Some call them crass, but I call them genius. My husband will be part of the latter where he wants to clean every pair I own! Whether you hate them or love them, pre-distressed sneakers have become popular, especially among influencers on Instagram and Youtube. This sneaker trend started twelve years ago when Golden Goose, an Italian luxury footwear brand specializing in destroyed and distressed looking sneakers. They capitalize on sneaker branding that is worn and loved, just like how ripped jeans and holey shirts are popular.
This trend had polarizing receptions. While celebrities and influencers are known to participate in the distressed sneakers trend, it didn’t come out unscathed. Maison Margiela’s MM6 Fusion Sneakers were criticized after being sold for $1,645 for distressed shoes that appear frayed and dirtied.
So why purchase distressed-looking sneakers fresh out of the box? They’re comfortable, practical and add a certain edge to your look. It’s also quickly partnered with casual outfits, even feminine ones. It is what this post is all about, a homage to the distressed sneakers and all the fine ways to style them. When in doubt with what shoes to wear, always choose the distressed sneakers!

Distressed Sneaker Trend
Buying a pair of Golden Goose sneakers can cause some mint, but there are also alternatives as some brands followed suit in this unsurprisingly popular sneaker trend. If you must have a pair of Golden Goose, it’s your fancy, however, some of the ones listed below are just as fancy and you could buy a few pairs if you’d like for the price of one pair of GGDB.
The distressed aesthetics of these sneakers make your outfit more exciting, and to have more idea on how to style it, check these styling tips. If you feel too dressed up, or not hip enough, a pair of distressed sneakers can be just the right thing to make your outfit just right!
Mini & Midi Dresses
If you think it’s not possible, pairing up your distressed sneakers with your dress is the ultimate winner. You look feminine, cool, fabulous, and the sneakers add a fun element to your look. Wear to brunch, lunch with a beau or out to the club at night.
Skirts
As it looks good with dresses, your distressed sneakers pair up perfectly with skirts, giving you a relaxed vibe.
Flowy Blouses
By pairing up your distressed sneakers with a flowy blouse, it’s another take on making the feminine look more edgy and updated.
Jackets
Wear a cute outfit and top it with a chic jacket and distressed sneakers to look more casual but still dressy.
Shorts
Don the casual look with flair by wearing your distressed sneakers with shorts and a tee. This ensemble is casual basic and suitable for an everyday look.
Jeans and Pants
Of course, this list won’t be complete without the sneaker magnet outfit that is jeans. If you’re into skinny, straight, or cropped jeans, it’s going to be a hit with distressed sneakers.
Any pair of pants can also be a perfect pair with sneakers. I love to match them with a t shirt and flowy pants because it keeps it casual as well as edgy.
Leggings
Running an errand or going on a quick stroll to walk the dogs? Legging and your distressed sneakers can do the casually edgy trick.
Sweaters
For the cold season, you can still keep using your distressed jeans. So easy to pair up with sweaters, blazers, and even cardigans.
Moral of the story, distressed sneakers are here to stay in a big way. You can wear them with about any outfit you can think, and they take a dressy outfit and make it more casual. They take the edge off an otherwise too risque fit. I own several pairs of distressed sneakers, and you can find some of my favorites in this super popular blog post I wrote about Golden Goose Alternatives.
Home management is harder than we give it credit for. If you are a homemaker, who would know it better than you? I mean, it can leave you exhausted, and stressed and adds ounces more of anxiety when it doesn’t allow you to spend some leisure time in peace.
Hmph, but what can be the solution except running away to an island?
I’ll tell you – enhancing your home management skills to bring them to the next level. Practice can surely help, but these tips can be a game-changer.
9 ways to bring your home management skills to the next level
1. Organization
Monica Gellar might be your favorite for being adorable, welcoming, and witty. But most people love her for her A-rated organization skills.
Nonetheless, the point is organization is pivotal for top-notch home management. Not only it makes cleaning easier and quicker but makes your life simple. Wondering how? Well, it’s simple – when you already know where you keep inks and refills, you wouldn’t have to turn the house upside down to find them.
To make the organization even easier, you can invest in multiple storage tools, including small storage boxes to make sorting and categorizing easy.
2. Add labels
9 Ways to Bring your Home Management Skills to the Next Level
You might be able to identify black pepper, but not anyone who is not accustomed to working in your kitchen. So, to make it easy for them, consider adding labels to everything – not just things found in your kitchen. It will also make your work easier if in case you forget where you kept something in particular.
Add labels to containers in your kids’ rooms will help them remember what goes in each container and help keep the mess cleaned.
3. Create a to-do list
When you have too many tasks to do, things are bound to fall out of your hands. In this context, keeping a tab of every chore you are supposed to do would be difficult. Consequently, you might end up forgetting one or two things. Thus, to avoid that, you can create a to-do list of every chore you are supposed to do.
I prefer to create a calendar alert with a schedule of things to do and how long they might take. If I have a new item to do, on a specific day, I add it in where I have a little gap, or if it’s most important, first thing in the morning to ensure it gets completed. This keeps me on track each week and reminds me what and how much time I have to do things.
4. Prepare a calendar
Imagine this – you had a bunch of chores planned out for tomorrow but it just occurred to you that you promised your kid a short trip to the zoo the next day. Consequently, all your chores had to suffer.
What could have avoided it all is a well-maintained and updated calendar. And maybe in that calendar you see a different day you can go to the zoo or a shorter day of chores to accommodate both things. Sometimes it takes a little shuffling and extra time at the end of the day, but know it’s possible to do both!
It is simply that maintaining a calendar can only help you. You can plan your days and weeks ahead.
5. Prepare your meals
Cooking is not so challenging, as much as deciding the dishes to cook. All the more, we keep asking our kids what to cook because coming to a decision can be tricky. Not to mention, if you randomly decide to cook pasta for tonight, and see there are no ingredients for it in the kitchen, it can be pretty disappointing.
Along with preparing your meals, you can shop for groceries once a week and get all the supplies needed for the meals if you know ahead what you will make.
Nonetheless, meal preparation can save the day. You don’t have to waste minutes thinking, and you can make mindful choices for your grocery; you won’t buy anything you wouldn’t need.
6. Plan your chores
You don’t have to do all the chores every day. There are some that you can skip doing some days. So, make a plan accordingly. The upside of doing so would be that, when you know what you are supposed to do, you’ll do it quicker.
If you work a Monday thru Friday job, it’s probably best to try to do a few chores a night so when the weekend comes, you aren’t stuck doing everything from the whole week in 2 days without a rest. Maybe throw in a load of laundry a few nights a week and do the dishes nightly will help cut down the weekend responsibilities so you can enjoy yourself for once.
7. Follow a night-time routine
No one likes the morning rush. Strange it almost feels that it is inevitable? Sounds familiar? If yes, then who says you cannot do something about it?
9 Ways to Bring your Home Management Skills to the Next Level
Interestingly, a nighttime routine can help tremendously. Doesn’t matter if you are a homemaker or a working professional, preparing the night before can spare you time and of course the morning rush and stress. Here’s what I suggest.
–Select clothes, iron, and hang them.
–Keep all your daily make-up essentials in a convenient place.
–Cut veggies beforehand.
–Fill bottles and make ice cubes.
–Set your bags, or your children’s.
8. Challenge yourself to work faster
Working slowly might save you the stress initially, but it will bring you back to square one if you are running against the clock in the end to complete your chores.
Ergo, it’s any day better to increase your speed, be done with the tasks, and spare some time for yourself. You can do so by setting timers and challenging yourself to finish the chores within the set time.
9. Make use of cleaning hacks
Why do you want to work harder when you can do things easily with the help of exciting hacks? Well, here’s a list:
–Use lemon and baking soda first to remove stains on stoves, utensils, and kitchen floors easily.
–Dilute vinegar with water, spray the solution on the toilet seat, and scrub later.
–Use Mayonnaise to make stainless steel shiny.
–Mop with white vinegar.
To conclude,
First of all kudos to you – you are doing a great job. Home management is not easy. But I hope these tips can make it easier for you. If you have a few more tips to share, feel free to drop by the comment section. We’re all ears.
Do you always wonder why and how your money disappears? As if it has some kind of superpower to disappear with a poof? If the struggle seems familiar to you, perhaps you are not doing budgeting right, or perhaps you are not practicing budgeting at all.
But once again, for budgeting, you need to be good with money. I bet that’s your line of thought and probably the excuse you use to not do budgeting at all – you think it’s impossible for a person like you who’s terrible with money.
But here’s a truth bomb alert. You are terrible with money only because you’re not good at money management. To make the wrong right, budgeting is a sure-shot solution.
It’s not rocket science or chemistry equations you never solved right. Budgeting is easy – even when you think you are bad with money. Allow me to guide you through as someone who has never been good with a budget but finally figured it out!
How to make a budget when you are terrible with money
1. Before making any cuts, calculate your monthly expenses
It all comes down to knowing where you spend and how much you spend in a month. For that to happen, ditch the “I’ll record the expenses later.” Notion. It’s not a great idea, as you won’t be able to remember each and every expense you paid for – especially cash transactions. So, make it a habit to record every transaction then and there.
Now I know, you wouldn’t be able to carry your laptop along with you, but you can carry a notepad or write it down in your phone’s notes. Make it a routine.
2. Categorize these expenses
When you are done recording your expenses, categorize them. For instance, any expenses on fruits and veggies would go in the grocery category, and so on. Once you are done categorizing each expense, see which of these expenses can afford adjustments. For instance, cutting down on grocery and shopping is possible, but fixed expenses such as rent, insurance premiums cannot be adjusted.
Now, you know which areas of expenses you can make cuts and adjustments in and which are not adjustable.
3. Prioritize paying debts
Now to determine how much you can cut, you have to know what other expenses you have to prioritize. This includes paying debts. Some people don’t consider paying debts important enough – but it’s a very disastrous road to take. When you take money, it is your obligation to pay the people back – even when they don’t ask for it. So, prioritize paying your debts.
You would not be able to pay all debts together. So, it’s better to pay in little installments every month. Let your budget reflect debt payment – in fact, it would be better to reserve some portion of your monthly salary towards it.
Trust me, it’s better to be done with debts. You won’t just avoid troubles, but spare yourself a poor credit score and added interest.
4. Create reserves for necessary expenditures
It is not only essential from the perspective of your budget but for the future as well. Necessary expenses can include education expenses, health expenses, and so on. It’s better to maintain reserves for these because a good education is vital and health is more than important. (You cannot trust time to keep its blessed hand on you forever.)
Let’s not forget about accidents, loss of work, or vehicle expenses. All of these things can pop up quickly and put you in more trouble if you don’t have a reserve to let you get to work or school still.
5. Start with cutting down in one area of expenses (See how much you need to cut)
Now that everything is done, it’s time to take action. You can start with one category of expense – say grocery. Try to cut your grocery expenses by 20% if you are just starting out. For instance, if your monthly grocery budget is $200, bring it down to $160. Surely there are things you can still get within the budget, and enjoy your life. Maybe you have stock in the pantry or refrigerator you can use as a substitute instead of pushing it back further on the shelf. Every little bit helps, especially if you are short on space and have a reserve already.
6. Gradually, try to reduce in every area
Once you successfully meet the new budget, gradually go to the next categories of expenses. If you thought that you didn’t save much in one category, you’ll see the difference when you combine all categories of expenses.
As said before, try to cut down these expenses by 20% to see results. If you have one area you can completely cut but struggle to cut to 20% in another area but still stay in budget, know it’s ok. You still have to enjoy your life, not resent your budget. It can be something small also, it doesn’t have to be a huge expense.
7. Make lifestyle expenses
There’s no point in making a budget when you don’t make the necessary adjustments to actually stick to the budget. You have to accept that if you are to do budget and saving right, you have to make some adjustments – whether it is sacrificing weekly dinners at lavish restaurants or expensive breakfast options to pamper your taste buds. Actions are mandatory – no pain, no gain, right?
The more you are able to shift but make it comfortable so you can sustain, the better the future will be. I don’t recommend cutting out everything which will make you hate every day because that will keep any blessings away.
8. Make room for investments
Now with all the savings in hand, you can put it to wise use. A wise utilization won’t be keeping all the saved money in your bank account, instead, a wise call would be using some of that money to make investments to increase your wealth for the future.
If you want maximum returns, investing in the stock market is the option. However, if you’d like to start slow and safe, investing in SIP and Mutual funds can be a safe bet. If you want to save for retirement or another thing, setting up a meeting with a financial advisor might be a good place to start if you are new. They can point you in the right direction and help you understand what will work for what you want and how long.
While it may seem daunting, creating and following a budget is doable once you break it down into manageable steps. Start by calculating your monthly expenses and then categorize them into necessary and discretionary spending. Prioritize paying off your debts and then create reserves for other necessary expenditures like rent or groceries. Gradually try to reduce all of your expenses, even your lifestyle ones, until you have room to invest in yourself or save for the future. Implementing just one of these tips can help get you started on the path to better money management. Do you have trouble saving money or budgeting? Which tip helped you get started?

Even if you exercise regularly, go for walks, and eat healthy and nutritious food, you still cannot say you are living a healthy lifestyle. This might come as a shock to you but it cannot change the fact that our homes are refuge to a lot of toxic objects that we are too naïve to notice. They are so important for us that our lives depend on them even though they are causing our slow death. Which is exactly the meaning of a lifestyle — the whole picture, not just one little bit of it.
Today, I am listing a few of these items that are highly harmful to your health. So, remove them from your home today to genuinely live a healthy lifestyle.
9 things you should toss to detoxify your home
1. Plastic food jars, bottles, and plastic wraps
Plastic is a slow-ticking bomb. Yet unfortunately, it has seeped into our lifestyle in such a way that eliminating it requires us to make a lot of sacrifices.
Nevertheless, it cannot change the fact that eliminating plastic is necessary not only for our environment but our family’s health. It is made from harmful chemicals such as phthalates that can cause reproductive and, neurological damage in our system. In addition, food and water when stored in plastic can facilitate the release of such chemicals into these consumable items.
You can go for these alternatives instead – Glass containers, steel/copper bottles, and beeswax wrap. If you want to switch to beeswax wrap, we use Nature Bee Wraps in our home and love the way they work!
2. Non-stick pans
Non-stick pans can definitely make your lives easy given that you do not have to scratch and rub food off the
The pan that does it all! The Our Place pan. Click to shop
pan’s surfaces. But it might be a piece of fresh news to you that some non-stick pans when exposed to high temperatures can release toxic gases and chemicals. (These chemicals lie in the coating of such pans.)
Thankfully, there are a bunch of non-toxic non-stick pans available in the market. You just have to do your research well before you shop. Check out this post if you are in the market for some better-quality non-toxic pans.
3. Perfumes and deodorants
Perfumes and deodorants might solve your odor issues and give out a therapeutic fragrance but they are not good for your skin at all. They can cause a lot of dermatological issues, to begin with – skin darkening, and redness, and irritation. Additionally, they contain harmful chemicals such as aluminum, parabens, Propylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, that are toxic for you when inhaled, especially if you have asthma.
You can look for organic alternatives to protect yourself from the harmful effects. Essential oils make great alternatives, but make sure you are using the best quality, like those available here. If you are looking for a good alternative for deodorant, this specific one is free from harmful chemicals. Other scents in their product line are made with Propylene Glycol, so be on the lookout for that. This is the exact brand and kind I use on a daily basis as well as what I have Leila using now that puberty is starting. It works equally as well for both of us.
4. Fabric softeners
Fabric softeners do have one benefit but against a hundred stumbling blocks. They are composed of quaternary ammonium salts that can cause various skin problems – primarily skin irritation, redness; in addition to respiratory issues and migraines.
You can use vinegar as an alternative. Use it as a final rinse for your laundry after diluting it in water.
The same can be said for the static sheets you put in the dryer with the clothes. If you want to still use something similar, grab wool balls and put a few drops of Essential Oils on them for the scent you are looking for and static relief.
5. Bug sprays and mosquito repellents
Bug sprays and mosquito sprays are some of the most toxic things you can provide shelter to. It contains harmful chemicals that can be disastrous for you when inhaled. Additionally, according to scientific research, it can also cause cancer and various neurological effects in children.
You can switch to a homemade bug spray using ingredients such as 3-5 drops each of citronella, lemongrass, peppermint, and lavender.
6. Whitener Pen
The closest we have come to erasing pen inks is a whitener pen – considering it’s just a makeshift, not a reliable solution. Nonetheless, whitener pens are extremely toxic. One can easily see it for themselves when they breathe in the highly addicting smell. Inhaling whiteners is 300 times more harmful than alcohol; it can have adverse effects on the nervous system and can obstruct the functioning of the lungs, brain, and kidneys.
7. Shampoos with parabens and sulfates
The beauty and cosmetic fraternity are growing conscious of the harmful effects of parabens and sulfates on hair health and overall health. They have been known to increase the chances of cancer – as they imitate estrogen hormone leading to the growth of cancer cells.
Having said that, consider going for sulfate and paraben-free shampoos. Don’t be fooled by the marketing labels, read the ingredients list to check. You can also make your homemade shampoos to avoid damage.
If you are looking for a new line, which is free from most chemicals, check out R+Co. They are the line I use on my hair as well as that of my girls. They do a great job, don’t add extra weight or build up on the hair, and last quite a long time for their price.
8. Laundry detergents and cleaning products
Bleach, carpet cleaner, dishwashing detergent, tile cleaner, toilet cleaner – basically all sorts of cleaners and detergents have harmful chemicals such as Diethanolamine, Fragrance, Petroleum distillates, DEA/TEA, ammonia, phosphates, to name a few.
You can instead make use of natural cleaning agents such as baking soda, white vinegar, and lemon to achieve your desired cleaning results.
9. Candles
Lighting candles might be a god-sent for stress and anxiety but they are harmful to you in numerous ways. It can not only cause cancer when inhaled but paraffin wax, used in most candles, can produce highly toxic benzene and toluene when burned.
Ergo you can go for fragrance-free soy candles. If you do want fragrance, consider going for electric diffusers. If you want to purchase high quality oils for your diffusers, here’s a link to get what we use in our home and consider the best.
Finally,
Didn’t it come as a surprise to you? Did you know that these items were so harmful to you and your family’s health? Nevertheless, there’s no point in regretting now, it’s never too late to make a change. We have recently learned that our environment here in Arizona is becoming worse and worse for allergies, and will know what everyone is allergic to inside and outside and much of this listed above we will finally eliminate for good so we can have an easier time when the outdoors start affecting us. I hope you will consider these eliminations for you and your family’s sake!
Minimalism has gained its sheer popularity for all the right reasons. This concept proved to be life-changing for many people; it simplified their life and allowed them to focus on other integral issues much more effectively.
In a nutshell, it has turned out a blessing especially for moms. You might wonder how? Because being a mom and minimalism seems poles apart; you cannot really bring them together.
Well, you are mistaken. Minimalism and motherhood do go hand in hand. In fact, it makes motherhood quite easy. When you have fewer things at home, you have fewer things to clean, and a wider space to allow free movement. Consequently, you have more time to spend with your family, aka a lifesaver for many moms.
So, without further ado, allow us to bestow all the inspiring secrets of minimalist moms to make it seem all easy.
Inspiring secrets of minimalist moms
1. They know what they want and need
How often have you found yourself debating if you should buy this air-tight jar, or let it go? I bet it has happened plenty of times wherein you have battled with your own desires only to submit in the end because you could not differentiate between what you wanted and what you needed.
Or perhaps you knew the difference but your mind manipulated you into buying that object. It told you, “You cannot let this go. It can be used in the kitchen. It’s SOOOO pretty, you definitely need this (even when you have plenty of jars at home)”
We all have been there; we all have been fooled by our own minds. But as for minimalist moms, they do not let it happen. They know that simply knowing the difference between a want and need is not enough, but that letting or not letting this knowledge affect your purchasing decision is a part of the process.
Your mind will definitely manipulate you, it will submit to temptations, but you don’t have to give it the reins. You have to control your desires and your thought process. If your mind is trying to manipulate you, challenge yourself that you won’t let it succeed, you would not be so gullible after all to fall into the trap of your mind.
2. They have accepted that less is more
All our lives we have dwelled on the supremacy of more. We have focused more on quantity than quality. Not anymore! The times are changing and with it the doctrines. Now is the time when we start believing that less is more.
All because it makes our life easy, and we stress less. It is for these benefits that minimalist moms have upheld the very notion of less is more. They do not simply believe in it but practice it as well. They do not fill their wardrobes with tons and tons of clothes. And they keep a limited quantity and that sorts out most of the things for them.
3. They know it is a group activity
As a mom, if you want minimalism to work, then you cannot elude your family’s inclusion. In other words, minimalism is more likely to work when it is adopted and practiced by all the members of the family. This is the challenge here because it’s one thing to practice minimalism yourself, and another to persuade your family to do the same.
All the more, it’s not something that you can all of a sudden ask your family to practice. It takes a change of habits, and as a mother, it needs to be included in your child’s upbringing. You have to raise your kids in such a way that they become minimalists. It has to become their way of life, it should be something that they have seen all their lives, and collected their takeaways from that.
In simple words, they need to learn minimalism from the atmosphere at home. When they see you, they will try to imitate you and that’s how they will learn. It’s a group activity and meant to be practiced together. In addition to that, you can encourage them to follow some minimalist practice to manifest into their habits and daily routine.
4. For children, it starts with toys
Tell me if it does not take hours for you to assemble your kid’s toys because there are just so many of them. It’s like your house is made of toys, not bricks.
Okay, it was a little exaggeration but it is true, our kids have lots and lots of toys, defeating the purpose of minimalism.
Now that you realize it, you know what your goal and target will be. If you have to teach minimalism to your kids, you have to start with their toys. You have to encourage them to opt for fewer toys, declutter from time to time, or donate them to those in need.
You also do not have to submit to their whims and desires in the first place. Don’t buy them every toy they point their fingers at. If you do so, you would not only be filling your home with toys but will make your kids materialists and stubborn in the future,
5. Occasional decluttering
Minimalism and decluttering are mutually exclusive. Minimalist moms occasionally declutter their homes. They do not keep things that are of zero value to them – that includes broken objects, objects they haven’t used in years even when they look new and pretty. In short, they are firm when they declutter.
They do not let things stay, they know what will be of use to them; they do not engage in a constant debate with their brain, they just throw things out if they know they won’t use them.
6. Reuse and recycling
Just so you know, when being a minimalist, you are consciously or unconsciously practicing environmentalism. Going by the simple logic, when you own fewer things, you are not exploiting the earth of its materials and natural resources. At the same time, as a minimalist mom, your goal is to reduce wastage as well. You reuse, recycle rather than buying more things.
7. They go digital
Minimalist moms know that technology can be their best friend if they make optimal use of them. For starters, they use technology to reduce clutter around the homes.
If you are looking forward to becoming a minimalist mom, you can do the same. You can limit your consumption of newspapers, and settle for digital newspapers. At the same time, you don’t increase clutter by investing in books, but you go for an e-reader, or kindle reader instead.
At the same time, they prefer keeping digital backups of their important documents. All the more when they go out, they request the shopkeepers to mail them bills instead of carrying a paper copy with them and create unnecessary clutter.
Well, that’s all there is. We have disclosed all the inspiring secrets of minimalist moms. I hope their secrets have inspired you to take up minimalism to make your lives better, simpler, and easy.
