Hey there, foot care fans! Have you ever dreamed of soft feet that would make a cloud jealous, because those pesky fissures around your toes are giving you more grief than a Monday morning alarm clock?

I get it—I’ve been there too. Those fissures can turn a leisurely stroll into a hobble fest, making you feel you’re tiptoeing through a Lego minefield. ๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿงฑ

Not that there are any of those lurking in my home right now. My kids have all leveled up, so they successfully defeated that adversary! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ‘พ

Yet, here I am, still dealing with these fissures. So today, I’m jumping into Kneipp’s foot care lineup like a kid let loose in a candy store! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฆถ

Talking about sore feet reminds me of the time I had to trek up 11 flights of stairs with two tiny humans and a stroller full of groceries because the elevator took a siesta. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿง’๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿ›’

Talk about a workout! Props to the kind stranger who helped for a couple of floors, even if their superhero moment was shorter than a TikTok video. ๐Ÿฆธ‍♂️๐Ÿ™

Now join me as we navigate through the highs and lows, all the way to the bliss of soft feet with Kneipp. Just a sprinkle of humor and a dash of real-life foot struggles. ๐Ÿ˜‚✨

Let’s kick off our shoes and get ready for a journey into foot care, that is as fun as it is effective! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿš€

Oh, and did I mention? Kneipp Foot Care has had a makeover! Now with 100% recyclable packaging and less plastic. ♻️✨

Isn't that just the perfect reason for them to send me the goodies below in exchange for my dazzling review? ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ’‍♀️๐Ÿ˜

My opinion on the Kneipp Footbutter For Soft Feet

Ah, Kneipp Foot Butter, my new foot fairy godmother! Seriously, after just one day, I could feel my feet becoming softer than a puppy's ears. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿพ

Ah yes, trust me, I've got more fissures around my toes than a treasure map has X's. Skip this next picture if you are of a sensitive nature. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I'm not exactly head-over-heels for the scent. Still, who needs feet smelling like a rose garden, anyway? Then again, scent is like a bad haircut: it's all about personal taste, and you might just adore it! ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’‡‍♂️๐Ÿ˜„

Anyway, no more rough heels, toe troubles for me. Kneipp Foot Butter is my foot's new BFF. ๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿ’–

The Kneipp® Revitalizing Foot Bath Crystals, with 20% urea, gently cleanse tired and stressed feet, neutralize odor, and soften calluses. Our optimal preparation for subsequent foot care!

My opinion on the Revitalizing Footbath Crystals

You know, using Kneipp Revitalizing Foot Bath Crystals is like throwing a citrus soiree for your feet. ๐Ÿ‹✨

They cleanse, they hydrate, they freshen, and they soften. It’s the ultimate foot party, and your feet are the guests of honor. After one soak, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without them. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿค”

And let’s not forget the ultimate summer savior: these crystals are a lifesaver if your feet are totally overheated from a walk on a hot day. Another option could be to stay indoors. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ˜

My opinion on the Heel fissure cream

I am lucky to say there are no cracks on my heels, but the Kneipp Heel Fissure Cream turned my dry heels into a smooth sensation. It’s a heel-y good time, and my feet are ready to strut their stuff. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ƒ

Let’s talk practicality. This dry heels cream fits seamlessly into my daily routine. A little goes a long way, making it a cost-effective addition to my skincare arsenal. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿงด

Ooh, I just adore it when a product doesn't perform a magic trick and make all my money disappear! ๐ŸŽฉ๐Ÿ’ธ

I admit, I might be a bit biased about these foot care products, being a Kneipp superfan. Then again, soft feet, 100% recyclable packaging and less plastic have to sound like music in your ears. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฆถ๐ŸŽถ

My opinion on Hilde dress - new solid color model dress - pink

Talking about making a flamingo jealous, isn't this a beautiful pink? Perfect for color lovers. Right? I have dresses for summer and winter, and this dress is ideal for the in-between seasons. ☀️❄️๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘—

The modest A-line cut is elegant, and the thicker viscose-stretch fabric makes it perfect for transitional weather. The round neckline and 3/4 sleeves add a touch of sophistication. ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ‘—๐ŸŒค️

Picture by Seadbeady

The cute pockets and subtle textured pattern are charming details. The thicker material flatters the figure without clinging too tightly. It's suitable for various occasions, from work to weekend outings. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ‘œ๐Ÿ‘ 

It's unfortunate that the warmth today makes wearing this dress less ideal, yet in Belgium, the weather is famously fickle, often transforming from one day to the next. This unique clothing piece is versatile, stylish, and comfortable. Highly recommended! ๐Ÿ‘—✂️

If you've got a spare moment, how about indulging in the literary masterpiece that is my previous blog post about Tantilly? It's worth it, I promise—just like finding an extra slice of pizza in the fridge! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ‘Œ

Interview With Fashion Designer Diane Kroe

Hey there, fashion-forward friends! Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a fashion designer? Now what goes into making those super snazzy outfits you see strutting down the runway? 


Picture provided by Diane Kroe

Well, hold on to your glittery belts because today, we’re diving headfirst into the fabulous world of fashion design! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘—✨

Picture this: A bustling studio filled with colorful fabrics, sewing machines humming like busy bees, and one seriously stylish lady calling the shots. ๐ŸŽจ✂️

Doesn’t that sounds super cool? You guessed it! I am talking about myself this time. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰

Are you crazy? Then again, I have had my fair share of experience behind the sewing machine. I’ve had a few moments of mishap, but also some greatness. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ˜…

Still, I am no designer. I rely on patterns from books or magazines. Oh Yes, even those end up in disaster sometimes. Hey, isn’t that part of the fun?  ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ“š✂️

Now, join us as we explore the highs, the lows, and the sheer creativity that comes with the territory of fashion design! ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŽข๐ŸŽจ

Let’s kick things off with a couple of burning questions: What’s it like to be a fashion designer? And how does someone go from doodling dress designs in their notebook to strutting their stuff on the catwalk? ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿ‘ 

Sit down with us, and Diane Kroe, to uncover the secrets behind her incredible journey through the wild and whimsical world of fashion design. Trust us, folks, this is one interview you won’t want to miss! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŽฉ✨

What is your name, function and the company you own?  

Diane Kroe - I design and manufacture Travel Refined Fashion. If you love travel, packing light, or just want to feel comfortably chic and prepared for life’s wonderful possibilities, then I’m your favourite designer. 
  

What kind of work do you do?

I’m a fashion designer. 
 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer?

I met a fashion designer when I was 14 and knew right away that I wanted to be just like her. After school, I began working for her in her boutique, and when I graduated from high school, I began working at her factory and studied fashion at night school at Ryerson and Seneca. I became her assistant designer, and she taught me the business of fashion first hand.  
 

Is fashion important to you? Why?

Fashion is a universal language. It’s how we communicate with each other without using words. 
 

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

My greatest success is managing to stay in business for close to 30 years. Fashion is considered one of the most difficult industries in the world to be successful at. How I achieved this was learning the business first by working for others and minimizing my chances of making mistakes before I branched out on my own. 

In the world of fashion, mistakes can be very expensive. Also, I survived 3 recessions and a pandemic where fashion and food (restaurants) were the first to go out of business. 

I achieved this by recession proofing my business by minimizing overhead and maximizing profits by running a tight ship and never overproducing. I have mastered the less is more business model, and this reflects the aesthetic of my brand.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I also love to travel and discover unknown places. I enjoy shooting my designs in exotic locales and hope to find more time to grow this part of my brand by promoting destinations for my clientele to discover. 
 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?

I prefer discovering brands that are hidden treasures and mixing luxury brand pieces with the practical. I love fashion juxtaposition. 
 

Describe your personal style of fashion?

Less is More. Effortless elegance. A woman should never look like she’s trying too hard…especially today with plastic surgery and exaggerated body altering trends. Fashion is the same way, in my opinion understatement and maintaining a natural body aesthetic sends a universal message of quiet confidence. 
 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look?

When I was young, I studied in the National Ballet, then later modern dance and jazz … I fell in love with the flowing comfort of dance wear. My signature style is comfort and elegance. If I feel restricted in an outfit, I won’t wear it. 
 

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

Of course… everything I create is to make my customers prepared for life’s wonderful possibilities in both comfort and style. 
 

Picture provided by Diane Kroe

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?  

Running shoes with practically everything. I love that the younger generation aren’t ruining their feet in stilettos like my generation. 
 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?  

Midriff revealing tops. After having babies, it’s not a flattering look on most women. Though in today’s world, women are rejoicing their bodies no matter what shape or size, and I support that. 
 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?  

Buy less and choose well. It’s time to put an end to fast fashion and support smaller fashion brands that use ethical practices. Also, support vigorously brands that respect animal rights who don’t use any animal byproducts in their collections.  
 

Who is your style icon, and why?

I have always loved Norma Kimali. She was a pioneer in the world of introducing dance wear textiles into both designer and mainstream fashion. 
 

What do you like most about being a successful fashion designer?  

Nothing makes me happier than creating clothes for my clientele and making them feel prepared for whatever adventures come their way. This is what keeps me driven to keep doing what I love to do.

Thank you, Diane, for taking the time to answer my questions. I totally understand how designing clothes for others makes you happy. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘—
 
I know time is valuable, but if you can spare a moment, check out these previous interviews with fashion designers. ⏱️๐Ÿ‘€
