WHERE I WENT AND WHAT HAPPENED WITH VIVAIA | A Tangent That Nobody Asked For

[@samanthatheminimalist]

I bought shoes from vivaia about a year ago and I also ordered some from rothys to try and compare since they are so similar. In some ways the vivaia shoes were more comfortable (when I took a few steps around my house) but at the end of the day, they were a smidge narrow, a little weird looking to me, and the heel chafed my foot. And they made it SO HARD to return them. It was absurd. I had to write negative posts about them on instagram to get their attention and they kept pressuring me to exchange instead and I said no!

I’ve never tried rothys, but I hear a lot of people talking about them. I think the VIVAIA shoes are great for my weird feet because I have weird ankles and the springing sole gives them support 🙈 The returns thing is not ok though. I hate when companies make it difficult to return things. I had the same thing happen recently with Victoria’s Secret and ended up having to keep a £40 bra that didn’t even fit because the returns process was impossible! I’m still angry about it 😂 I did hear that VIVAIA is implementing an automatic returns system in June, which should make things better. I think all online shops should offer that

@@AimeeRebecca that is definitely a big improvement for them!

Aimee, you are not dramatic, you're just honest, responsible, and fair ❤️ very well sought traits these days 😘

[@AimeeRebecca]

Aww thank you! I really appreciate that! 🥰

Welcome to Mr Toad's Wild Ride! The construction work is annoying, the lighting is annoying, and my unscripted rambling is annoying too. It can only mean one thing - a tangent that nobody asked for! I've been feeling quite burned out lately and it's been a struggle to find the energy to pick up the camera and film. Honestly, just talking all of this through with you has been like a weight off my shoulders and I felt better right after I finished filming. Thank you for being my unofficial therapy session!

Their customer service is questionable at best

Thanks for the update! I was curious about what had happened.

[@AimeeRebecca]

Not a whole lot. I just immediately freak out over things is i think it’s going to affect my subscribers 🙈

Always great to see you! Re: social media, it isn't sustainable to keep up with them all, just pick your top (best) three and forget the others. So glad you got the BBC freelance! I think it will suit you!!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! Yeah, at one point I was trying to juggle KZbin, my blog, TikTok, Instagram, an email list, and a Facebook group. That didn’t last long! 😂
