Nike Classic vs. Nike Air Max

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 05:24:00 +0000

Nike Classic vs. Nike Air Max

Nike Trainers come in all sorts of designs, versions and types. From the Nike Free Run+ to the Nike FlyKnit Racer, it can take some substantial website scrolling to figure out which is the best model for you. Two of the most publicized and popular makes have to be the Nike Air Max and the old-school Nike Classic - both of these shoes are ridiculously comfortable, with a lightweight feel you wouldn't expect from their appearance. Don't be fooled into thinking this makes them unsupportive though - any pro athlete will tell you that your performance is only enhanced by feeling as if you're walking on air.

If you're struggling to choose between the two iconic designs, take a look at this rundown of the pros and cons of each.

Running

Here, the Nike Air Max comes up trumps. Designed to almost mold around the foot, it's light and quite literally airy. With its cushioned base around the sole, which in recent versions now runs further along the entire base of the foot, it gives the wearer buoyancy and support simultaneously. This makes these shoes perfect for running on harder surfaces, including pavements, tracks, tarmac or a treadmill. However, these durable running shoes should still allow you to perform just as well when taking to softer terrain such as grass or earth.

Football / Rugby

Although Nike Air Max will support the runner through a boggy field, when it comes to darting around, throwing yourself to the ground and kicking a ball, the Nike Classic is the better option here. Slightly more sturdy than the Nike Air Max in that they are a little heavier, have a thicker sole and provide a harder shell for the foot, they come in a variety of designs, with fabrics varying from simple suede to tougher leather. All of these should provide the foot with that crucial extra protection when it comes to kicking footballs or rugby balls.

Tennis

Given that the game of tennis requires its player to be nimble, the Air Max is the one for this sport. As previously mentioned, it's ideal for harder surfaces, so even if the match is taking place on the shorn grass of Wimbledon, this is the better option. The Air Max will allow the tennis player to make swift movements, springing off the cushioned base to run, change direction and jump for the ball. Even more ideal is the fact that the support of this design allows you to land firmly on your feet and lightly make your next move when the ball returns your way.

General Training

Again, the Air Max is more appropriate for general gym training. There is less need for protection and thick-shelled support when working out on an exercise machine or when on weight machines. It's best to opt for this lighter shoe when working out indoors - this would also apply when playing sports such as basketball or badminton on indoor courts. Give this shoe a go when on the rowing machine, or when lifting weights, and you're sure to see the benefits.

Son’s Room, New Beginning

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 10:00:00 +0000

I just started working on his room last week. We purchased him a new bed, and I saw the opportunity to design. He is a huge Bulls fan and likes red, and blue. I found a way to use both colors that offer pattern without being to girly for his taste. I don’t want to come in and totally remove all the things that he loves just for the sake of design. At the end of the day, what matters most is that his room feels like HIS ROOM.

The FEED pillow: Clearance at Target for $7.50
Red pattern sheet set: Threshold by Target $22.00 for Full size on clearance
White shams: West Elm on clearance for $9.99
Comforter: Target, regular price $59.99
Lamp: Target on clearance for $11 and shade for $9.99

Stay tuned for the complete redo that I have in my head, with his approval of course at 13 year young.

Eye Glasses 101

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 05:51:00 +0000

Have glasses been important to you and your style? I would have to say for me the answer is yes. Recently I ran across the most beautiful eyeglasses by Ray Ban and Elizabeth and James. Something classic goes a long way in terms of eyeglasses. The color of your frames, and the shape are what keeps them going on for years without looking dated.

Sunglasses on the other hand are totally different. Of course the mirrored lenses are all the rave right now in style. However, that look wont last forever. Usually black frames, or tortoise frames last a lifetime. When you buy glasses always remember your options are open all over the place.

Eyeglasses and Sunglasses are always the perfect ending to and outfit. Similar to earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

GlassesUSA has always been a great option to going into a store to make a purchase on anything glasses. They are a one stop shop for all things glasses. Any style, and at great costs. If a name brand is not something that matters much to you, don’t worry. There are replicas out there that look great, and will save you money. I personally picked up some replica eye glasses and the whole family takes a turn wearing them.

Look around the internet, and be sure to stop by GlassesUSA and compare your savings. You cant go wrong. If you are looking for prescription eyeglasses, they can help you to.

SHEINSIDE.COM POOR SERVICE

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 May 2013 10:00:00 +0000

When I am happy with a store, I am proud to praise them and share with you guys. When I am NOT HAPPY with a store, well…you get the idea.

I purchased the shirt below from SHEINSIDE.COM only to discover that it came with a defect/stain/color imbalance on the sleeve. For starters it took forever to get to me. I placed my order on 4/13/2013 and it arrived last week. I contacted them and told them about the stain. I have had to conversate now for 8 days with them via email. Going back and forth. I request a resolve, they send their idea of a resolve, then change their mind with another email. Just a terrible way to do business.

GET IT TOGETHER SHEINSIDE.COM , and QUICKLY. Service is everything, and your service is terrible. The sad thing is my issue is still not resolved because I am waiting on another email. They wont take the item back because shipping was free? Crazy.

BE CAUTIOUS SHOPPERS!

#C9atTarget Fitness and Health

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 02 May 2013 00:04:00 +0000

Let me start by saying that I am not the person that LOVES to workout. I find time to workout, and do things that work for me. I don’t enjoy sweating gallons of fluid, and pumping iron for an hour. However, fitness and health is important to me. Not only do I have a reason to live healthier, but I want to. For me I started by removing childhood foods that are not healthy, followed by a work out tailored to fit ME. I have to be active just to keep up with two teenagers, and all that comes with my life. Life never stops.

What works for me is a bit simple. I open my front door, and simply start walking. I enjoy walking the neighborhood, or a nearby park while processing thoughts on things I need to do. I find that to be more peaceful for ME. Or when I take my son to practice, I walk. I watch him do this thing for an hour, and beat the pavement (or the gym floor) for the next hour.

My advice to anyone wanting to get a workout in, is work to your own pace. Also, do what works for you. Don’t try to keep up with Jenny, Molly, and Sue. Simply…

DO YOU!

Now, if only my workout gear could look this good..

Tam

These shorts have to be one of my favorite new clothing items. Faux leather, and very good quality at that. They are roomy, fabulous, and uber stylish. For only $40, this is one trend that I hope lasts a lifetime.

If you like these as much as I do. They can be purchased at Front Row. This was my first purchase with Front Row, and I give them 10 stars. Easy checkout, and FAST SHIPPING. I was shocked when FedEx delivered my package yesterday, after just ordering at the end of the last week.

OPI Matte TOPCOAT

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:34:00 +0000

My new favorite OPI product is the MATTE TOPCOAT. Last week I tried this on black nails, and was in LOVE. I decided to try blue today, and love it as well. I have tried it with lighter colors, and it doesn’t really give the same affect as it does with dark colors. image a forest green, or even a dark vamp red in matter. Gorg right?
