two different pairs of shoes?

Happens to the best of us. Except now we have the dilemma…which shoe were you trying to wear in the first place? Now your outfit is sending mixed messages to you, to the world, and no one has any clue what fashion trend or style you were trying to pull off.

Just the same, mixed messages in a relationship, or in dating, or when just starting to talk to someone, is never a good sign. We’ve all been there, done that. Maybe even sent a few mixed messages ourselves. If you are trying to figure out if someone likes you or not and keeping needing to justify or clarify what is or what could be, and don’t have a concrete answer… mixed message. If you are trying to figure out if your partner is cheating and suddenly find yourself making excuses for suspicious behavior… mixed messages.

So what to do with all these mixed messages and mismatched shoes? Drop it like it’s hot. You don’t need someone in your life that can’t clearly articulate they want you in their life. You don’t need to deal with someone that is unsure of what they want when you are sure of what you want. Change the shoes, change the outfit, and change the style.

And always remember don’t make someone your priority, when you’re only an option.

Shoes, So to Speak?


Online dating has taken our world by storm these days. The very soles of the relationships that we are seeking today start off at the heels of the technological world. Gone are the days of in person connections and love letter writings. Today, its all about emails, texts, online dating, and other social networks that have brought the world together and made it smaller and larger all at the same time.

So imagine this, you’re out on the prowl one night, and you’ve got your best shoes on and your hottest outfit on. You’re single, ready to mingle, and the world better watch out because you’re out to win. You bump into the perfect someone, 10 on 10, amazing, dressed to match your every style. Then you look down, and notice the laces of their shoes undone or the straps of their heels unbuckled. Automatic illusion shattering. The individual could trip and fall and no longer are they classy and put together.

In the same manner, online dating and networking, someone can have an amazing profile, an amazing picture, and could be the 10 on 10… except when you message them and suddenly they talk in slang. If you are spending more time deciphering the slang that they are talking to you in than processing what they are actually trying to say, you’re going to loose interest fast. Talking in slang breaks the illusion of the 10 on 10, and gives off the shoes unbuckled and too careless to lace. It gives off the vibe that someone will be too careless with you as well. As casual as they are in the language they talk to you in, is how casual they will be in your relationship. Using proper grammar and full sentences show that you are taking the time and effort to get to know someone, you want them to know and understand what you are saying without needing to decipher. You want them to process you and not your language.

Shoes, so to speak, can say a lot about a person. So can your language, so to speak ;)

The Booty Shoes


The shoes you put on after 9 pm, are never the shoes you stay at home with, they are the shoes that I like to call booty shoes.

How do we distinguish between people in our lives that call us because they are genuinely interested in us and people that just want us for what we so famously call the “booty call”?

Of course we come back to our favorite description, the shoes you wear so late at night are never going to be your home slippers. You wear your hottest heels or your nicest pair of dock martens out to impress and to flirt and have fun. In this same sense, anyone that hangs out with you only at night, or calls you only at night, is not someone you wear your home slippers with. They are what we call the “booty shoes” or the “booty call”.

Anyone that does not take the effort to get to know you when you are wearing your home slippers, is not someone who deserves to see you in your hottest pairs of heels or nicest pairs of dock martens. They care for one thing and one thing only, and that’s booty. They only care to see you look your best, at your best, so why should they get the best of you?

We’re worth more than our best pairs of shoes, and if we are distinguishing between who is a “booty call” and who is a worth more, then we should keep in mind those that make the effort to spend time with us in daylight, get to know us other than the wee hours of the night, are the ones who are truly worth our time, effort, friendships, and energy. And worth our hottest pair of shoes :)

The Ever-Changing Favorite Shoe


Throughout your life you’ve had a pair of shoes that have been your favorite. Anytime you wear them you feel amazing, look great, and feel great. However, every shoe has a life, and once the life of the shoe is worn out its time to throw them out and find yourself another pair of favorite shoes.

Just like relationships and people that enter your life. For sometime they maybe your favorite person to be with all the time and you may never be able to imagine life without your favorite person. But as we all know, change is constant, and not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever. Or be your favorite forever.

So remember that the universe has bigger plans for you than those you have for yourself. You can’t take everyone with you. Send them off with love and well wishes and access to their own plans but send them off nonetheless. Not everyone is a friend but nobody is an enemy. Not everyone belongs in your heart but nobody is heartless. Just hurting. Allow them their hurt. Don’t let them hurt you.

And remember to continue on your journey, even if your favorite shoes are too broken and beyond repair to accompany you. Because in the journey ahead the conditions are rocky and we all deserve a pair of shoes that can protect the soles of our feet through the climb.

The Shoe That Doesn't Quite Fit...


This shoe is perfect. Perfect in every sense, look, style, height, except it doesn’t quite fit. We all know the kind of relationship I’m talking about here, the friends with benefits, no strings attached relationships. Because these relationships are perfect in every way but they just don’t quite fit and at the end of the day, you don’t have the shoe or a relationship that fits you perfectly.

You’re perfect for each other, you get each other, you’re best friends, you can talk for hours, sex or hooking up has chemistry that is plain just off the charts. So if it’s all that great why aren’t you in a relationship? Friends with benefits or NSA has become a recent trend these days that most people find themselves in. And sure it works great…for what the first week? You don’t have the same level of commitment that you need to have in a relationship, you can meet up or call each other whenever you want, and you don’t even have to be exclusive. Just like that shoe that doesn’t quite fit. You can deal with it at first, but eventually your toe being crushed all the time doesn’t sound as appealing and the shoe stops looking appealing altogether.

Then god-forbid, you suddenly start wishing that your shoe actually did fit! It suddenly loses it perfect charm, and you realize that your feet actually remember how painful it was to wear it last. That is the problem with Friends with Benefits or NSA relationships, one person will always end up wishing that the shoe actually did fit rather than continue smushing their toe in a shoe that doesn’t quite fit. To keep wearing these shoes just means blisters for your toes, aching feet, and eventual hatred for the shoe that keeps hurting you, no matter how great it is.

Save yourself the trouble, if you find yourself wearing shoes that don’t quite fit, and your other half doesn’t want to help you break them in... well, toss the shoe out. Cause if you keep smushing your toes in shoes that don’t quite fit, how will your feet ever find the shoes that do fit in very way you need them too?

Slippers&Shoes


The slipper and shoe, different as day and night. One seeks to keep your feet out in the open and the other seeks to enclose, yet both can be comfortable and excellent pairs of shoes. Must haves in every closet right?

Well like a slipper and shoe, relationships come in all sorts of different styles and purposes. There are multiple ways to look at this, biracial relationships, bicultural relationships, bi-religious couples, or even a couple that doesn’t have any racial, cultural, religious differences, but are as opposite as day and night! What do these all have in common? Well one is the slipper and the other is the shoe. But does that mean they are not comfortable shoes? Absolutely not. In fact, maybe that’s the beauty of their relationship, the fact that they are so different yet both so comfortable. Comfortable in their own soles.

Speaking of being comfortable in your own soles, these relationships are very special. It takes a special type of comfort to be able to open your world to someone who is not like you, yet you’ve managed to find a connection with him or her. First and foremost in these relationships, be comfortable in your own sole, and in fact, accept your differences. Respect your differences, and create a culture, a religion, or a race you want to practice with your significant other.

You are important. Where you come from will never leave you and will always guide your life, therefore, accept it and understand it. Create a value system, or a culture within your own relationship that you want to maintain. You are very lucky because you get a chance to create and celebrate the best of both worlds in your life. Take the good things from your differences, and make them important in your relationship. Celebrate each other; celebrate the life you wish to create. Decide the way you wish to communicate with each other, because after all only the two of you know what’s the best way to be with each other.

In the end, it’s all about a sole-full life isn’t it? :)

Walk through life with a Jimmy Choo


Debating between a pair of shoes that you love is always hard, especially when you have a choice between a really hot, amazing, one of a kind pair of Jimmy Choo’s or a brand-less cute shoe that looks alright but comes for a lot cheaper of a price than a Jimmy Choo.

So what to do? For the one that’s affordable, easy, and nice or the one that is the best, amazing, and hot, but yet so much more difficult to obtain and more expensive?

It depends on what you’re looking for actually and whether you feel the challenge is worth the price. Selecting a brand-less shoe vs. a Jimmy Choo is much like choosing a partner for a relationship. You have the option of deciding whether to be with someone just because it’s easy to be with them and it’s easy to just fall into a pattern but maybe is not worth your time and energy. Maybe you aren’t as invested and only with them because it’s easy. Or you have the option of choosing someone that is a rare find, and requires work to afford, but when you’re with them you know this is it, you know its worth every price you’ve ever paid.

You are special. You are someone worthy of being with someone that is a Jimmy Choo. You are someone whose time, energy, and life are precious. Who you spend your time on, and whom you spend your time with should always be with people you never feel it wasted on. Therefore, the Jimmy Choo will always be difficult to find, difficult to obtain, and may require you to work to make a long lasting, happy relationship. But in the end is worth every penny of the price listed. Because really in the end, you want to walk through your life wearing the Jimmy Choo’s not the brand-less shoe that may or may not last you in the long run.

Every Shoe Has a Charm of its own...


Every Shoe has a charm of its own…


Too tall, too short, too pointed, too rounded, too many laces, no laces, pretty color, ugly color, etc etc etc….

How many times do we find ourselves criticizing the people we meet in life based on what we see? Too many times and too often we pass up some great people because we have decided we don’t like what we see at first.

Every person, and every shoe has a charm of its own. Like an Ugg boot. They are quite possibly the ugliest shoes anyone has ever come across, they are mainly brown, plain, and make your feet look really big. But you get a little closer, and try one on, and instantly you fall in love. You’ve never felt anything softer, or more comfortable than an Ugg boot.

Which is why, we must be individuals that take the time to discover the charm in others. Discover why each person may be special; to understand that if the surface doesn’t appeal at first, it doesn’t mean the inside will look even worse. In fact, you never know who you could discover by giving that person a chance. Maybe you might find something you’ve been searching for all your life.  :)

“Finally letting go of that old beat up shoe...”

You know the favorite shoe of yours, that you’ve outgrown, worn out, and have been ready to throw out for the longest time, but just can’t seem to let go of?  Well it’s kind of like the relationship you’re still holding onto. It’s gone sour, there is no sole-life left in it, but you still find yourself hanging onto the hope that someday, somehow, your ex will magically wake up the next morning and change. They will do everything right, and it will all go back to the beautiful days of your relationships. Like an old shoe, your relationship has travelled quite a rocky journey that has caused it to become old, beaten up, and damaged beyond repair. So what to do to finally help you let go of the past?

First and Foremost moving on is not forgetting. Trying to move on does not mean you need to forget the good times you had or that you need to erase those from your memories. It is after just not possible to do that. You had great times with this person, acknowledge that, and respect that. But just because you had some great times in the past, does not mean you need to keep holding onto a relationship or a past that is no longer here. These memories do have a place in your life, that place is in the past. There is no need to ruin your present and future by letting your memories come into your present and future. Use those memories as a guide, as a standard, as a way to draw a line of good times, and live above that line of standard. Use those memories of good times to learn, to grow, to better understand what you need and want in a relationship. Just like your old shoe, its taken you to some great places, helped you walk through some tough times, but frankly speaking it does not change the fact that shoe shelf life is over.

“Out of sight, out of mind.”- Cold phrase, but holds so much weight. I am not saying that you cannot be friends with your ex. Everyone works differently. And some of you may even be able to be friends with your ex at some point in the future. But right now? You need space. You need to grow and heal without your ex. That really means no phone calls, text messages, instant messages, emails, etc etc. This is probably the hardest part about letting go. Especially when you come across things that routinely remind you of that person. You want to email them an article you read, or text a funny joke, or just some company when you are bored. Unfortunately, this has to stop. How will you discover who you are, and what you need, if you are still thinking of the person that you shared your life with? The only way to truly heal is to give yourself some time and some space to discover new things, to develop a new routine, and to find joy in your life again. You know you are ready to be friends with an ex again, when it stops hurting, when you can talk to them or run into them without feeling like salt is rubbing the wounds in your heart. Without feeling like you are being stomped on again and again. Listen to your heart here, it will tell you quite a bit when its ready to look at the possibility of being friends again.

Reconnect with old friends, new friends, relatives, and basically anyone (except your ex) that makes you smile, makes you laugh, and makes you feel supported. Time to bring on your entourage and go shopping for new shoes. Window shop, shop, but basically, go out and have fun. Enjoy the life you are given, and be with the people that can support you as you try to move forward with your life and relationships. The more you surround yourself with laughter, the easier it will be for you to get through each day.

Spend time with yourself. Get to know you. Life is going to be lonely if you can’t enjoy your own company. This may be the time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time to do. Take up a hobby of your interest, learn to enjoy your own company. Believe me, this is something that holds great value not just out of a relationship, but also in a relationship.

Only time will determine when and how you’re going to move on. Sure, it might not be right away like you want it to be, but eventually one day you’ll wake up and realize that somewhere along the way, that piercing feeling you’ve been feeling inside your chest faded and went away while you were too busy living life to notice.

Besides… letting go of an old shoe makes room for a new and improved shoe :)

When you move, you take your old shoes with you...

We've all reached a point in our lives where its time to move on, and it's that time to get into a new relationship or start dating again. When you move though, you carry your old shoes with you. Like they are skeletons in a closet.


Unfortunately all of us have been in that relationship or dating experience that has left scars on our hearts, and have consistently gotten in our paths to new found love and better relationships. So what do we do with the scars of our past, how do we move on and make room for the old shoes and the new shoe(s) to co-exist together?


First and foremost, address and understand your "old shoes". Know what your scars are, why they are there, and what you need to do to avoid making the same mistakes. Learn from your past, and take the lessons you have learned and apply them to your life right now. Why go through all that pain and heartache if the hard-learned lessons cannot be applied right away? Spend some time with you, and understand who you are as a person in and out of a relationship.


When getting into a new relationship, how honest should you be? Well your previous relationships and dating days have changed you. Those experiences have impacted you and have changed the way you interact with your new partners. Interestingly enough you use the lessons you've learned to change how you interact now, when in retrospect you're changing yourself based on how you think you should have interacted in the past. Your old shoes are already influencing how much and often you interact with your new shoes. Your new shoes haven't even gotten a chance to really get comfortable with you because your old shoes are projecting so much!


So be honest. Be clear. Be open. Your current partner or significant other doesn't need to know every last detail of your past. You don't need to share with them how often you had sex, or even your inside jokes. But you do need to be honest. Be honest about what is holding you back, be honest about where it hurts. Help your partner understand who you are and how you got there. Your past is a big part of how you became who you are today. If your partner doesn't know why you are nerve-wrecked to take your relationship to the next level, how will they be able to accommodate you? Be smart enough to acknowledge your own mistakes in your previous relationships, because this tells your current partner that you have put in a lot of time and thought into your previous relationships and can acknowledge that mistakes are a two way street. It also tells your partner that you are willing to acknowledge your own faults and are working towards becoming a better person. They will love you because of this and not inspite of this.


Being honest also makes your current relationship better. It gives your partner an insight into who you are and how you became who you are. They learn to appreciate you better for it, and respect you for it. And a good partner, will work harder to make sure they don't make the same mistakes as your partners from the past. They will understand what your deal breakers are and won't be surprised if those issues come forward in your current relationships.


In a closet full of new and old, there is always room for your old shoes and new shoes to co-exist together. It definitely takes some readjustments, and some space rearrangements, but nothing that a good honest to do space evaluation and shelf space cannot fix. :)

A New Pair of Shoes is like a New Relationship...

So you've shopped around, tried on many different pairs of shoes, and finally, just finally come across the SHOES. The Cinderella Glass Slippers of your life. They look amazing, and you feel absolutely amazing in them. Except, they are new and well we all know a new pair of shoes need to be broken into before they can be comfortable enough to wear all the time.


Much like a relationship, you've dated around, you've tried on many different pairs, some great, some not so great, and some down right ugly. Then comes along the "one" that you want to try a relationship with. It's great in the beginning, all beauty and excitement. You have a lot of hope at this point, and will do anything to "break into" the relationship so that you guys can be a comfortable fit for each other. Much like our Cinderella shoes. :)


With a new pair of shoes, you can always bandaid your feet, and you can always find heel protectors and slips to help support your feet. What to do in a relationship?


It's about learning to support each other. Learning where your partner requires your support and encouragement. Do not underestimate the power of an encouraging word and even silent support. Deep friendship is the key to making any relationship sustainable and long-lasting. Understand your partner, be their best friend. One of the textbooks I read over the course of my program, 7 Principles for Making a Marriage Work by John Gottman, found that relationships that survived no matter how horrible the fights, survived because of each partners deep friendship with each other. While most of us may not be thinking so far ahead as marriage, the book brings up a key point.


Love is a beautiful thing, and we've all heard the saying, "Love conquers all..." or something quirky as "love is all there is" and blah blah. While I agree, that love is important and necessary to the mix, it is not the only thing. Unfortunately, we live in a world today where the phrase "love dies" is also a reality. However, we all know love and relationships don't die a natural death. They die because they are malnourished. These are thoughts to keep in mind as you start a new relationship. The patterns and ideas that you begin your relationship with can become tainted if you don't make the conscious effort to maintain your relationship. It's a relationship that you cannot slack from. Love needs constant maintenance.


So if deep friendship is the key to relationship success...how do you go about building that?


Get to know each other, spend time with each other routinely, listen and talk to each other without judging. Be honest, be open, be clear. Be you. Don't try to hide who you are because your partner needs to be friends with you, the real you, not the you that you are hiding behind. Support each other, take interest in each others interest. Do things as a couple. Fight. These may all sound like the usual things you hear, but take these things, and put in the effort to put your partner first. Learn who your partner is, learn who you are supporting, learn who you are in a relationship with. Take the time to do things in your relationship that fulfills you and your partner. Make each other comfortable. Establish who you are and don't expect anyone to change for you. You aren't going to change, why expect your partner to change? And keep this general rule... if you won't treat your friends a certain way, don't treat your partner that way either.


Breaking into a new pair of shoes is like breaking into a new relationship. You need to have the support each other and be with each other enough so you can break into it and wear it comfortably.


and really... if all else fails, get yourself a hot pair of shoes! :)

Why Just Shoes?

Well, first and foremost, welcome to my blog!


To introduce you to my world and to "Just Shoes", let me start by telling you this is not a blog about shoes! In fact this blog is really about relationships and love and how when all else fails in life, shoes are the cures to all you got :)


Love and relationships have continuously inspired me all my life, to the point that I decided to make a career out of it. :)


About the blog... This blog is to offer my viewpoint, my advice based on my knowledge of relationships through my education and experiences, and to offer more information on relationships and love, and to provide insight on subjects related to relationships and love.


From being single, to taken, to being in love, to falling out of love, to meeting parents for the first time, to breaking up, I want to be able to offer advice and insight on it all. These are of course my opinions, so in no way shape or form am I trying to offend anyone or represent someone. If you have suggestions for topics you would like to see, please message me!


Remember, when all else fails in life.... shoes cure all! :)
