Oil Stain?
Stains are a pain, messing up that brand new shirt, pants or dress that you just bought. What my sister actually discovered that works to some degree to help get rid of (lets say) 60 percent the oil stain is actually dish washing detergent. Just sprites some of detergent onto the stain, let it sit for at least 20 minutes and then rinse it out. Process may need to be repeated and should be done as soon as possible when the stain is fresh to get the best result.

Dolce Vitas
Dolce Vitas are amazing! They are usually made a size bigger, so for example I wear a 7.5 usually and would have to get a size 7 in Dolce Vitas. They are very narrow so if you have wide feet you need to break them in first. My suggestion is that you use the paper tissue that they stuff into the shoe and reverse it(so that the wide end is facing towards the tops), and stick that plastic stick back in to hold it in it's place. This way you save yourself the torture of having to break them in by walking or paying extra money to buy one of those plastic shoe fillers. Another trick is to get one of those mini shampoo bottles/ conditioners and just place them in the shoe (closed of course). These shoes are super snug, and haven't given me a blister yet. After buying Fossil flats (gave me many blisters, each time I wore them) and rocketdog (gave me blisters as well, plus super uncomfortable even after wearing them several times already)I ready to believe that Dolce Vitas are one of the only brands for pumps and shoes for me. PS the Fossil flats that I bought wear leather and was 7.5 and the Rocketdogs were on super sale (I believe 18 dollars), they looked comfortable online, I was completely wrong. The flats were extremely stiff and had very little to no padding on the sole of the shoes. The fabric for the flats were made with some kind of rough material, to make it worst it rubs again your ankles. So if you have sensitive skin, be prepared with bandaids! Cheap yes, but in the long run I think Dolce Vitas are a better investment.
Updated news: DV which is the lower ending brand of Dolce Vita goes by actual size, same with their pumps because they are tight.

Shape ups actually works! I was skeptical because of the commercials, since the people wearing the shoes were super skinny and fit. However within four months or so I noticed that my legs, thighs and butt became very toned. Usually in order to get my lower body into shape like they are now, I would have to swim. How may you ask? The shoes are ridiculously heavy, that's right each shoe weighs at least half a pound. Imagine walking up and down the stairs with those puppies, who wouldn't get fit. Upside is that they do not cost around 100 dollars anymore, compared to the price they were at last year. Now they are around roughly $40-65. Another pro is that they give you an extra inch in your height. Since I'm 5'1, wearing them made me feel tall. Downside is that you can't run in them cus your very likely to sprain your ankle. Also the fabric on the inside isn't very durable. After only owning the shoes for about 7 months, the back inside area (where you slide in your feet into the shoe) tared apart and yellow sponge stuffing came out. All in all if you don't have time to go to the gym, have some extra cash laying around, why not. Maybe they fixed their poor quality... probably not, but never hurts to try out new products.
