 How to Make Breaking in Your Dr. Martens Easier




For decades, Dr. Martens boots have been a beloved footwear staple, known for their durability and timeless style. However, for many first-time Docs wearers, breaking in a new pair can be a daunting task. The thick leather and sturdy construction of the boots can make them feel stiff and uncomfortable at first, but you can make the breaking-in process much easier with a few simple tricks and a bit of patience. In this blog post, we will go over some tips for breaking in your Dr. Martens.

Put on thick socks

Dr. Martens

The term "responsibility" refers to the process of determining who is responsible for what. Thick socks will provide extra cushioning and aid in the prevention of blisters on your feet. When trying on your boots for the first time, wear the socks you intend to wear with them so you can get a sense of how they will fit.


Begin slowly

Dr. Martens

It's critical to take things slowly when you first get your new Docs. Wearing them for an entire day right away can be uncomfortable and cause blisters. Instead, wear them for short periods of time around the house or on short walks to begin. Increase the amount of time you wear them each day gradually until they feel more comfortable.


Make use of a leather softener

There is no escaping the fact that we are in the midst of a recession. Softeners such as mink oil and leather conditioner can help soften the leather and make it more pliable and comfortable. Allow the softener to sit on the outside of the boots for a few hours before wiping away any excess.

Bend the sole

When your Dr. Martens are new, the soles can be quite stiff, so flex them to make them more comfortable. Hold the boot with one hand and flex the sole back and forth with the other. This will assist in breaking in the sole and making it more flexible.


Warm them up

Another tip for making your Docs easier to break in is to use heat to soften the leather. Warm up the boots with a hair dryer or heat gun, paying special attention to any areas that feel particularly stiff. To avoid damaging the leather, use a low heat setting and keep the heat moving.

Wear them when it rains


Wearing your Docs in the rain can help speed up the break-in process. The rain's moisture softens the leather, making it more pliable and comfortable. To protect the leather from water damage, use a waterproofing spray or wax.


Make use of a shoe stretcher

A shoe stretcher can be of great assistance if your Docs are feeling particularly tight in certain areas. Adjustable shoe stretchers stretch specific areas of the boots, making them more comfortable to wear. Just make sure to carefully follow the instructions and not overstretch the leather.


It can take some time and patience to break in a new pair of Dr. Martens, but with the tips outlined above, you can make the process much easier. To avoid blisters, go slowly, use a leather softener, flex the sole, and wear thick socks. You'll have a comfortable and stylish pair of boots that will last you for years with a little effort.



How to have confidence to wear whatever you want to?


How to have confidence to wear whatever you want to?


I constantly get asked by my followers how to have confidence to wear what you want, so I decide to write about because it is a big topic and can't be answered in one short sentence.

So first to all of you asking yourself

how to wear whatever you want to, you are not alone and it for sure is not your fault for thinking this way. It is not your fault that you feel that your body is not good enough to wear certain things or it is not appropriate to wear certain clothing. But wait how is it not your for thinking this way, you of course think it is your fault because you are the one thinking this way. See it all because of our society and the way they make us think and feel. When you constantly keep hearing how you shouldn't wear this and this, or if you have certain type of body you shouldn't wear this and of course at some point you will start believing it.


how to wear whatever you want to

But see so many things

we are told are not true, they tells us because they know they can gain something from us. They make you feel insecure so you can get that fitness program so you can wear certain clothing, or get a surgery, or the worst one is they can't handle women being a bad ass boss and wear whatever she wants to, because then you are in the power and not them. Because of that so many have misconception about clothes and their purpose. You shouldn't change your body so you fit the clothes, clothes should be able to fit your body. So next time you want to wear something that in society's eyes doesn't look good with your body type remember this.

So how do you gain confidence

to wear whatever you want to? Here are view simple steps that I suggest you doing to gain your confidence back. Yes I am saying gaining confidence back, because deep down we all have that confidence it is only hidden because of all the bullshit we keep hearing.

quotes about confidence


Unlearn stupid beliefs:

The belief that certain clothes won't fit every body type and that you shouldn't wear certain clothes in certain way is a bullshit. All bodies are beautiful and all bodies deserve to wear what they want to wear. Who the said that chubby beautiful people can't wear bikini? I always love looking at chubby people wearing bikini it looks so beautiful. But because our society is messed up companies like to make bikini for example look only good for skinny people, where is diversity here?

And of course then they

will say only skinny people should wear bikini, how about you improve the way you make clothes, because if it can't fit all, this is not good. So just remember clothes should serve your body not other way around. So if you like something, even it no one else likes it who care, wear it. Even if it doesn't look good, who cares, if you like it and makes you feel good wear it and be proud of it.


how to wear whatever you want to quotes

Learn to love yourself:

I feel the main reason you can't wear whatever you want to wear is because you lack self love. If you have fully accepted yourself and love yourself the way you are, you wouldn't worry about what others would think and would wear whatever you want to and wouldn't care. But I also get it, in society like ours it is hard to accept yourself, because they entourage us to be someone else. But you need to do so otherwise you will always feel insecure.


You can start small by just

saying loving affirmations to yourself every morning, or looking at yourself in the mirror and trying to see beauty in your flaws. There are endless ways you can learn to love yourself. I wrote an article all about it you can check it out here

quotes about self confidence

Get out of your comfort zone:

Doesn't matter in what area you are trying to gain confidence from, you will never achieve it if you keep staying in your comfort zone. Lacking confidence actually just means you have fear of that thing and of course you will have fear if you never tried it, but if you try it trust me most of the time it won't be scary anymore. So in this case your fear is wearing clothes that our society doesn't think it suits your body type or in general they don't think you should be wearing. So wear it, yes wear the clothes you are afraid of wearing and see how it feels.


Yes I know it might be scary,

but trust me after you will feel much better. Start small maybe wear them around people you trust and then step up and wear it when you are out with friends. Trust me after doing it many times you won't have that much fear and when you keep doing it, the fear will be gone.

Know that people who judge you for the way you dress have their own insecurities:

You might not have confidence to wear whatever you want to, because maybe someone took away this. Maybe this happened to you when you are young and you can't get over that. I can imagine someone judging you or making fun of you can be hard for anyone. Just know people who laugh at you probably have their own insecurities. Some who loves themselves fully doesn't need to judge anyone and the way they dress. Judging others will make them feel good and of course the easiest way to judge someone is by what they are wearing.

self love quotes

But know if they wear happy

with themselves they wouldn't be doing so, so that means there is nothing wrong with you or your outfit. Also remember that they probably forgot what they told you a second after they said it, so why then bother even thinking about it when they don't even think about it. If you don't wear what you want to wear, you allow them to control you, don't let them control you.


Make impossible for you mind to say no:

You are afraid to wear what you want, but let's say you put together amazing outfit so you can't refuse to wear it. Make it the hottest and the most amazing outfit ever. This way having an amazing outfit will give you confidence, but also won't put all the attention to that piece, the attention will be more focused on the outfit. This way you will feel confident without feeling confident. Of course you should work on really feeling confident, but this is great short-term solution.


how to wear whatever you want to quotes

Surround yourself with positive people:

When you hang out with people who bring you down and tell you, you don't look good of course you won't feel good about wearing certain clothing. But if you hang out with people, who entourage you to wear whatever you want to, when they boost your confident by saying nice things about you, you will gain confidence in no time. When you are around confident people, who will support you no matter what, you will have confidence in no time.

It will take a while for you to get

your confidence back, but you will get it back just keep working on it. These tacks are in my opinion the most effective and will help you with your confidence in no time. And these tacks won't just help you with feeling confidence around what you wear, but also in general it will increase your confidence so much.

Just remember you are amazing and beautiful human, your body is more than deserving of beautiful clothes. Your body does deserve you wear the cutest outfits, so don't punish it because of society.

Hopefully this will help you, let me know how it goes!!!

Wonder how to boost your energy? Here are 9 ways to boost your energy

Lately I have been feeling very tired, and even though in the winter time I tend to be tired I kind of didn't like it, because I really love the feeling of getting things done and I couldn't. So I set myself to mission to try to bring back my energy. I am lucky enough that I get my energy pretty fast, but I still wanted to learn how to boost my energy and get back my motivation. It is the best feeling ever when you are motivated. So then I started researching and tried many methods and will be sharing these methods with you guys. I will tell you how well they worked and if I recommend them or not. So let's get started:

Comment down below if you have any suggestion on how to boost your energy

Get more sleep:

sleeping boosting your energy


This is something not everyone thinks about when it comes to boosting their energy, but it no brainer. Sleeping is what gives you energy, so if you don't have enough energy you might rethink you sleeping schedule. Maybe have trouble sleeping or maybe you need extra hour of sleeping, or maybe you just need more sleep to boost your energy. So I tried this by giving myself one extra hour of sleep and it really did help out a lot. Before I would be waking up lime zombie and now I am very much rested. After a week I went back to my usual sleeping schedule so you don't have to do it forever, just to boost your energy. I 100% recommend this

Reduce stress:

stress how to boost energy

You might be surprise how much energy stress can take from you. By having stress it is very usual that you lose a lot of energy. So try to reduce stress, and I know it is not easy, you can't control stress. Maybe think about what is causing a stress in your life. Is it a friend? Maybe distance yourself from them for a bit. Is it work? Try not to worry too much about it and say to yourself everything will be fine. I tried this method by always counting to 10 when I felt I was annoyed or stressed about something. I also kept saying to myself everything will be fine and it was really fine. I try to stay calm in bad situation and it really worked well. This method can be good for you even in long run so I really recommend it!


Move more:

running how to boost your energy

Doctors really know what they are doing when they say working out is good for your health. By working out you can really boost your energy. You are burning away all the negative energies and replacing them with positive energies. By working out you are taking care of your body, therefore you are taking care of your body. You keep your body going and because of that you will boost your energy. This method is great, but it is not something I needed to add to my daily routine, because I already workout 5 times a week. But from working out so much I can highly recommend you try it.


Avoid smoking:

avoid smoking


Smoking might be fun for you, but it is not fun for you body. In a way by smoking you are killing your body. You are putting negative energy into your body. So smoking can take away your energy and you would be more tired. By not smoking, you keep your body clean and give your body more energy. By how I talked about smoking you can assume I am not a smoker, not really something to add to my routine. But from someone who has never smoked, I highly recommend it!

Limit Alcohol:

avoid alcohol

Alcohol is all fun, but it can be very bad for your health. There are a reason why doctors don't support alcohol, it can damage your health a lot. It is fine when you have glass of wine once in a while, but drinking every day couple of bottles can't be good. And alcohol is draining our energy and that is why we feel so tired when we drink a lot of alcohol. When drinking alcohol becomes a habit that can cause you to be tired. So trying to drink less alcohol or not at all for a while until you get energy back, can really help you out.


Also when you don't drink alcohol you immune system gets stronger, which can boost your energy too. I am someone who likes to drink alcohol, but under the control of course. But since I was feeling tired, I cut it off completely and it was amazing for me. I didn't drink alcohol for three weeks and I it really helped me. I also noticed my immune system got so strong and that is another plus. So just try it don't need to cut it off forever for just until your energy is back to normal.

Take a look at your eating habits:

eat healthy how to boost your energy

What you put into your body is very important. That is why doctors suggest we limit sugar because it is not good for our body, it is not even about us getting fat, but it is simply for our health. What you eat can impact your energy. So take a look what you have been eating. Have you been eating a lot of sugar? Maybe slow down with sugar! Have you been eating a lot of take away and fast food? Also maybe try slowing down with it.

Maybe try new healthy recipes instead. Trying eating a lot of fruits and try making your own food. This way you know what you are taking. I have been eating health for view years now. I try eating a lot of healthy salads, fruits and have cut down the sugar and it has been so good to me. Probably because of that I am able to bring back my energy. Your body will feel amazing about healthy food and so will you!

Avoid added sugar:

added sugar

Coca-cola and chocolate can boost your energy for thatmoment when you feel tired, but for long term it will do more harm than good. I mean once in a while you can take added sugar it is all about balance. If you eat only healthy food it won't be good either, you got to find balance between healthy and unhealthy. How about to do view exercises to boost your energy instead of taking added sugar, or water can help you too. Since cutting down added sugar my energy has been better

Stay hydrated:

drink water

Water is so important to drink and you should be drinking a lot of it. I know I am guilty too I always forget to drink water and by drinking a lot of water you can boost your energy. For one week I drank two bottles in the morning and two bottles in the evening and it made me have more energy. So I highly recommend you do it and make it an habit!

Be social:

be social

This one might seem odd, but it is so important to have connection with other people. Having other people around can motivate you, sometimes we lack energy simply because we don't have people around you. When you have someone around who is full of energy and positive, they will give you that and the same goes to people who lack energy and are negative. It is important to have positive people around. I am telling you talking to someone when you have bad day, can make your day better. Sometimes we lack energy simply because we are going through some stuff. So try to keep positive people around and try to avoid negative people.


These are very easy and quick and you can easily implant them in your daily routine. I get it sometimes it can be hard to motivate yourself to do it, but trust me you feel so much better after doing them. By simply trying some of these methods your energy will be back in no time.

9 Unspoken rules about finding workout for you

 

9 Unspoken rules about finding workout for you


Starting to workout

from stretch is never easy. You and our body are getting used to it and it can sometimes be hard to push yourself. So many are quick to give up too soon before they even see any results. But sometimes it is not even you, it is the workout that you are doing that made you give up. So many times we tend to start doing certain workout because the company advertised it as being easy and that you will see quick results, which can't be true. That workout might be easy for some people, but hard for others. Also if someone said to you, you will see results quickly they are laying to you.

Your body needs time to

adjust itself to this lifestyle so it will never be quick. It will take at least 3 months for you to see the results. So we chose the workout that was advertised to us instead of trying out many workouts and see what you enjoy the most.  Because when you do workouts that you really enjoy, you won't give up. It won't matter to you if you see results or not. Just think about it, anything you do that you enjoy, do you really care how quickly you see results? I am sure your answer is no, because enjoying what you are doing is enough. So now you are wondering but how do I find workout for me? Well I got you, I made list of unspoken rules that will help you in a way to find workout for you:


workout for you

Don't look for workout for quick weight loss:

Your goal for working out should never be to loss weight. First if you have mindset like this one, you will never see results. Being too focused on something can never be good. Also this goal is coming from place of having negative thoughts about your body and that will never help you with seeing results. If you feel negative about your body, you need to work on overcoming the negativity before you start working out.

Remember your body

has been there for you from day one and has been there with you for bad and good things and never left you. Appreciate it and also know that your body is designed just perfectly for you. When you are happy with how you look, you will more likely lose weight. Instead of looking for workout for quick weight loss, look for workout that will get you in shape and make you stronger. Seeking for workout that will always get you excited. Working out is more than just losing weight, it can do even more for you!

challenge yourself

Experiment:

You can't know what workout is for you, if you never tried anything. Before I found my workout I tried so many so just wasn't having any fun. But trying out different workouts will give you idea what you don't like, so this will help you with finding your workout. Be aware how you are feeling during that workout. Are you counting minutes when the workout will be over? When it is yes, well that workout for sure is not for you. Of course give that workout a week before quitting, but don't be afraid of quitting because if you are not enjoying the workout it is not worth it.

workout for you quotes

Write down your strengths and weaknesses:

When you used to sports when you are younger or at the gym class what was something you were good at. For example were you very strong or more flexible? And also look at it right now what do you feel are your strenghts and weaknesses? Knowing that can also help you find your workout. Because you are more likely to enjoy doing something that you are good at and that comes easy to you instead of something you are not good at.


push yourself quote

Be in the environment: 

What I mean by this, is go to the gym and feel that energy, go to the park where people workout. If you have group of friends who workout, ask them to workout together. See what they are doing and ask them why they like these workouts. Hearing from other people can also help you out. And being in this environment can also open your eyes to what workout you are going to enjoy. I would even take view classes and this way you can experiment and but also feel this energy.

workout believe in yourself

Become closer to your body:

As I said before you even think about working out, you need to accept your body. You need to accept that you body is beautiful no matter what. You should never start working out in hopes to love your body, that should come before working out. You need to take time to learn to accept and love your body the way it is. And also you should also get to know your body, learn how to listen to your body and its needs. Because our bodies are constantly telling us things, but not everyone can hear their body. It is important to listen to your body, to know when your body had enough. When you are able to listen to your body, you can also easily find the workout for you because your body will be obvious if that workout is for you or not.

workout for you

Learn from experts:

Go online, search on google, search blogs and on social media for fitness experts. People who are well known in this industry. Of course so many assume they are experts when they clearly are not, but I feel you will know if they are experts or not. By what they are saying and also by what others are saying about them. Listen to what they have to say. See what they have to say is great workout for example for introverts or extroverts. Or maybe great workouts for someone who wants to build muscles or wants to get into shape. This for sure will bring you closer to finding your workout.

workout for you


Write down your goals:

By knowing your goals you will know where to look for your workout. You really need to set your goals straight otherwise you will be all over the place. Is your goal to get fit then you would look for this type of workouts, you will go and search for trainers that offer these kind of workouts.

summer body workout for you

Do research before:

There are so many people offering workouts and giving you empty promises, please don't follow for it. Do research and find the experts for these kind of workouts and then do research on these experts how well known are they and how successful their programs are. Because anyone can say their program is successful, but that doesn't mean it is true.

fitness motivational quotes


Finding your workout will be a process, it will take time but it is well worth it. Always getting excited before every workout is just such an amazing feeling. Never missing another workout because you enjoy it so much, therefore you will see results quicker. The workouts won't feel like workouts anymore, it will feel like hobby you really enjoy doing. And after workout you will feel good for being productive and will have so much energy. Hopefully this will help you find your workout so you can get started.

Lot of love and hugs
