I discovered recently that wearing toasty warm socks after getting into bed (the fleece kind of socks, preferrably), is without question the fastest way to warm up ice-cube legs. An able-bodied friend recently told me about her obsession with wearing these uber-thick socks to bed each night. She swears by them. And that got me thinking to before my injury. I used to wear socks to bed too. The sheets just felt weird on my barefeet. But after my injury, well you know what happened…(couldn’t feel my feet, so I forgot about this). Anyways, I am here to loudly proclaim that even if you can’t feel your feet, your feet…

Well people, I finally took my own advice and bought a cropped jacket at Target last week. Mine was a different version than the one shown here (couldn’t find it on their site to show you), but the cut is pretty much exactly the same as the one I’m featuring (Mossimo Black Cropped Jacket – Chestnut, for $13.99). After looking for over 15 years as a wheelchair-user, and as a jacket expert who I lives in a cold climate (winters that last from Oct – April), I’ve looked long and hard, and yes, the cropped jacket is BY FAR the best design for wheelchair-users. I finally found the holy grail of jackets!…

The Shoe Goddess may have good taste, but little does she know that these Colin Stuart Mary Jane Platform Heels (available at Victoria’s Secret), which she recently recommended on her blog, are also a well-heeled fashion tip for women who use wheelchairs. The double straps, the stacked heel (great for balancing on foot plates), and the subtle color choices (making them a greart, core shoe closet item), are a simply fantastic buy for women like us. I too want these in rose satin. Talk about the most perfect shade of pink! Gorg. You can buy your pair here for $78. – Tiff

Out of all the clothing on this planet, there’s one garment that’s without a doubt the hardest to put on if you’re paralyzed: And that’s the jacket.  When you’re in a wheelchair, reaching behind/around you, while trying to avoid getting your jacket caught on your push handles (if you have them that is) is seriously one of the most scream-inducing things ever. And even though I’ve been injured for 15 years, I still haven’t found a trick that works every time. Have you? It’s almost winter and jacket-season is upon us. Help! I’m sick of fighting with my bloody jacket! – Tiff PS. And no, ponchos are not an option. Can you say EW?
