Therafit Renee Shoes Review

A few years ago while at work I had a bad injury to my ankle. After an ankle reconstruction surgery, my ankle is good as new. The only drawback is that the area where my scar is at, gets irritated and makes work very uncomfortable. That means, no boots like I use to wear. I needed a good pair of work shoes. By the way, I have never mentioned what my career is on my blog. I am a police officer. Specifically, I am a Sergeant on Patrol.  
Yep, that's me.


Some days I am on my feet for long periods of time. Walking and sometimes running is part of the job. I wanted a good pair of work shoes that could take some of the stress off of my feet. I was really excited to try 
 I have tried many different types of work shoes since my surgery. The first day of wearing them at work I noticed that they were very soft on the inside. I had the control and stability that I was looking for in my work shoes. 

After several hours, my feet were not aching. After a 12 hour shift, my feet were not hurting at all. I have to say that these are the most comfortable work shoes that I have ever tried. 
The Renee Shoe is great not only for work but also for walking. Nurses would love these shoes and they do come in white. 



Therafit also has other beautiful and comfortable shoes.

A big Thank You to Therafit for giving one of my lucky readers a chance to win a pair of Renee Shoes!

New Orleans Spicy Remoulade Sauce

I have to admit it...I have an addiction to crab cakes with Remoulade Sauce. Not really, but I do love them. I have already shared with you my recipe for crabmeat stuffed flounder. You can't have crab without the sauce, that would be a sin. Another fun thing to do with Remoulade Sauce is to toss some fried shrimp in it and serve as an appetizer Hope you like it!

New Orleans Spicy Remoulade Sauce
2 cups of mayonnaise 
1 small jar Dijon Mustard or Creole Mustard
3 tbsp ketchup
5 tbsp horseradish sauce
4 cloves garlic crushed and minced
About a handfull of green onions that have been chopped finely
1 tsp Tabasco Sauce  
dash of cajun seasoning
dash of paprika

Place everything in a bowl and mix until well blended. Serve with Crab Cakes, Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Pickles, or anything you could put mayo on.

When I was contacted by Carolina Castile Soap to do a review I was really excited. What my family has known for a long time is that I love Castile Soap. I use it for everything around the house. 


I have two small dogs and a cat. Although we take care of keeping fleas off of our animals, we get fleas in the house. I had read that mopping with peppermint castile soap would help rid your house of fleas. I don't have carpet but I have a few rugs. There was no exact science to how much I used, but I filled my mop sink about half way with hot water and added about a half of a cup of Carolina Peppermint Castile Soap. After one week of mopping with the Carolina Peppermint Castile Soap, they were gone! It worked! 

Castile Soap has so many uses:
1. You can use it as a dish soap. I have found it works great on pots and pans. It breaks down the grease.

2. Vegetable Cleaner- I add 1 tablespoon of Carolina Castile Soap to 2 Cups of water. 
3. Hand Soap- I refill a foaming hand soap dispenser over and over again. 1 part Soap to 5 parts water. I love using the Lavender for this. Saves me bunches.

4.  This one is my favorite- Dog Shampoo! Dog shampoos are sooo expensive. Mix 1 part Soap and 2 parts Water. It works great! 
5. Household cleaner- In a spray bottle I add 1/2 cup of soap to 3 cups of water. I use it to clean the bathroom, counter tops, table, etc. They even have it in Citrus Scent. 

Did you know you can even use it as a laundry detergent? I just found out and can't wait to try it. Check out Carolina Castile Soap for more uses. 
Carolina Castile Soap has great prices and if you look for the logo..some items ship for free with a purchase over $10! There are several different scents and sizes. An 8oz bottle of Peppermint is only $7.99!

The wonderful people at Carolina Castile Soap is offering one lucky reader:
 One 8oz bottle of Peppermint and One 8oz bottle of Lavender.

OTZ Shoes Review

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this product, free of charge, from OTZ SHOES for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind,
 has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about them. As with any product your opinion my differ from mine. 



I was sent a pair of OTZ 300GMS Shoes for a review. The wonderful people at OTZ asked me to pick out the color that I wanted. With 27 different colors to choose from, it was so hard for me to choose. I decided on a neutral color, beige. I figured it would go with anything I would wear. Now that I have them, I want them in every color! These are the most comfortable and fun shoes. They are perfect for when I'm riding Piglet. 


They are made with Cork. This lets you wear them with or without socks. It reduces bacteria buildup and they are washable. All you have to do is remove the footbed. I love that these are made with a soft linen.  
 Here is a little more information about the OTZ 300GMS:


  • Italian made coarse linen has been stone washed for a completely unique look and feel.

  • Anti-microbial cork footbed is anatomically designed to promote a healthy posture.

  • Natural jute is co-molded with the rubber outsole.

  • Upper is stitched directly to the outsole creating a unique design with minimal use of glues.

  • Fitted with our patent pending CORKlite™.





Look how much Piglet love them!

The OTZ 300GMS are the perfect shoes for riding Piglet, shopping or really for anything. OTZ Shoes also have other types of shoes for men and women. Here are just a few:
