Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs in women as they age. It marks the end of reproductive years and the cessation of menstrual cycles. This transition is often accompanied by a variety of symptoms that can range from mild to severe. One concept that has gained traction in recent years is the idea of the "Seven Witches of Menopause," which refers to seven common symptoms that women may experience during this time. These symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain, fatigue, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances. Hot flashes are perhaps the most well-known symptom of menopause.

DIY Witch's Boot - 7 Days of Thrift Shop Flips

Oh my goodness! We are getting so close to the end of 7 Days of Thrift Shop Flips. just one more day!

Today is Day 6 and I have another Halloween themed project!

Every thrift shop has shoes right? Check out that section for what you'll need for this project.

I will confess that these were my shoes, not something I purchased at the thrift store. I was just about to throw them out because the faux leather is cracking and flaking but then I decided to upcycle them instead! They reminded me of witch's boots so that's what I decided to make with one!

You can get creative with how you paint yours, but I'll share what I did if you want to make yours the same as mine 😊

If your shoes don't have the different sections like mine did, you can always just create your own by color blocking in the same manner as if you did have an actual dividing line. Paint the top portion black.

Hosting a DIY Halloween Witches Shoe Part is so much fun. Gather up the family in your home or grab a few friends for a night of creativity. You will find this project can work for most ages, even the little ones can help pick colors and allow to paint. The fun part about doing this as a party is that you can run ideas past each other to get inspiration. We did this over a mother-daughter weekend. My mom, Joan Atwood, her sister Janet and three of her girls Teina and Shalisa, were there and our cousin Cassie Sandou. While working, it was so fun to see how different each of the shoes turned out and how much fun it was to collaborate as we learned how to make witches’ shoes for Halloween.

Hot flashes are perhaps the most well-known symptom of menopause. They are characterized by sudden feelings of intense heat, often accompanied by sweating and flushing of the face. Night sweats are similar to hot flashes but occur during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and fatigue.

PROJECT INSPIRATION:

A few years ago, we went to Eden, UT, for a family vacation with my Grandma Craig and all her kids. Lily was just born, and I had the chance to join them. It is tradition to bring some craft projects to work on during our get-togethers. I am not sure who got the stuff or who saw the inspiration pieces on Pinterest, but they brought thrift store heels, and we transformed them on the trip. It is always interesting to watch personalities come out when starting a craft party. Let me share a few examples; I wanted some inspiration, so I spent about an hour looking at completed Pinterest shoes. Mom and Janet jumped right in to start creating the shape of their shoes with paper mache. Grandma began to cautiously look to them to get opinions and advice throughout each step. Mr. creativity John Craig, the creator of Niko the Dragon, went dumpster diving outside the condo to see if he could find anything exciting. Sure enough, he found a metal long fork that he later put into his shoe’s nose.

Mood swings are another common symptom, with many women experiencing emotional changes such as irritability, anxiety, and depression. Weight gain is also common during menopause, particularly in the abdominal area. This can be frustrating for women who have never had issues with weight before. Fatigue is a symptom that affects many women going through menopause. It can be caused by hormonal changes, sleep disturbances, and stress. Vaginal dryness is another common symptom that can lead to discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse. Sleep disturbances are prevalent during menopause, with many women experiencing difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. This can lead to daytime fatigue and irritability. While these symptoms can be challenging to deal with, there are various treatment options available to help women manage them. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one option that involves taking hormones to alleviate symptoms. Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise, can also be beneficial. In conclusion, the seven witches of menopause represent common symptoms that women may experience during this transitional phase in their lives. While these symptoms can be challenging, there are ways to manage and alleviate them, allowing women to navigate this stage of life comfortably..
