I've heard that as well, Amor. I can wear low heels (i did for my wedding and they were fine) but lovely high heels are unfortunately a no-go.

Within minutes of walking in my favourite heels (admittedly they are 4.5inch heels but i've not had an issue in the past), my left big toe had gone numb and i was feeling almost sciatic pain in my left leg. I was so bummed as they are really beautiful shoes and make my legs look less like chicken drumsticks =D
 
I have weak back and always get pinched nerves but i am amazed that i can actually wear heels with no issues other than either blisters from them not being a good style for me, or just plan not being fit enough to wear them. Now that i am smashing the gym every week, i reckon i can take the heels on more frequently!
 
I made it an NY resolutions years ago to start wearing heels. I would bring flats to work to change into...just in case.
I started with 3 inches and with brands like Aerosoles. Heels should not hurt...eff that I suffer enough for beauty ;)

Wedges and stacked heels are easier to walk in.
I wear 4" to 4.5" heels on 4-5 days a week at work. I prefer dresses to pants.
I love the way heels make my legs look. The older I get the girlier I become.
I used to wear plaid shirts, carry a man's wallet and only wear chapstick in college. No wonder my parents thought I was a lesbian.

Recently a 87 year old patient said to me...As a gentleman and an artist, you have the loveliest legs I have seen since my late wife <3
 
Speaking of wedges, I just picked these up from DSW in both brown and black :D

Every time I wear heels, I damage my big toes and it can make my nails fall off :\ So I only wear them once every few months if necessary.
 
I cannot wear heels either except for a four-inch set from Nine West with good padding. Not stilettos, but close. They don't make them anymore. :( I'd get another pair for a rainy day if so.

I've run in them to test them out and did not bust my ass. My roommate has worn them without incident as well. I think it's a matter of shock absorption. They're basically neoprene with plastic soles. I can even drive in them (and I keep driving shoes in my car).

I'm really into boots or sandals if I have a good pedicure.

The nang nails are being saved for an upcoming wedding.
 
Good-looking feet are so easy and look absolutely gorgeous in open-toed shoes. I have a bit of a thing with feet so make sure that mine don't look like crap. When i had more disposable income (before house and other savings came into play) i'd get a spa pedicure once a month. I still do one regularly, but it's DIY. I treat myself to a spa-pedi maybe once every 8-10 weeks now?
 
I'm with all you girls who can't do heels- between my back and my weak ankles (which I twist all the time, in flats haha) I am just afraid to put them on!
I wish I could wear them though b/c I'm always seeing adorable heels, and I LOVE wedges.

OMG OMG OMG maybe this will be the perfect chance to try out a new US Shipping service (Australian based) - I read about it on a blog, it's called Shopping Affair.
Their rates seem a lot more reasonable that others I've looked into, at only $15 for 500g of product. I'll set an alarm on my phone to remind me to log on!

I cannot live without my UD Naked palette, and the colours are so pigmented I can't hardly get over it.. so much better than MAC and Inglot. :)

PS - YouTube update; I just uploaded my Third Subscriber Giveaway and I'm giving away some pretty awesome prizes. One item is a Jemma Kidd Makeup Palette worth $55.95, and another is a beautiful pink Australis blush. Head on over and enter, it will only take a minute - and I'd love for a BLer to win! ;)

PPS - I just converted the times, 8am LA time on Thursday equates to 1am Friday morning for me. :(

I entered as well, sorry for the double comment. I am so lost. I havent worn make-up in years. All my stuff has expired and I have no clue what is out there now. I need HELP. My skin care routine routine sucks too since I stopped wearing make up. But if I get a promotion I will have to start wearing make up again.
 
^Good idea, they do have good step by step guides. Theres LOTS of mineral makeup out there now that is cheaper than bare minerals. I havent tried the others so I dont know if they are the same quality or not, but I do love my bare minerals, its just a matter of if you feel like spending the extra money. If you do decide to go with something cheaper I bet you can still find the BM guides online somewhere. The key thing is making sure not to use too much. Good mineral makeup has really good coverage, but that also means its easier to over-do it.
