One of the facts I’ve found to be true time and time again when it comes to making positive lifestyle changes is that small steps can make a big difference.

Take the stairs:

You can take small steps towards a healthier you, literally. Not quite realistic if you work on the 42nd floor, but think escalators at the mall, moving sidewalks at the airport, that errand that’s a two minute drive away…skip all shortcuts and walk! You can also get a pedometer or smartphone fitness app that counts your steps and calories burned so you can measure your results.

Walk in Comfort All Summer with OTZshoes from The Shoe Girls-Giveaway

May 13, 2013 by Kathryn 164 Comments

I love great shoes of all kinds, but because I walk almost everywhere, comfortable, stylish walking shoes are one of my favourite types of footwear. I have a few different pairs of shoes perfect for a stroll through the streets of my small town, but I had never tried OTZshoes before. So when I got the chance to pick a pair of the Italian linen shoes to review, I was excited to see how they compared to the shoes I already own.

OTZshoes feature vibrant, fashion-forward colours, a unique stitched design that results in a minimal use of glue and a removable cork footbed. They are lightweight, have great grip and look very comfortable. The shoes tend to run a little small, so I ordered a 39 instead of my usual 38 to 38½ in the Maui Blue colour and the shoes fit perfectly.

Comfortable and Fashionable Spring and Summer Shoes from Skechers-Giveaway

April 25, 2013 by Kathryn 144 Comments

It’s been a long, cold spring in Saskatchewan but the forecast is finally improving and I am more than ready to ditch my winter gear! And this year, Skechers Canada is making putting away my winter boots even more tempting with a great collection of fashionable footwear for spring and summer that’s as comfortable as it is stylish!

Recently, Skechers gave me the chance to review a pair of GOwalk shoes, a perfect choice for spring, and a pair of sandals just made for summer fun. There were so many cute choices, but I eventually decided on the GOwalk Wavelength shoes in a Size 8 and the Rumblers Tangled sandals in a Black Size 8. The sandals I chose because I wanted a pair of sandals that was both dressy and comfortable and the Rumblers looked like the perfect choice. The GOwalks come in a huge selection of colours ranging from basic black to vibrant neon and frankly, I just couldn’t resist the chance to own a pair of rainbow shoes!
