  • Keeping myself busy solo adventuring in Waterton and putting my camper build to the test. Only one thing isn't working quite right so I had to get a little resourceful!

    Shower Shoes! this is no joke... FAAFO athletes foot, warts, toe nail fungus and whatever else. Flips flops are shower shoes.

    • @FrethKindheart
      @FrethKindheart 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This! Do not use a public shower without shower shoes or swimming shoes. Trust me, you don't want athlete's foot, nor do you want plantar's warts. They are both painful and hard to get rid of.

      But also the bathroom is not being used by loads of people. And it seems like the hotel is doing really well for itself too. Girl I love your videos ! they’re literally just what I needed. You’re so inspiring. 🫶 stay safe and stay warm

I recently discovered your videos but I’d like to say “CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!!!❣️” 🎉🎊🎈 Also, I know that I’m late as far as this but I hope you have a pair of shower shoes to use while you’re out on your adventures.
