just bought THREE pairs of shoes. a decadent day, of course. but also, a practical move, if you can believe it, and a true "good-bye" to my youth. i have officially given up wearing heels. i have beautiful heels, but they are going to good will, no doubt to some 6 year-old who also wears size 5 shoes, so that she can play dress up with them. erggg.
so i bought a pair of flat rain boots, which will replace my adorable high-heeled wedge, gathered toe boots from ALDO. they are so great, but i am crippled for days after i wear them.
then i bought two pairs of flat performance shoes. no more heels, even when performing. especially when performing!!!

when i was at the mall, i stumbled upon a great health food/fast food place ~ called CAFE FRESH. smoothies and fresh juices, wraps and salads, soups and healthy treats. amazing! i had a "detox" juice, with veggies like spinach and carrots in it. so insanely good and so revitalizing!

i have been complaining for years about the fact that no one has thought of a fast food place that is healthy. thank you, oak park mall!!! i'm sure it's a chain and i hope it catches on. i hope some day, that you can pull up to a drive-through window and order a protein shake and a healthy, fresh wrap with a side of carrots sticks. WHY THE HECK NOT!!!!!
