    Those are very good tips Megan and I love how you talk in different accents from other states.
    Also the last time about spending time with the ones you love is definitely true and I like the part where you mention that the sandal or croc shoe fits and added Cinderella which is funny.
    Also when you mentioned Kohls, I actually mistakened it for Coles which is a supermarket franchise here in Australia.
