Oh yes, Rakia’s personal style is so inspiring! I had the opportunity to meet her at Philly Pop event on 10/11/09. Thanx for this feature btw come visit http://www.lagelledailydose.blogspot.com
I think Allison looks AWESOME. The look fits her rocker image – you go, girl!
Oh, and Allison is NOT dating Adam Lambert, to whomever said that they hope they’re dating – Adam is GAY!
Love that Rakia!
If you have heel spurs ‘these are the shoes’. I came home from work crawling everyday in total pain, and misery. Not sence I got these, no pressure on my heels. In one month I swear I bought four types of shoes. Trying to find anything that would take the pain away, so I could work. $118.00 versus $1000’s in surgury was a no-brainer.
Allison looks beautiful and can wear whatever she likes. I happen to love both her hair and outfit.
This girl has tremendous talent and stands out from the crowd of your typical teenage singers. Not to mention she actually acts like a normal teenager unlike some famous young stars these days.
It’s so refreshing to see a normal kid with an extraordinary talent. She’ll be around for a long time.
She is such a “Rak” Star!!
Love your favorite cousin! No, the other one!!
Muah…
Allison looks beautiful! I loooove those shoes! i wanna get ‘em. anyone know who designs them?
They seem to be a similar idea to MBT’s (Masai Barefoot Technology?)
ok
Rakia is doing a GREAT job promoting all that is fashion-froward in Philly!
“Rak” on, mamacita!
I’m definitely a “Rak” fan. Great article. Keep doing you. ;o)
I’m waiting for the magical
do the clothes run true to sizing or on the small side? Like if I wore a medium at wet seal, should I get a large?
I read the post and wanted to comment but initially fought the urge because I’m most likely in the minority (once again).
Weighing 200+ pounds is no healthier a body image than weighing 98.
I am an African American woman and I have witnesses that will tell you that since 1990 I’ve been trying to be “thick” and just as hard as many women try to loose weight, I try to gain it and fail just as often. I’m slim, healthy, but to be honest most of MY people would call me skinny and unattractive. So I’ve had a complex for quite some time now.
Unrelated to my high metabolism is my high cholesterol, yes, the size 6 is pushing 200 [in cholesterol] and that’s not good. It’s not from all the food I eat in an attempt to have beautiful curves, it’s from stress. So I had to make a very touch decision to join a gym. Going to a gym means that my body would get smaller, I’m now a 4. . .
All I know is that I’ve never been accepted because I’m not like the norm, but I really don’t want to die young. I don’t believe that we are all supposed to be a size whatever; but I do know that a woman under 6′0″ is not supposed to weigh 200+. It’s just not healthy and even though we may glamorize it, it doesn’t make it right. Obesity leads to a lot of medical problems that require ($$) medicine and health care and that equates to higher insurance. Someone is making money off of us and I’m sure they won’t mind if we kill ourselves off. They know that we’ve already taught the next generation exactly what they need to know in order to keep the system running smoothly.
Obesity is no better than gangster rap, it’s just takes longer to kill.
These shoes are amazing. It does take a couple day to get to get used to them, but it is worth it. I always had severe back pain. I said i was only getting them to wear while working. I am on my feet 8-12 hours a day. Until I got these shoes i was in sever pain all day. Its been almost a month and I hardly have any pain in my neck back or anything. They are the best money i could have ever spent. For years my back has been killing me and i have triend everthing to calm th epain, including physical therapist, wearing holistic magents to get rid of the pain, excerizing every day,etc….Nothing helped in the slightest capaires to these sneakiers. They feel like your walking on the moon too,they are sooo comfortable. They also help build and work out your leg muscles, for the first day my leg muscles were sore but passed quick. They also make me feel tall i feel tall now and slender. I love them and wear them whenever i leave the house. My regular sneakers feel weird to me now. I need to find my favorite ones in bulk cause im going to be wearing them forever. I only really like one kind, and the cheapest ones i found in the style i wanted was $110 with shipping. I wouldl never spend $110 for shoes, but they are worth every cent.
Recently I had a check up, and I tipped the scales of 239 pounds. My Cholestral is high, and my BMI, is high. I am now working with a nutrtionist and eating better, walking more to help speed up this slow metabolism of mine.
I want to be healthy. I want to fit better in my clothes. I am comfortable with me, but I also know I need to make some lifestyle changes for the better.
I think it is important for us, to eat right and keep moving. excercise and eating heathy go hand in hand.
I also have (maybe I should say HAD) a longtime case of plantar fasciitis which nothing seemed to alleviate. Bought the MBTs which for me were quite expensive, and they helped a little but I did not find them spectacularly comfortable, especially for the exorbitant price. In mid-September, I tried on a pair of the Metabolize style Skechers Shape Ups, and had to take them home. Fantastic! My foot pain is mostly gone, and while I tend to be skeptical of claims that mere shoes can make you more fit, I really think my posture is better and my legs and backside are tighter (or so I’ve been told). I didn’t have any soreness at all after wearing them, either. I then ordered the Elasticity winter boots, which are very nice and accommodate my wide calves (FYI, treat them with waterproof spray before wearing them in snow), and am eagerly awaiting the delivery this week of the mary Jane-style Physicals. As you can probably tell, I’m really sold on these shoes!
Just to update…I received my Mary Jane-style Physicals today (great deal on Footwear, Etc. with free shipping and no sales tax), and love them. I got the Toffee color — they are much nicer looking than I was expecting, and super comfortable. Also, they are true to size, unlike MBTs which I had to buy a size larger than I normally wear. Very pleased!
hi, I am waiting to have a hip resurfacing surgery due to a car accident I was in several years ago. Prior to wearing shape ups, I was unable to walk short distances without getting a shooting pain going down my right leg. I also work at a school where I stand 95% of the day. These shoes have been a lifesaver. They are the only shoes that I have worn in the past 4 weeks. I own a pair a fit flops and love them as well, but the sketcher shape ups are good for the winter months. Prior to owning these shoes I would mainly on wear born shoes. I plan on getting another pair. I am not sure if they are helping me loose weight, but they are helping me walk with out pain and as a mother of a 1 and 4 year old boys that is a wonderful thing!!!
I’ve been looking for boots for the last couple months and ended up ordering a couple pairs from piperlime.com and one from endless.com. Spent around $400 in total. Received all of the boots and was disappointed in their quality (for all of them being real leather/suede, they looked plasticy and fake) and comfort for how expensive they were! Decided since they were so spendy and I didn’t LOVE everything about them I’d return them and find cheap knockoffs (if I can’t get the quality I think I’ve paid for, I might as well save money, right?). Just ordered 6 pairs of boots for $137 and used a free shipping promotion! My expectations are very, VERY low, but I guess we’ll see what happens when they come! I’ll post my experience here when they arrive!
Oh, and I went and looked at http://www.jimastyle.com that someone suggested. Don’t waste your time. Very little to choose from and what’s there looks even worse than gojane.com clothing!
Would not recommend – Not anything like MBT
Joyce
I just bought a pair of shapeups and wondering if I should wear my orthotics that I usually wear in these type shoes? I also have SI joint and Scoliosis problems….
Hi Tracy!
We’re happy to read that you’ll soon try Fanci-Full Temporary Hair Color. This awesome product actually blends grays by coating the hair shaft. It essentially “tricks” the eye. Because the color doesn’t penetrate the shaft and leaves hair after one shampoo, it’s risk-free and non-damaging. Another good thing is that it can be applied to wet or dry hair in minutes with your fingers or a cotton ball (for spot application).
Please let me know if you have questions along the way. I am excited to hear of your results.
Happy coloring,
Heather

Hi Heather,
I tried the Fanci-Full Temporary Hair Color last week and it worked! It temporarily covered my gray and I plan to use it often since I have a stubborn gray patch in the front of my hair.
Thanks,
Tracy
Hot Mama Daily
Awesome! That’s great to hear.
the solia’s moving plates pull my hair out – have hair all over the sink and floor and the ends stick up straight! not so with other brands. plates get gummed up easily from products and requires cleaning after each use – not so with other brands.
I love love love her! True fashionista<3
I have been walking in MBTs for over a year now. I tried on a pair of sketchers but I needed a larger size. They felt very similar to my MBTs. I love that they help with my plantar fasciitis. Also after wearing them for so long you don’t feel the pull on your calves at all and in fact I can’t seem to wear other shoes much. As far as walking and weight loss– well at my age of over 55 I walk 4-5 times a week for 30-40 minutes in my MBTs and have not lost any weight at all. My abs are definitely not tighter. I know I walk at a moderate pace too as I wear a pedometer. I know that my feet don’t hurt when I have to walk long distances. So while they are great for legs, posture and feet, I can’t say that they help with burning more calories while walking at all.
I want to win this trip!
yes,uggs,i love its!!!!!!!!
I have been coloring my hair about every 8 weeks and it was with permanent dye. Will this make a difference? I also have put curls in my hair. Still OK?
Please let me know and I will let you know how my first time with your product was.
Thanks,
Dianne
Hi Dianne,
I used the Fanci-Full once and it temporarily covers your gray. But it comes out once you wash it, so don’t expect it to have the same results as permanent dye. And I don’t think it matters if your hair is in curls or straight.
Let me know if you try it and what you think!
Best,
Tracy
Man i was so disapointed to hear all this..i had bougt 10 of them before i finally ran out and went to the drug store this saturday to go buy some more and i couldn’t find it anymore!!! Garnier fructis better start making it again i would pay $20 dollars if i had tooo. because its the best product out there, there nothing like it. All there other products for curly hair does not come close to this product.
Great Lash is an absolute classic!! Thanks for the tip about the wax strips too. At that price, I may just be brave enough to try them!
I already started my Yogurt diet, wish me luck!
Good luck! You’ve given me incentive to revisit this diet.
I went to try a pair of these shape ups by skechers today and thought wow these are so comfy but $100? naw…and I left. Then I came home and read all of these reviews on these shoes and am sold!!! I’m going back to get them tonight! Thank you for sharing! I have been walking 3 miles a day for the last 2 weeks in my regular walking gym shoes and my shins are killing me but I push on because I have 30 lbs to go…I can’t wait to see how the shapeups will help me with my shins and my weight loss.
YAY!
what was
she thinking
with that hair
Exciting! I’ve been using Miss Jessie’s and liking the results. Now, I’m definitely going to try Be Curly. Thanks!
I purchased a pair of Skechers Shape Ups and to my dismay wound up at the Podiatrist three weeks later when I coulnd’t walk. I had excrutiating pain in my left foot. My doctor said she just read the latest in a medical journal and it seems that after about 3 weeks of wearing them people are developing tendonitis. Guess what?! I HAD TENDONITIS AND IT WAS THE THIRD WEEK WEARING THEM. I went on some strong anti-inflammatory meds and voila the pain is gone. Never had it before wearing these sneakers and hope it does not return.
Do you have any thoughts as to which brand might fit a wide foot better–Skechers or MBTs?
