Out with the old and in with the new. Here is a list of shoes I feel every lady should have in her shoe closet as we are preparing for the end of year, and the coming of a new year.    You already know that every lady has her addiction, mine are shoes. The ironic thing about this is that I actually do not own a lot of shoes, so you are probably thinking how am I addicted to shoes and not have a lot? Well, I have tons of shoes in my head which I will own someday 🤣🤣 until then, my good eye for great shoes satisfies my addiction. N.B: These are my personal opinions, it is not meant to put any form of pressure on you. You have no reason to feel bad, you can simply read for the fun of it even if you cannot get your hands on the shoes on my list. I honestly do not have them either, so please Queen, reduce the pressure. I am going to start by listing a shoe that must not cross over to 2021.

Since that time till now, I have consciously made attempts to get my body in shape, in-between that, I tried various types of tummy belts which i mostly purchased online. Every time a new belt was delivered to me, it just never met my expectations so I...
