Ok! I had Pho at lunch yesterday! I needed something warm. I had a sore throat. Am I sounding whiny? So what! Ha ha! I just needed it.

Day 5 was completely unexpected! Thank you Eliane @ Raw Juice Guru for this lovely surprise! Eliane risked life and limb getting this to me in the dark cold hours of this winter morning! We had ice form on the front steps overnight as a result of dripping water from the awning! Poor woman! She slipped and fell! I didn't get to try the milk thistle and cantaloupe (such a funny word) as that bottle smashed. I am just thankful Eliane is ok.
I felt terrible! Bastard awning!

Coconut water and mango = perfection!

Vibram - it only took me 4 years to decide to purchase

Yes! It's true. It took 4 years of deliberation...reading reviews, getting feedback from friends who took the plunge, to finally make my own purchase. Whew! I'm glad I have.

What will they be used for? I'm not a runner. But I am a fitness enthusiast who enjoys weightlifting and HIIT. I love plyometrics. So, although the Vibrams allow for that natural barefoot experience the pair I chose provides some lateral support. From years of training I know how to land softly and minimize impact.

They are a challenge to get on. But you do get the hang of it. However, I did wish that my toes were more intuitive and found their target spot in the 'finger' area a little easier. Best way to put them on is to have the shoes on the floor and then slowly guide your foot in.

I'm completely happy with this purchase. They feel so good on and are a fab addition to my workouts!
