My foot is now fully-healed and my experience taught me how important it is to wear appropriate and comfortable footwear. Having this in mind, I have here three of the recommended footwear for ladies which have proven to be comfortable. This includes the ones I've found at shelivo, an online shop that sells various clothing and footwear online. 

1. Sandals with Cushion and Arch Support

    First on my list is comfortable wedge sandals. This is because I find sandals easy to wear, and also sensible in most places. Even most workplaces these days allow the use of sandals for their employees. This includes the office where I am currently working for. Sandals are also easy to maintain and could last longer depending on how you care for the footwear. 

     I recently went shopping for a comfortable sandal, and the sales lady gladly walked me through the best ones I could find. I noticed that the ones she recommended have cushion lining in them and durable arch support. Looking into these things, I found that those refer to a corrective device worn in the shoe and so molded as to provide support for the natural arch of the foot. Not all footwear is created equal so if you want to have the most comfortable shoes there is, best consider those that have such support. 

2. Sneakers

      Anybody who doesn't have a pair of sneakers should have one. I believe this is something we can all agree. Sneakers are one of the most versatile and comfortable footwear there s that we could wear almost everywhere. Plus, sneakers are easy to style and its classic look makes them instantly elevated even when you're just sporting your regular shirt and jeans combo. If you're not a fan of heels, sneakers are better choices for you compared to wedge sandals.

3. Combat Boots

     I know there are a lot of comfortable shoes out there that we can consider, however, I'll stop at these three for now. The third and the last comfortable footwear on my list are combat boots. It's no wonder why it's the choice of footwear for military men. While it may take you longer to wear them, as long as you got one that's in your size, you could literally do anything while wearing your combat boots without leaving them behind. P.S just a quick trivia though, the most expensive shoes I have to date was a pair of combat boots from Dr. Martens. It was quite pricey but boy, how I felt invisible while wearing them! My imaginative mind also tells me that those would be my footwear of choice if I'd be running away from zombies. lol

     Of course, if I have to spend some time on a winter wonder holiday, I have to prepare not only my bank account but also my wardrobe for it. This is why I was looking into winter-appropriate outfits which are not only cute but also perfect for the cold weather. Included on top of the articles I've read are winter-appropriate footwear. Come to think of it, everything in my footwear collection is party, summer, office, and sports ready. I literally don't have a single pair that I could wear if I were to enjoy winter. This is why I've come up with this list of basic winter outfit essentials anyone should have including me.

1. Snow Boots

     Although snow boots may not look as fashionable as other footwear, This does not mean that you can't have something stylish. We are so lucky that there are now millions of snow boots in fabulous fits that would not compromise our comfort against the thickest snow. What I think would be essential though is something that is waterproof. I do have these waterproof combat boots from Dr. Martens before, and I swear, it's always going to be among my favorites. Also, who wants to go around shopping or do other tasks you love when your feet are feeling cold? No one. Below is a photo of casual snow boots that I've found online Ion a site called shelivo.

2. Wool Coat

      We can have different jackets that could cover and make us comfortable during winter but something that I think is essential is a wool coat. Wool coats are not only extremely comfy during the cold days they are also elegant-looking making them an easy way to spice up your winter look. For a more fabulous style, try collecting wool coats in different classic colors such as beige and tan apart from the usual solid black color. 

3. Faux Leather Leggings

        I love leggings even without enjoying the winter weather. However, if you are now in colder parts of the globe, I bet it would be a non-negotiable term to have faux leather leggings. Contrary to the usual leggings one often wears due to their valued comfort, think of faux leather leggings as a great way to elevate your winter fashion. Plus, this clothing would look really good on you whether you are sporting a simple cardigan or a more structured coat. 

4.  Beanies

      I've mentioned and it's already a no-brainer as to why you should keep your feet warm during winter days. But, don't forget to keep your head warm as well. Do this with the cutest beanies which you can sport in different colors and textiles. 

5. Scarves

     Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of scarves but I always find them as one of those classic pieces of clothing that you can flaunt and style for your winter #ootd. What's good about scarves is that they come in different styles, shapes, colors, and materials that you can play with by layering two or three different pieces depending on how you would like to keep yourself warmer or more chic-looking!

 1. Warm

Insulation is very important when choosing winter boots. You have to make sure that your feet are not only comfortable but also warm. Winter isn't always harsh though, so you still have the option to opt for an uninsulated pair. Don't forget to always be updated on the daily temperature before sporting your footwear outside during the winter season. 

2. Waterproof 

In general, many people love footwear that is made of waterproof material since it will help prevent one's feet from getting wet. It is also a good way to keep the feet free from bacteria as footwear such as winter boots are prone to bacterial growth if kept wet. Also, wearing wet boots will only make your feet feel colder. 

3. Has a slight heel and good ankle support 

Similar to choosing your high heels, taller winter boots can give you extra protection against high snow. Plus, it will also provide you with ample ankle support that is necessary if you are wearing a footwear such as boots. Wearing winter boots with a slight heel, not too tall and not too short, can give you a big shot against the cold steps where your feet could possibly land on. Just be sure to choose a pair with enough flexibility to you don't have to compromise comfort over protection. 

     Hello friends! I hope you're doing all fine. It's been a while since I've blogged about a makeup product that I had so much fun doing. Don't get me wrong, I still love makeup a lot and enjoy putting them on, except during the long lockdown at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when I didn't really have to go out a lot. Now that the restrictions have loosened up, I'm now able to enjoy putting full makeup on with one exception and that would be my lipstick. I still love having them on but when you have to wear a face mask most of the time, you'll have to give it up. 

    One makeup product that I always have with me is my eyebrow products. I would actually switch between my eyebrow pencil and my eyebrow gel. I love using both but recently, I've been using the eyebrow gel a lot as it stays longer which is really useful considering the summer weather that we are now enjoying in the Philippines.

    I got my eyebrow gel from Nichido which is a popular Filipino brand. It's nothing high-end if we are to look into the prices of their products, but a majority of what I've tried from them really works. If you're curious about its Japanese name, it's because the brand has some help from Japanese consultants. 

    Having been using the product for a while now, I thought about taking some photos of it and writing a short review about how it works. 

    And here's how I look like wearing the product. I know, I look tired as I didn't have much sleep when I took the photo but I just want to show you what the product looks like in natural light. My hair was still very dark when I had the photograph taken, but now that I am sporting a lighter shade, it still works well. Also, it lasts really long. I do apply a bit of eyebrow powder on top of it just to keep it within its shape, but it also works without it. 

    The product costs 291.00PHP. it was almost 5USD. Having used this for a few months, I do not have any issue with using the product. Considering how it works, I would say that I am satisfied with my purchase and I would happily recommend this to anyone.
