Dear Allie,Due to foot issues I can’t wear most stylish shoes. In fact, I now only wear [specific brand of shoe] which is a lace-up that looks like old lady shoes. They’re ugly but they give freedom to walk and stand for longer periods of time without pain. I won’t sacrifice my health and comfort…
As you know from a previous post, I got a haircut I didn’t expect or necessarily like. It has been a learning experience since then, trying out new products, tools, and methods to style the new ‘do. One of the biggest changes is I now have thick blunt bangs. With naturally wavy hair, it’s not…
