Recycling Salty Leftover Tacos with Mi Goreng Instant Noodles and Available Veggies in the fridge.
Переглядів 47Рік тому
After getting a few tacos from a local place for the first time, we found it too salty and didn’t want to eat it. One way I repurpose/recycle leftover is by adding it to instant noodles and any veggies we have in the fridge. In this video, I had carrots and green onions. I’ve used mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and green beans in the past. I’m not a chef or cook; I’m just sharing what I somet...

    VIVAIA HONEST REVIEW: Customer support only works for influencers. The shoes wear off. The finger foot that stands a bit out because the fabric is so maleable end up giving in the fabric. Also for the pointed ones, the point also gets like a crease that does not go away. Also, I know people that don't find them comfortable and others that wanting to contact the company to change size or other issue never got a response. They also false adviertise sales that then are different once you access the website. OVERALL: these shoes are not woth the money and the company sucks (not to mention gree wash)

    • @lyradominguez6672
      @lyradominguez6672 2 місяці тому

      Great question. Overall, they both seem to be holding up well (the soles have not cracked, shoes have not come apart, no holes, etc). But my husband say that his Kiziks fit about the same after 2 years. His Skechers seem to have loosened up that it now gives him blisters, and because his Skechers do not have laces, he can’t tighten it. He wore both shoes every week, at least once a week, 10-12 hrs a day. For me, I don’t feel any discomfort from either. But I don’t wear either as often as he does.

I would reach out to Vivaia’s customer service; ask their return/exchange policy, so there’s a plan in case it doesn’t fit.

Kit de costura pequeñito, tijeras. Pongo siempre una Barbie(tanto para niñas de 5 a 9 como para las más mayores) y algunas muñecas más pequeñas, un pequeño peluche, un tamgran,una cajita o bolsita con un colgante bonito y una pulsera, una camiseta bonita, una pequeña caja de música o un bolsito(lleno de más pegatinas, globos, polly poket, etc) Unas campanitas colgantes. Algún juego de cartas(Uno, parejas, familias, etc) y una cuerda de saltar. Una pequeñísima cajita de lata con algún "tesoro" dentro. Cabe todo aunque tardo un buen rato en organizar la caja. Tengo que poner un par de gomas fuertes para cerrarla bien. Ah, claro, y me olvidaba de la carta, postal o tarjeta para la niña. Compro muchas cosas en Amazon y otras en las rebajas a lo largo del año, porque voy comprando todo según van saliendo ofertas durante el año. Me pongo en el lugar de la niña y pienso ¿si fuera yo y no tuviera nada, qué me gustaría? De momento solo hago 4 o 6 cajas, espero ir haciéndolo más cada vez. Contando esto solo quiero que veáis cuanto se puede meter en una cajita, sobre todo si antes te has vaciado de ti, y dejas que el Espíritu Santo te sugiera lo que debes meter. Así, las cajitas las hacéis juntos y es una forma de bendecir a la niña destinataria. Que cada cosa sea amor. He visto mucho amor en tus cajas, gracias!

    Lyra, a few thoughts on the lace ups. I have two pairs of Kiziks (Athens & Lima) and my thought on having lace up is the increased adjustment you have for snugness. Also, if over time (I wear my shoes to death) if the shoe stretches you can tighten the fit with laces. As far as laces coming loose, if you have kids you should know the double tie, my laces NEVER come loose. Just some thoughts.

Even the Skechers shoes I featured here didn’t have a WIDE until after I uploaded this video; I recently added that link in my description.

    So, I'm thinking with the Skechers that you can't use orthotics, since the insoles aren't removeable? I like my Kiziks but have never tried the Skechers.

      That’s a good point. Unless they have new ones that I’m unaware of, Skechers slip-ins insoles are not removable. In this case, my husband says he goes a size up so there’s room for his orthotics insoles.

    I've just bought two Burudani pairs, and I've got at least 3 more from Vivaia. Both of them are great, although the Burudani customer service told me not to machine wash their shoes. Can you assure me they are machine washable? Love both of them.

      Hi, Vanesa. In this video, the deep red and denim blue BURUDANI shoes are both machine washable. I have washed both. The black BURUDANI shoes are NOT recommended to be washed in the washing machine, as mentioned in the video. Not all shoes from BURUDANI or Vivaia are recommended to be washed in the washing machine. It will say online on each shoe description which ones are. ALL heels or open toe or open back shoes are NOT recommended to be washed in the washing machine. When in doubt, check the website and/or customer service. All shoes should NOT be put in the dryer.

      Yes. they do now. As wide as they currently go up to EE. Wish they would expand to even wider like EEE or even EEEE. For that reason I am seriously considering the Sketchers Go Walk Slip Ins. I read somewhere that the Extra Wide size is considered EEE to EEEE. But it was not an official site. Hence my earlier question.
