I love carbs and shoes.

I need to be pushed.  When it comes to exercising on a regular basis, I am not a prime example.  I've tried yoga, pilates, running, personal training, belly dancing, soccer, rock climbing (once, still can't find where I left my upper body) and an On Demand chair dance routine that I'm still ashamed appeared on my "Recently Watched" list.

This leads me to my newest kick, literally.  CKO Kick Boxing -- I am hooked after 2 classes.  As I struggle to lift my Blackberry because I just got a Facebook alert, I am happily reminded that I worked out today, and yeah, I can feel it.

According to LIVESTRONG, there are some huge benefits for ladies: stress relief (I envision old bosses and girls who eat bagels and are a size 2 while I smack the bag to next Tuesday), increased flexibility, tons of calories burned...

CKO offers a FREE class for beginners, you just need gloves.  All the mocha lattes, you got to do pilates... you get where I'm going with this.


Since I clearly don't shop enough.. you know between making Pandora playlists and trying to find the perfect, long last blow out, I rarely find time for my feet... Someone smack me, please.  Anyway, Sole Society, shoedazzle, and JUSTFAB are 3 companies that bring the toe candy right to your door!  I recently heard the term , "lady boner" and I really find it fitting for this situation.  Shoes, to my door, from my personalized showroom.. OK OK I'LL TRY IT. 

I went with shoedazzle because it is endorsed by an endowed Kardashian.  So far, I am pleased!  Suede, black, wedge, lace up booties.  Quality could be compared to Bakers -- Above Payless, below Steve Madden.  For the $39 price tag and convenience, I am satisfied as of month one.  More to come with my October selection.

Up next, Cheaptober for lovers.  Dating, saving and mangia-ing on a budget.
