The Search for Arla Dofino

By
After receiving my BzzKit I went to grocery to try to find Arla Dofino.  The first two Kroger locations I tried didn't carry any flavor of Arla Dofino.  I tried another Kroger and it only had Chilli Lime, not a flavor I care try.  I also tried a few Wal-Marts, Target, and a Meijer and no Arla Dofino there either.  I decide to try the Kroger and Wal-Mart in a different part of town, again the Kroger had only Chilli Lime, and finally at Wal-Mart I was able to find some different flavors Dill Havarti and Creamy Havarti, but not Gouda that the Mac & Cheese recipe called for.  I was shopping with a friend and she noticed the best buy dates were several months past the current month.  After searching through I was able to find on package that was not past the best buy date, so I went ahead and used my coupon to get my free Arla Dofino.
I went home happy to have finally found Arla Dofino, but a bit disappointed I wouldn't be able to make the Mac & Cheese recipe.  I did try the Creamy Havarti on crackers and was pleased with the taste, I normally am not a fan of many fancy chesses, but I really enjoyed this one.  I also tried it mixed in with scrambled eggs, and it gives them a nice extra hint of flavor.
I really hope Arla Dofino becomes easier to find in my area and that the stores start carrying more varieties.  I would also reccomend checking the best buy dates before purchasing.  I was rather shocked by how far out of date the Arla Dofino at Wal-Mart was.

Skechers Reggae-Rasta Outdoor Lifestyle Sandal

By
I'm normally not a much of a sandal person aside from wedge sandals, which until my recent pair (also from Skechers), I haven't worn sandals for the past few years with  my old favorites being long past their life expectancy.  I had worked an event promoting Chaco Sandals and got a pair for free from working the event (gotta love my job). I was actually quite looking forward to trying the Chacos after seeing rave reviews and seeing they are podiatrist recommended and also a suggested sandal for Plantar Fascitis (not sure if I have it, but my mom does, and I do have high arches and get occasional symptoms of it). I worked the 3 day event in the Chacos both Z2 sandals and the Chaco Outcross (open air shoe/sandal hybrid), and while the arch support was great (almost too high even for me), the footbed was stiff.  I felt constant pressure on my arches especially in the sandals, in the Outcross, I felt the arch wasn't quite in the right spot, but still a very stiff footbe...

Chaco Outcross Evo 1 and Chaco Z2

By
I worked an event where I would be required to wear Chacos, and would be wearing the shoes while working.  I wasn't familiar with the brand so I Googled them prior to working, partially because I have some foot issues and wanted to see if I was going to be miserable in them or if they might actually work for my high arches.  I found out that Chaco shoes are podiatrist recommended and have excellent arch support and are also good for Plantar Fascitis.  I have high arches (as well as mild oocasional symptoms of Plantar Fascitis) and am always looking for cute shoes that have good support.  These ideally should have checked both boxes. I wore both the Outcross Evo 1 and the Z2 while working, but could only keep one pair. I really wanted to like the Chaco brand, but they just aren't working for me. I don't know if they need broken in more or if they just aren't for my feet. I have very high arches and have a hard time find shoes that are comfortable for m...

Skechers Cali Memory Foam Wedge Sandal

By
  I haven't owned a pair of good wedge sandals in years.  I am super picky about wedge sandals and most the new styles I don't care for either because of aesthetics, or comfort reasons.  Many of the current wedge offerings with thse type straps extend back towards the heel which I hate the look of, and others are just to hard of a footbed, or the shoe is very heavy. The Skechers Cali Memory Foam wedges have a very soft footbed (made of you guessed it.. Memory Foam), they are super cushy while still being supportive.  I have high arches and finding shoes can be a challenge for me, although I have great luck with most Skechers especially those with the memory foam, because it can conform to my foot.  These wedges do have a visible arch support on the footbed.  They are a fairly low heel at about 2 inches, I normally would prefer higher, but heel height is one area I'm more willing to compromise. Another great feature is that sandals are very lightw...
