“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

I am very picky when it comes to shoes. At home I am usually always barefoot or I have my flip flops on. Shoes with high arches bother my feet and wearing socks unless its COLD never really sounds appealing. During the winter I like to slip on boots without socks. When it comes to sneakers though, I am usually against wearing them without socks until  now.

This month I was on a mission to find a pair of new Skyscape Runaround Walking Shoes by Reebok. I had seen they had more colors but since pink is my favorite color, I was determined on getting a pair in HOT PINK. I wanted to try a pair on first before I bought them because not all shoes run exactly the same size. I normally wear a size 8 shoe but sometimes have to buy an 8.5.  My local Kohl’s didn’t have the Skyscape so I went with ordering a pair online and  to be safe, I ordered them in 8.5.

When my order arrived I was anxious to try on my new pair of shoes. I tried them on at first with socks to make sure they were a good fit before I broke them in with my bare feet. They were very comfortable with socks but the real test was going to be when I put them on without my socks.

The Reebok Skyscape Runaround shoes are different from any shoes I have ever worn. They are lightweight at only 5 ounces, comfortable, cute and best of all,  they are WASHABLE. I am pretty good at keeping my new shoes clean but you can’t keep them clean forever. Now I haven’t had the chance to get them dirty enough to wash them yet, but I heard online that they come out of the wash mashing looking like new.

Here are the features of these cool shoes:

Next it was time to try them without the socks. As soon as I started to slip my foot into these shoes I knew I was going to really like them. Normally I don’t wear shoes without socks because the seams in the shoes will bug my picky toes. These shoes have a seamless construction that makes them non-irritating as well as foam material that makes you feel like you are stepping onto a pillow.

I love how these look with no socks in shorts, capris, skirts and they might even look cute with a dress. Now that I have my pink pair I want a pair in grey and black so that I have a pair to match with every outfit.

This month I was invited to be one of the All Good April Ambassadors to help celebrate a month long celebration of all things goods hosted by Carrington Farms.

This month Carrington Farms sent me some of their coconut oil, coconut cooking oil and some organic milled flax seeds. I was excited about the coconut oil because I LOVE to use coconut oil when I bake sweets like cakes or cupcakes that call for vegetable oil. Not only does it taste better, it can offer some benefits too!

I really like that they have two different coconut oil products. I plan on using the pure and unrefined coconut oil to make some homemade lip gloss with my daughters. As far as the coconut cooking oil, I look forward to seeing how this product taste like compared to the other brands I have used.

I am a big fan of coconut oil for lots of reasons. Below are some of the health benefits of coconut oil:

• Coconut Oil possesses a wide variety of health benefits due to its fiber and nutritional content. It has earned the moniker of the “healthiest oil in the world”.
• Coconut oil is made up of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). These fatty acids do not have a negative effect on cholesterol. They are known to lower the risk of heart disease and arteriosclerosis. The liver and the gall bladder do not need to digest and emulsify MCFA, resulting in instant energy, increased metabolic rate and subsequently more heat production and increased circulation.
• Coconut Oil also has been known to kill bacteria, ease acid reflux, aid in proper bowel function, lower incidence of hemorrhoids, relieves intestinal problems, sooths ear aches, strengthen the liver, reduces joint and muscle inflammation.

These are just some of the health benefits. There are also a variety of uses for this product too! To find out more about the Carrington Farms products, visit their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/CarringtonFarms

 

 

There are some people out there that enjoy leaving notes for their loved ones. Maybe even on their car windows!

That is where the big BIC Magic Markers come in handy. For bloggers like me, you can use the marker to write your website name on your window! Forget those expensive magnets, just draw on your window instead.

What I love about these markers is they come off really easy. I just used a baby wipe and it came off in seconds.

The BIC Magic Markers come in multiple sizes too. I had fun with the big pink marker but they have them in smaller sizes too!

Besides having fun with the windows on your car, I am sure you could have fun with the windows on your house too, especially during the holidays or maybe welcoming someone home!

What would use use these markers for?
