Set your puppies free with these awesome Weil Renew sandals. Hippy chic rules.

July 23, 2013

My inner hippy is seeing stars with these Weil Renew sandals.  

Truth be told, I'm a long-time Birkenstock wearer.  I've worn several pairs to death for the past 15 years.  During the day there's nothing better than running around or working at my desk in a pair of the world's most orthodically-pleasing sandals.  Alas, it was time to mix it up.

My inner/hippy/comfort/chic/sandal radar led me here: Dr. Andrew Weil and his Intergrative Footwear.

I honestly think if you can pull of an orthopedic-loving shoe you are a true fashionista. I'm always up for the challenge.

After scouring the Dr. Andrew Weil website, I was super psyched land on these.  They come in Pink, Chocolate (what I wear) and Black.

They are all up in my ortho-wheelhouse chic vibe. I'm obsessed and addicted and have worn them every day since they arrived. 

Like the Dr. says:

 “Our feet are the connection to the earth and our body rests on them. Everything from the ground up really depends on our feet.” 

So why not be chic and comfy once and while and do something GREAT for your feet and body? 

 

The Renew Post Sandal (on sale now for $89!)

    With an adjustable twin buckle on the strap across the vamp, a backstrap and soft toe post, this sandal is equipped to renew your mind and body from the ground up. This bohemian sandal is for both the young and young at heart. 

  • Podiatrist-designed, biomechanical Tri-planar Motion Control footbed has a deep heel cup that stabilizes, supports and naturally realigns the feet.

  • Full-grain leather upper with buckle trim

  • EVA midsole with jute-wrapped rubber outsole

  • Soft, microfiber-covered footbed

  • APMA Seal of Acceptance.

Kat BURKI’S SIGNATURE CREAM IN Avocado & CUCUMBER – Too divine

Avocado and Cumber Body Cream
Is there such a thing as smelling TOO GOOD?  

Seriously, is it possible for a cream to be so divinely fragrant that it renders me helpless?  Peeps, I'm under a crazy scent spell like no other with Kat Burki's Signature Cream in the Avocado Cream & Cucumber scent ($62).

It's almost, too amazing.

I'm so transported by the scent that it's all I can think about. I am sitting here sniffing my arms all day. Honestly I don't know how to describe something this heavenly.  I was blown about by the Tuberose perfume and now this cream is taking my senses to new levels.

I want to eat it, bathe in it, roll around in it and make furniture out of it. 

Alas, it's simple a nourishing body cream, so I'm gonna have to calm the heck down and just deal with a few dabs a day so I can get on with my life.

I would say give this to your enemies so they will lose their minds in ecstasy.  But then everyone would fall in love with them because they smelled so good. So scratch that idea and treat yourself or someone you love to a whiff of heaven.  

98% Natural/70% Organic

Proprietary Organic Herb Blend, Organic Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe), Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil), Glyceryl Stearate, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Octyl Palmitate, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Theobro

Pamper your skin with a silk embrace, in this ultra-rich crème that leaves skin lightly fragranced and moisturized.

iGUY – or, Hey Kid Don’t Break my iPAD!!!!

July 17, 2013

The only thing that cheered me at Melrose Mac the other day when I thought my monitor had died, was seeing this on the shelves. I had no idea what it was but was simply drawn to how darn cute it was! Upon closer inspection, I realized it was just what I needed now that my three year old son is all UP IN MY iPAD! 
The iGuy from Speck Products is the great anxiety reducer for any parent with a kid who can't get his/her chicken-nuggeted-greasy-paws off Mommy's beloved iPad.  
He's fun, free-standing and kid-friendly. Designed to fit all full-size iPads — even the new iPad 4!
For $39.95, everyone is super happy!

Here are some deets:

A free-standing foam case for the new iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2 and iPad original.

Every bit as protective as he is a blast to use, iGuy iPad 4 cases are the perfect iPad accessory for kids and grownups alike.

He's lightweight, easy to hold, and he can stand on his own two feet, even while holding up your iPad.

He may look like he’s all about fun, but his soft, squishy body disguises tough EVA foam protection. iGuy iPad 3 covers will help you feel more secure as you hand your iPad over to your baby or small child!

  • Fits all full-size iPads (even the new iPad 4!)
  • Kid-tested. With flexible, foam construction, the lightweight iGuys are the perfect iPad accessories for families with young children.
  • Free-standing. For cartoon hour, the iGuy stands at attention—while it holds your iPad—offering a convenient viewing angle for short people.
  • Plays nice with all iPads. iPad with Retina display? iPad 2? Original iPad? No problem. The iGuy holds ‘em all.
  • Squeezeable. The iGuy’s little arms and soft foam make it easy—and even fun—to hold.

I just ordered mine (I wanted orange and they only had two lime left!!) and I don't know who I'm more excited for, me or my kids?
