Born 2 Impress 2013 Must Have Products- David Tishbi Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring Review and Giveaway

2013-05-25T10:03:00.000-04:00

I love one of a kind jewelry designs and I have recently found a jewelry designer that has a really amazing and outstanding jewelry collection. His pieces combine beautifully made jewelry with a very unique style that is David Tishbi signature look on the various pieces of his collection. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was when they agreed to allow me to feature one of the pieces of his Eden collection…Eden is one of the many different collections found in the
website.

I was given the opportunity to try the Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring that features a Royal paisley sterling silver textured ring with three spinning bands in 14K yellow gold, 14K raised gold and polished sterling silver. The Paisley designed is exquisite…the ring has a darker tone that gives it an antique look, but unlike any piece of jewelry I have owned or seen that has that aged silver look the Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring is not black…. It is more like a dark tone of gray…The band is Oxidized to get this dark aged tone, but it is done in such a way that it actually looks like the dark tone is part of the design…Maybe because of the fine lines on the band...

The band fits very comfortably and I love the three spinning bands on the ring that adds class, style and a playful touch to the ring. The Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring shows amazing craftsmanship and attention to details that speaks of the designers love and passion for jewelry.

One other thing that surprised me about the collection is that while you can immediately recognize these products as designer items. The collection has many different price ranges and you can get one of the pieces in these very exclusive collections for as little as 100.00 which really amazed me as I would have expected any piece on this collection to be a lot more expensive than that.

The Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring band is about 13 mm wide and as I mentioned, is very comfortable to wear. The three smaller gold bands on the silver band have a hammered design that adds an even more eye catching element that ties together the complete ring design.

The Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring has a retail price of 350.00…A very similar design is also available for less and they also offer beautiful pendants to go with the rings that are also part of the same collection…..You can also get the designer look from their Silver collection that starts as low as 45.00.
Win it:
David Tishbi has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free Tri-Tone Royal Paisley Spinner Ring ( second photo from top to bottom) in size of choice.

Born 2 Impress 2013 Must Have Products- NuMe NuMe Vintage Ceramic Flat Iron Review and Giveaway

2013-05-22T20:13:00.000-04:00

I am always looking for the best and newest products in the market. I spend a good amount of time doing different searches and researching some companies and their products and that is how I found NuMe.

Since I went back to work, I have started to pay closer attention to my appearance and the way I look, and this website and its products are just perfect. NuMe offers a great selection of hair tools and hair products to help you create and maintain a healthy and beautiful hair style so you can turn a magazine look into your everyday look.

The brand was introduced in the United States back in 2011 … working closely with stylists in the industry for over a decade, NuMe has taken everything they've learned to deliver quality products. NuMe has created products that will allow you to improve your look with ease. I was given the opportunity to try the NuMe Vintage Ceramic Iron for this review.

The straightener comes in a selection of fashion colors and features 100% solid ceramic plates which deliver precise infrared heat distribution avoiding damaging your hair while using the flat iron which is a great advantage for people that are not professionals on the use of this tool.

The NuMe Vintage Ceramic Iron features rounded barrel and total ergonomic design that makes styling simple, allowing you to control your flat iron to create locks, waves, or curls depending of the look you are going for…I use mine mainly to straighten my hair, but since I have shorter bangs on the side I usually do a little flip to frame my face that works really nice when using this straightener. The base of the cable swirls as you move the flat iron so it prevents your unit from tangling.

The NuMe Vintage Ceramic Iron features 1/4 inch floating plates for a more precise use and has the NuMe's unique alignment system to guarantee best contact between your hair and the temperature-controlled ceramic plates.

One feature I really like on this flat iron is the dual voltage that comes really handy when traveling outside the US.

The unit is really user friendly and has a disk like temperature control that goes from 140 – to 410 degrees F. The heating time is really quick as you can have your flat iron ready to go in a matter of seconds for the lower heat settings …It takes a bit longer for the higher settings. You will find an off and on button right next to the temperature control and a light on the bottom that shows red when not ready and turns green once the unit reaches the desired temperature …The NuMe Vintage Ceramic Iron also features negative ion technology.

The NuMe Vintage Ceramic Iron comes in a flip to open hard shell box that works nicely to store your unit when not in use. In addition, in the inside of the box, you will find a few quick tips for different hair styles and they even give you a short guide on how to get curls, waves, Flip in, Flip Out, Volumize or simply straighten your hair. Great to eliminate frizz and add shine to your hair.

As I mentioned, this flat iron is available in a selection of colors ….I decided to go with the giraffe and all I can say is that it is super cute and fashionable! The retail price on this flat iron is 165.00 and is on sale right now for 159.00.

Win it:
NuMe has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free NuMe Vintage Ceramic Iron in color of choice.

Born 2 Impress 2013 Must Have Products- ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy Review and Giveaway

2013-05-18T13:51:00.000-04:00

You have probably seen the TV Commercial for ABC Mouse. After seeing the TV ad, I took a peak to their website and actually talked about this program with some of my friends on Facebook that have signed up for it and that were very happy with the results they were getting from the ABC Mouse.com program, so I decided to contact them and see if they would be interested in a review. Fortunately they agreed and sent me a code that is good for a membership for a full year so I could do this review.

My daughter that is in kindergarten has been getting her report card and assignments marked as proficient which is good. I am very proud of my little lady, but her teacher recommended more reading….She is a little behind when it comes to reading, so I thought this program might help.

ABCmouse.com is a global education initiative of Age of Learning, Inc. Their goal is to help children build a strong foundation for future academic success by providing a comprehensive and engaging online curriculum to greatly assist early learners to succeed in pre-k, kindergarten, and early elementary school programs.

I must say I am still learning about all that is available through the ABC Mouse website. On the site, my almost 6 years old has a virtual class room with a teacher and has many different options to follow each and create a learning path. What I love the most about the site, is not only that my little lady has fun but she actually learns the things that will help her in school.

As I mentioned our main concern with her is reading as she gets frustrated when she does not get the words she sees correctly. What I have found in the ABC Mouse website that can help us guide her in the right direction is actually a complete selection of stories that are played on the computer…The words are highlighted as the story goes on which helps her to recognize new words and how they sound. They even explain which vowels are long and which vowels are short…The explanation is very comprehensive and easy to follow and they provide the kids with samples, so it is actually very hands on. Love it! It even has the sight words that the kids need to learn… or teach them about opposites…..A I said very complete, very impressive.

Reading is just one of the many things kids can learn through the site, the kids have access to math, the world around us, arts and colors, music and songs, they even have a library that kids can access through the “class room “.

There are also games that the kids can play…It is a lot of fun and more importantly the kids do spend time learning what they need in order to succeed in the actual classroom. The site keeps track of your kid’s development and the different activities they completed on the site. You can easily set up the site for your kid’s needs and you can have different profiles for different kids.

You can also change the settings if you think your kid is more or less advanced than what you originally thought. The ABC Mouse is definitely a great tool that is worth having and that you can have as a monthly service or buy a whole year membership (you get a discount when do the year membership). Overall I highly recommend the ABC Mouse program and as I said, you can try it for a month and see how it works for your…I am most certain you and your kids will love it!

Win it:

Protect-A-Bed® Launches Snoring Sweepstakes

2013-05-17T16:01:00.002-04:00

CHICAGO (May 17, 2013) – Do you live with someone who snores? Protect-A-Bed wants to hear from you. The company is launching its Who Snores More sweepstakes to find out who snores more in American households – men or women – and provide some snoring relief.

Protect-A-Bed is offering men and women the opportunity to nominate a male or female for the chance to win a SnoreBeGone® sleep positioning system, designed to position the body to overcome contributing factors that can increase the likeliness of snoring.

The sweepstakes is being kicked off right before Mother’s Day and will end soon after Father’s Day. “The idea is to give men the opportunity to provide women who snore the perfect Mother’s Day gift – help with snoring,” says James Bell, CEO of Protect-A-Bed. “Women, too, can nominate the dad in the household, just in time for Father’s Day.”

Six lucky winners will win a SnoreBeGone. One male and one female will be randomly selected on May 17, May 31 and June 14 to win the prizes. Two grand prize winners (one male and one female) will be randomly selected on June 21 to each win a $500 gift card to a national retailer.

“While snoring is no laughing matter, we wanted to have some fun with a sweepstakes and offer the chance for people who snore to get some relief,” says Bell. “It’s also a fun way to find out if men or women snore more, and offer a product that could potentially help them.”

According to Bell, the sweepstakes will run on Protect-A-Bed’s website, where participants will be asked a few questions regarding their significant other who snores, such as how the snoring affects them, what the snoring sounds like, and tips for getting more sleep while living with someone who snores.

To enter the Who Snores More sweepstakes, visit www.ProtectABed.com. Stay updated on the sweepstakes by becoming a fan of Protect-A-Bed’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ProtectABed) and following the company on Twitter (@Protect_A_Bed).

Born 2 Impress 2013 Must Have Products- ECCO Bags Review

2013-05-17T06:58:00.000-04:00

The product(s) provided for the review were sent to me free of charge from the company or the PR agency.My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

ECCO USA Inc., is the sales, marketing and distribution organization for the United States branch of the ECCO brand of footwear.

With many retail points, the company sells a range of footwear covering dress, casual, and performance, as well as running and golf categories for men, women and children. Founded in 1963 by Karl Toosbuy in southern Denmark, ECCO Shoes is known globally for its innovative products and uncompromising commitment to service. With more than 15,000 employees worldwide, ECCO remains family owned and operated with headquarters in Tonder, Denmark.

I came across the store a little while ago and with my passion for stylish high quality footwear and bags, I could not help but to fall in love with the brand and the designs! I have reviewed a couple of their shoes and love them…After trying their shoes I became a fan of the brand…ECCO also has some really fashionable and trendy hand bags among which you will find the ECCO Natal Sacbag which I received in black for this review.
As I am accustomed with ECCO products, I immediately noticed the quality of the materials used on the making of this bag. The ECCO Natal Sacbag…This bag is made of ECCO naturally grained leather and decorated with silver color hardware that provides the perfect finishing touch for this bag.

The Natal Sacbag features a detachable shoulder strap and wide handles, that are not only practical, they give the bag a very distance look and keeps the handles from digging on your shoulders as you can easily use the handles over the shoulder which is the way I wear most of my bags due to my height….One other thing I love about this bag and that is a very unusual feature, is the fact that the handles can be size adjusted! I leave the use of straps for when I am traveling and they do come in handy! The strap is sturdy and made with high quality materials…It also has a patch with the distinctive ECCO logo on it.

The ECCO Natal Sacbag is pretty deep inside allowing for a lot of storage space. The Natal Sacbag has a big main compartment along with a mobile phone pocket, zippered pocket and key ring strap that are found in the inside and meant to keep your essentials within easy reach ( since the bag is so deep inside it can be tricky to find small objects in the main compartment).

This design also features a very convenient water repellent lining that combines polyester and a nylon/cotton mix…The ECCO Natal Sacbag is really easy to dress up or dress down and the bag will look stunning with a business outfit and will complement informal attire as well.

The bag in adorned as I mentioned before with a non-polished silver color hardware that looks really nice on this bag and adds a unique touch to the bag as most hardware found now days has a shiny finish. Unique, versatile and very fashionable the ECCO Natal Sacbag would make a great addition to any modern and active woman with a passion for fashion trends.

Included with the ECCO Natal Sacbag you will find a dust bag with the ECCO logo to keep your bag protected when you are not using it!

The ECCO Natal Sacbag is available in either black or cognac and has a retail price of 360.00

You can find ECCO on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest!

Born 2 Impress 2013 Summer Must Have Products- Baroni Design Jewelry Review and Giveaway

2013-05-15T18:06:00.005-04:00

The product(s) provided for the review were sent to me free of charge from the company or the PR agency.My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

I have a new obsession and this summer I am all about jewelry and accessories as I think that your accessories are like the cherry on the ice cream and I have a particular weakness for the Baroni Designed jewelry pieces…. Sarah Baroni started her longtime love affair with jewelry at a very young age. Often called little gypsy girl, she would pile on adornments for any occasion-–dress up or play. She still loves to adorn and be adorned, and appreciates an art form that celebrates the beauty and individuality of each wearer and you can see this in her very unique designs.
The Baroni web site offers a wide variety of products. The collection includes a wide range in sterling, 24k gold vermeil and striking stones to please all types of personalities and styles and a lot of these great designs will make a perfect accessory for this summer season!

I was given the opportunity to review the Six Rivers Necklace from the Baroni necklace collection. The necklace is simply adorable; the necklace is made of Chinese turquoise and is bezel set in sterling silver that hangs from a hand wrapped turquoise chain. The necklace design is fun, trendy and very easy to wear. The small turquoises on the chain and the small pedant (the pendant is a bit smaller that a dime), makes this necklace a great addition to your accessory box as it is really easy to combine with many different colors and clothing styles.

I love blue and this necklace has beautiful deep turquoise beads while allowing you to see two tones on the pendant that is lighter in the center…Some of the beads have a little bit of a dark color on them…hard to decide if they are black or a very dark brown, either way, it adds a really cute detail to the necklace and is what makes natural stones so unique and appealing. Another cute detail is the tiny plaque that reads Baroni right next to the lobster style clasp.

The necklace is available in your choice of gold or silver chain… While both of them look great, I have my heart set on silver, so I decided to go with the silver one which has a retail price of 113.00 for the sterling silver necklace and 124.00 for the 24k gold plate over sterling!

Both of them would make a wonderful mother’s day gift…By the way if you are looking into the Six Rivers Necklace you should take a look at their Summer Sky Ring also available in your choice of silver or gold plated!
Win it:
Baroni Designs has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free a Sterling Silver Six Rivers Necklace.

The product(s) provided for the review were sent to me free of charge from the company or the PR agency.The product(s) offered for the giveaway are free of charge, no purchase necessary. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

Lugz, the brand Built for the Street, has always been an innovator and leader in urban footwear. Lugz first made a name for itself in October of 1993, when it brought its first line of boots to market. Soon afterwards Lugz was endorsed by key players from the world of hip hop and has continued to do so throughout the years by creating trendsetting styles beyond boots, adding casual shoes and athletics to the mix.

A few months ago I was given the opportunity to review one of their boots and since my brother is a civil engineer and is always in the field I decided to go with the Classic Drifter work boot which worked perfect for him and his line of work…He liked the boots so much, that when I was given the opportunity to try pair of one of the new Lugz designs I immediately thought of him and since father’s day is quickly approaching I thought this would make a wonderful father’s day present.

In this opportunity I bring you the Lugs Zone Hi SR. The military style design features a hard and durable slip resistant outsole, making these boots a great work boot especially if you work outdoors. The Zone Hi SR is made with high quality material and while a good fit for work, it is also a really nice looking boot.

What makes the Zone a nice pair of boots for work? Well, let see they have Leather upper, along with the skip resistant outsole, and for added comfort, they feature a padded tongue and collar along with cushioned insole.

The short design boots are a great protective shoe that can be worn all year around. The boots are brown with an off-white stitching that creates a nice contrast between both colors and enhances the look on the boots. The Zone Hi SR is a lace up boot that combines performance and look for an affordable price as these boots have a retail price of 69.99. The Zone Hi SR is also available in black and it is just one of the many designs available on the Lugz catalog…And do not forget to take a look at their men’s summer collection that has trendy fashionable colors for this season!

Stylish Hats from Dorfman Pacific- Review

Summer is almost here and since I live in Florida, I want to make sure I am all ready for the really hot summer days we have here and more importantly I want to make sure I am protected against harmful UV rays that can lead to skin cancer. I have recently found a really stylish and cute way to keep myself protected….Hats are a great way to be stylish and a smart way to keep your face safe from the sun.

I was recently offered the chance to try the LP157 hat from Dorfman Pacific. This pacific flare hat features a floppy style with a 4-inch brim. The paper braid is both fashionable and practical at the same time as it has a self-sizing tie to adjust to one's head size which is great because I have a small head and sometimes have problems to find the right size hat and this design fits great once adjusted to my preferred size.

The LP157 Tropical Trends women's hat is available in four color variations....all of them natural with different trim tipping the brim, including black, tea, turquoise and fuchsia. I love blue, so I decided to go with the turquoise trim hat and I have to say I am really glad I did. And not only because blue is a big part of this summer’s trends, but because it looks amazing combined with the natural color of the hat and can be combined with many different colors including different shades of blue.

Another thing I really liked about this hat, is fact that it is very easy to pack if you are going on vacation. This can be challenging as you do not want to ruin the shape of the hat, but the LP157 actually recovers its original shape quite easily…They shipped my hat in a large envelope…I open it, fluffed it a little and laid it flat and the hat was like new in no time…This is a very unusual and handy feature. In addition the hat is light weight and easy to wear….More to love about it…. it carries the UPF Sun protection factor of 50 plus which is just what today's practical women want as added protection to their daily summer days outdoor escapades. I know this hat is going to be my biggest companion to the pool this summer.

The LP157 has a retail price of 25.00.

Born 2 Impress 2013 Must Have Products- SmartSilk Pillows Review and Giveaway.

2013-05-11T08:56:00.001-04:00

The product(s) provided for the review were sent to me free of charge from the company or the PR agency.My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

If you have been reading this blog, then you are probably aware of my husband’s allergy problems, as a result I am in search for new products that would help him to avoid severe allergy attacks…Most of his attacks actually happen at night time so I try to find products that allow him to have a better night’s sleep without the elements that can trigger an allergy episode and while doing of my searches, I came across SmartSilk.

The SmartSilk™ All Natural Bedding Collection provides all season comfort and the luxury of sleeping in breathable silk fill along with a soft cotton finish, offering a more comfortable night’s sleep. The SmartSilk™ Luxury Bedding Collection is created and produced in-house and was developed and designed in Canada.

I was given the opportunity to try a pair of the SmartSilk pillows for this review. The SmartSilk pillows feature a luxurious blend of all natural and luxurious material. The pillow features a cozy silk-filled liner that smoothly borders the complete pillow.

The all-natural very soft cotton outer shell of the pillow encases the SmartSilk unique polyester micro gel fiber filling providing you with a very comfortable mixture for a better and relaxing night's sleep. The pillow is not very fluffy or hard…it is actually more on the soft side. I tend to get a stiff neck if I do not use a proper pillow, but I get no pressure points on the neck when I use the SmartSilk pillows.

One more think I really like about these pillows is the SmartSilk™ Shield Advantage offers you a barrier against allergens, dust mites and pet dander that live on most down and synthetic pillows so this a great help to keep my husband’s allergies at bay!

There are different elements that are involved in the comfort and performance of this pillow : Inside Fill is made with 100% Polyester Micro Gel Fiber Fill, the Quilted Outer Cover is made with 100% cotton quality all natural soft cotton finish, breathable, and pre-shrunk 32 - 38 cotton yarn. The fill features all Natural SmartSilk™…Their silk fill is made by layering one sheet of luxurious pure silk over another to create the well-appointed comfort and protection that is what makes this pillows stand out. In addition the inside layer of non-woven material is water repellent. The non-woven material is crunch-free encouraging a more comfortable sleep, so you tend to sleep longer….DH has already claimed these pillow as his favorites and said they remind him of the kind of pillows you get in luxury hotels, so we give SmartSilk Pillows two thumbs up!

The pillows are available in different sizes, starting with standard that has a retail price of 65.00 each and the biggest size is the king that retails for 85.00 each.

Win it:
SmartSilk has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free set (2) standard size pillows!

Born 2 Impress Summer Must Have Products- Panton Sunglasses from Liberty Sports Review and Giveaway

2013-05-09T07:31:00.000-04:00

The product(s) provided for the review were sent to me free of charge from the company or the PR agency.My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

My husband likes sports and actually plays soccer at least once a week, golf whenever he has the chance, and fishing whenever he gets an invite. So he spends a lot of time outdoors and living in Florida means sunglasses are a must…Well actually he grabs a pair of sunglasses the minute he walks out the door even if he is not playing and is just going to work…sunglasses are a big deal in my place and we all try to keep our eyes well protected by wearing them. I recently had the chance to review the Panton Sunglasses from Liberty Sports.

Liberty sports offers a wide selection of sports sunglasses with trendy and appealing designs for sports and fashion lovers alike. Liberty Sports offers a wide selection of sunglasses geared for different sports…Actually the designs are so stylish that you can wear a lot of their glasses even if you do not practice any sports, but want a good looking and comfortable pair of sunglasses.

While Panton frames are surprisingly lightweight, they feature a very firm fit which adds comfort and helps you keep the sunglasses in place. The Panton frames are intended with the active person in mind. The glasses with wrap around design hugs the head nicely, providing adequate coverage for the eyes without obstructing peripheral vision so you can be aware of your soundings at all time, no matter if you are practicing a sport or simply driving around in your car.

The Panton features the Liberty Sports Autofit technology, which allows the glasses to adjust to you and your needs to increase the comfort level. The Panton also features hypoallergenic rubber material on the nose bridge that is flexible, breathes well and as I mentioned before helps to hold the glasses in place.

Another great feature on these glasses and one that I have not seen before, is the magnetic eye-cups which are part of Liberty Sports trademark designs and give their designs a very unique feature. These easily removable magnetic cups are easily removed, while these shields clip on to the arms of the frame and are held in place by magnets and provides extra protection when need it…It also changes the look of your glasses so is almost like having two different glasses in one.

The Panton are available in a few attractive colors, that will look great this summer I however decided to stick to the black design as it a bit more formal than the rest of the colors and as I said my husband wears his glasses everywhere. He says he really likes wearing them when he drives his convertible, as he doesn’t have any side protection from the sun, but these glasses now provide all the eye protection he needs.

The Panton comes with a semi-rigid case to keep your glasses protected when not in use…Great for when you are on the go and need to pack your glasses . Along with the case Liberty Sports includes a soft pouch for storage of the eye shields when they aren't magnetically attached to the frames, a soft cloth for lens cleaning and a clip on cord to keep your glasses around your neck when in an informal environment!

Win it:

Liberty Sports has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress the chance to win a free Panton Sunglasses in color of choice. Right on time for Father's Day!

Born 2 Impress 2013 Must Have Products- BB Becker "Wherever You Are" Sterling Silver Bangle Review and Giveaway

2013-05-07T17:26:00.000-04:00

Created in 2001 by BB Becker, BB Becker is a Denver-based company that designs and markets beautifully and carefully engraved jewelry for men and women. BB Becker founded his jewelry company after much study of ancient cultures and that lead to his artistic passion. He then developed a unique engraving technique that remains unmatched in clarity and longevity in the jewelry industry.….I found this company and products while doing one of my frequent searches for products that I think would be interesting and as you all know I love jewelry, but this collection struck me as different and I was immediately attracted to their designs.

I was given the opportunity to try the "Wherever You Are" Sterling Silver Bangle and if I need to use one single word to describe this bangle…I would have to choose stunning!

The design is really clean and simple, but the beauty of the piece resides in how beautiful the inscription on the bangle looks against the lustrous shine of the silver…Most of my jewelry is silver or white gold as I prefer this color and I have to say I did not own anything quite like this bangle…One thing that really caught my attention is how shinny the silver is and again the way the inscription looks on the bangle in which you can read: There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart. – Gandhi.

The bangle has a beautiful clap hook closure that for some reason reminds me of holding hands…The bangle is made with superior quality material and impeccable attention to details…It is truly amazing how clear the inscription is even though it is that small.

I consider myself a hard to impress person and I am beyond impressed with this bangle and the collection…This piece is an amazing gift for a friend that is going away and any special person in your life.

BB Becker has a really unique collection and some of the pieces in his catalog are true pieces of art, so if you like simple beautiful one of a kind jewelry or you are the more adventurous type and like your jewelry to make a statement, I highly recommend you to take a look around the BB Becker store….Be aware that these pieces are addictive and you might spend more than the time you planned reading the different quotes to deliver a very special message in a beautiful and unconventional way!

The “wherever You are Bangle” This is the one that inspired the Number one Xmas song in the UK from the Military wives choir. ( see the video bellow)

Mother's Day Gift Ideas- Robeez Shoes Review

2013-05-06T20:54:00.003-04:00

The product(s) provided for the review were sent to me free of charge from the company or the PR agency. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

Are you still shopping for mother’s day? If so I have an adorable idea for any expectant mother, new mom, or a mother of a toddler for that matter. You know about my shoe weakness and I was recently offered the opportunity to review some super cute baby shoes from Robeez. For those of you that are not familiar with the brand, Robeez offers a wide selection of shoes for the littlest members of your family. Robeez has very unique designs that are made with quality materials and attention to details.

One of my good friends is expecting a baby and I thought these baby shoes would make a wonderful mother’s day/ Welcome baby present, so when Robeez gave the chance to review a couple of their shoes I immediately though of her and the new baby girl!

For this review I was sent the Robeez Colorful Ballet Mini Shoez. There is only one word to describe these shoes and that is adorable. These have to be one of the cutest baby girl shoes I have seen. The Robeez Colorful Ballet Mini Shoez features Easy on, stays on…the elasticized back and adjustable fasteners help the shoes to stay on the little feet. The shoes that are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association are Non-skid rubber outsole to prevent slipping ( great for the little ones that are learning to walk). The shoes also feature very soft leather that bends in all direction providing extra comfort.

The shoes also have a very appealing (great for summer) color combination as the toes are made with a taupe color, the body of the shoe is white and the back and strap are made of a really cute pink color. The straps are adorned with an itty bitty bow that completes the princess like look on these shoes….As I said, they are simply ADORABLE! While in the photo the strap seems to be made of an elastic material, the shoes I was sent have the straps made of the same material as the back.

The Robeez Colorful Ballet Mini Shoez have a retail price of 34.00 and are available in size starting as little as 3-6 month and going all the way up to a 18-24 months size.
I was also sent the Robeez Cherry Blossoms Soft Soles. Also very cute, these shoes would be great for Spring/ summer as they feature an endearing off white shoe with a blossom embroidered design of pink flowers that creates a delicate look that will look great with many different outfits for your little princess this summer.

The shoes also feature an elasticized ankle band to help keep the shoes on the baby’s feet. Also made with elastic soft leather which makes these shoes a really good pair of shoes for infants, babies, pre-walkers and toddlers (they have non-slip suede soles).

At the back of the shoes, you will find a printed leather bow that adorns the heel which accents the shoes and completes the super cute look of these pair of shoes. They are also approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association which is always a plus!

What are you doing thies Summer?

2013-05-05T18:00:00.000-04:00

Summer is almost here and I have spent quite some time looking for fun activities to do and found something really interesting to do…I am not quite sure I am in the physical condition to do it, at least not this summer, but I think my husband being so competitive will enjoy participating on an obstacle course …Actually I found that they are having here in Florida a running event that gives the participants the opportunity to grab flags…each flag with a monetary value.

To make things even more interesting the participants have the choice to donate their earnings to a charity or they opt to keep it for themselves and it certainly looks really appealing, not only the competitive side of the event, but I think it is really neat that you have the option to donate the money to a charity.

This definitely seems like a lot of fun and a great way to test your endurance, not to mention that it would be a really neat way to train if you are into these kind of activities. This sort of activity is just perfect for the weekend warrior in your home. There are different events scheduled for different cities, so if you enjoy hardcore outdoors activities, take a look to see if they might have one in a near by city!
