Get Ready for Sandal Season!

Summer is almost upon us!  So we’re ready to sport our cute sandals and summer wedges.  When I’m shopping, I look for a shoe with form and function.  If I can’t walk comfortably in it, then what’s the point?  Here are some of my favorite summer shoe trends:

We may love to follow the trends, but our feet sure don’t.  Whether you’re forcing them into high heels, you work out frequently or you prefer walking barefoot, your feet are really feeling it!  No matter your foot troubles, we’ve got something just for you like top nail and foot products from Gehwol and Footlogix.  You can order in the comfort of your own home and with our speedy shipping, you’ll be sandal ready in no time!

• For fungus:  This condition may be embarrassing and uncomfortable but we can provide relief.  Footlogix #7 Anti-Fungal Formula is a cream foam that absorbs quickly to fight itching, cracking, burning and redness associated with fungal infections.  It is also waterproof and can be used as a preventative treatment.  Gehwol Nail Protection Pen is a convenient applicator to provide targeted treatment at the source of nail fungus.  This small, easy to use device is also great for travelling so you can treat while on the go.

• For sweaty feet:  Let’s face it – hot summer weather means we’ll be wearing more flip flops and sandals.  Fight odor with Gehwol Foot and Shoe Deodorant.  This easy to use spray works to prevent and remove sweat and odor from feet and shoes!

• For calluses:  Footlogix Sanitizable Waterproof Foot File is double sided, a great value and works wonders on dry, rough calluses.  An additional treat for your feet is Pevonia Botanica Callous-Free Dry Oil.  Instead of a heavy cream that takes forever to absorb, you can spray and go with this unique mist that utilizes Glycolic Acid to remove dead skin cells.

• For moderately rough, dry feet:  For less severe conditions and everyday use, try exfoliating sea salts and nourishing butter blends from Cuccio.  From yummy scents like Milk & Honey to revitalizing Papaya & Guava Nectar, your feet are in for a treat!

MaMa Mio = The BEST Mommy Products!

Calling all MaMas!

I remember when I was pregnant with my little one, how frustrating it was to find products that I knew for certain were safe to use during pregnancy. I'm not sure if everyone has this struggle or not, but I was one incredibly cautious (maybe even overly so) MaMa. Especially since it took us five years to conceive so I was going to make darn sure that I didn't do anything to jeopardize our pregnancy!

Fortunately, things have changed over the last five years and there are several pregnancy safe marketed lines available today. By far, however, the absolute BEST on the market are offered from MaMa Mio.  I recently started using a few of their amazing products and thought I would share my results with you and a few more that are on my Gotta Try List.

The Mama Mio Omega Shower Cream was the first thing I grabbed from the shelf.  I tend to be a little picky when it comes to my shower cream.  I deal with those lovely bumps on my upper arms and legs and have used the same shower gel for years now.  Honestly, the only reason I even tried this is because hubby and I are making one last attempt for baby #2.....so, being ever so hopeful, I figured I should venture and try a pregnancy safe shower gel.  Results?  I REALLY like this stuff!  It's incredibly moisturizing and I love the fragrance!  It reminds me of being at the spa....ahhhh!  I love this product so much AND we are running a current special where if you purchase $45 or more of MaMa Mio, you will get an Omega Shower Cream for FREE!  Check here for more details.  

The next thing I snagged was the Mama Mio Omega Super-Rich Body Cream.  I have tried a ton of lotions...and I seriously mean a ton!  The more I can manage to exfoliate and moisturize, the less I have to deal with my body bumps...so, needless to say that since I have dealt with this skin issue since I was a child, I have seriously tried practically every lotion on the market.  Again, I was impressed!  The lotion goes on well (some lotions take forever to absorb), smells heavenly, and is incredibly hydrating.  If you have a loved one who is pregnant, I would most definitely recommend both of these products!

Now onto my GOTTA TRY list......

First is the Mama Mio Bootcamp for Tummies.  After having my little girl, things just aren't the same in that department.  I have heard phenomenal raves about this system.  The kit includes two products, the Skin Tight Toning Serum and the Get Waisted Body Shaper.  The products combined with an exercise program will flatten, tighten, smooth, AND define your tummy....all things that need to be happening to my tummy right now!

I honestly would love to try all of their bootcamps the tummy, arm, and boob (yes, that's right boob bootcamp!)   I personally prefer to work out at home away from all of the madness of a gym, so these bootcamps are ideal for me.  You will definitely be seeing future blogs on many of their products from me!
