DIY: Rubber Shoes Makeover

Even before SY 2011-2012 ended, Alex was already complaining about her white strap-in rubber shoes. She said the fit is already tight. So we shifted to her black laced rubber shoes.

A few weeks ago, we went to the mall with the goal of buying her a new pair of rubber shoes. It was a huge success! We bought a high-cut pair with a design that she loves.

Then came SY 2012-2013. She enrolled in a new school. And this new school does not allow laced rubber shoes. The reason behind is that sometimes pre-schoolers play games that make them remove their shoes. If they are using a laced rubber shoes, it will take a lot of time to wear them again. Makes sense.

Alex has a pair of tight-fitting strap-in rubber shoes and two pairs of laced rubber shoes. It is simply impractical to buy another rubber shoes for the school. So we agreed that we will DIY the old black rubber shoes to make it lace-free.

This is the finished product.

We are looking for other materials like gems and stones to glam it more.

Beautiful Engagement Rings

Every woman’s dream is probably to spend the rest of her life with the person she loves the most and her engagement day will be one of the most memorable days in her life. I remember my engagement day as if it was yesterday. Men who can afford it should buy a diamond engagement ring because for sure his bride will love it. There are diamond rings that are intricately designed while there are others which are simpler. No matter what the bride’s choice is, it is a must that the ring suits her personality. Always keep in mind that there is a budget to follow and that the cost of the ring is not really that important.

New Ballet School Year is Coming

I just received a text message from Alex’s ballet school. The new school year for ballet is coming. Hubby and I have already decided that Alex will not yet go back. We will let her adjust first to her new big school, her schedule, her load. I will have do go through a lot of adjustments too since I am the one looking after her and Maxyn.

Actually, other than ballet, we are thinking of encouraging Alex to enroll in music class. We want her to learn an instrument or two. It might be expensive but we will never know she has a talent if we do not let her try right? Personally, I am interested in violin or saxophone. These are unusual instruments here in our country and I think they are very classy. No worries if we will have to buy berg larsen tenor mouthpiece in the future, as long as she is into it.

In due time, I will ask her what performing arts and music she likes best.
