Peerko Celebrate Night
On October 12, 2021 by NoeliaI feel so lucky I got to test one of the cutest models from Peerko, the Celebrate Night.

On May 21, 2021 by NoeliaI’ve been eyeing these Merry Jane Primal since their release.

On July 24, 2020 by NoeliaI have never been an athlete, but I enjoy going to the gym. A few years ago, because I didn’t have the time to go the gym, I decided to do my workouts at home.

Me
On June 24, 2020 by NoeliaI started my barefoot journey in the summer of 2019. I was in so much pain, I could barely walk and sleep. I started reading about non traditional healing methods and I found these sandals, called Earthrunners. They talk about the healing power of earthing, so I got a pair of their sandals and I
