Feelgrounds Barefoot Shoes Review

*Ad – PR products

As a family that is always on the go whether that is dashing off on the school run, going on a long dog walk or exploring a forest one of the most important parts for us is being comfortable and having suitable footwear. Having worked in the shoe retail industry for a number of years I am big on foot health and in the last few years, I’ve been learning a lot more about the benefits of being barefoot (which I love to do) and wearing barefoot shoes. In fact, I tried out one brand for myself last year and was really impressed so when Feelgrounds contacted me about reviewing some of their adult’s and children’s barefoot shoes I was really excited.

This accessory makes your dog visible to you, drivers, cyclists, and other people on the street. In this article, we will discuss why a lighted collar is necessary, how to choose the right one, and what additional measures can be taken to ensure your pet’s safety at night.

How We Do a Secondhand Christmas

We all know the Christmas season can be expensive, but for our family, it can be even more challenging. With several birthdays packed into November and December — including our eldest’s on the 25th — it’s double the planning and double the gifts for us! In the early years, this made the holidays feel more stressful and costly but over time, we found a way to make it work by changing our mindsets and how we shop. Instead of heading to the High Street, we started shopping secondhand as much as possible. Not only has this saved us money, but it is also sustainable, the kids still get what they want (and often more), we find more unique gifts and the whole shopping experience is so much more enjoyable. Here is how we do secondhand Christmas and how you could too.
