... By accident, of course! If you know me, you know that I love shoes. Sometimes when I am walking through a mall or a department store, I literally have to make myself turn away from the shoe isles because I just can't make it through there without buying a pair! Maybe some of you share my addiction, and that's why I'm sharing this (sort of funny) story with you! Do you ever buy shoes that are just a little too tight (maybe just because they are new, or maybe they didn't have your size and you thought you could handle a smaller one) with the thought that you'll stretch them out? This seems to happen to me a lot and it usually results in putting my feet through a lot of pain just to look cute! That is, until I heard a fabulous tip for how to pretty much instantly stretch your shoes out!


And this is where the story starts... I heard that a great way to do this is to heat the inside of the shoe using a hair dryer! Apparently this is what they do with shoes at big fashion shows right before the models walk out onto the runways. So I decided to give it a try....it seemed to be working fine until all of a sudden there were sparks or flames or whatever it was inside the shoe!!! I thought I was going to have a heart attack!!! The shoes were fine, I guess I just got a little too close to them! However, this trick REALLY works! What happens is that the heat causes the leather to stretch out, and instead of having to wear the shoes a couple times to stretch them out, they stretch out right away! So, as long as you keep your hair dryer at a good distance from the shoe, you are safe and it's a great trick!!!

Happy Shoe Shopping, Everyone!Have a great weekend!
