Fila Skeletoes Review!

Okay, they are a very unique looking shoe, but Skeletoes are a huge competitor when it comes to comfortable all-around footwear! Part of the barefoot shoes technology, Skeletoes were recently released by Fila. I was able to review a pair of these shoes, and barely had a chance to open them before my Mom decided she wanted a pair! (She even borrowed mine to go to Wal-Mart the other day!) In an eye-catching purple and black design, my Skeletoes are, indeed, the next best thing to barefoot! Skeletoes are made of a very lightweight nylon, with a rubber outsole. Velcro closures make these easy to slip on. I also love the feature that combines the 2 smallest toes! Definitely a million times more comfortable than if they were separated! If you buy a pair, you will not be disappointed!

Check out the sole on these shoes! Perfect for almost any terrain!

Cute and Comfy!

"Fila debuts its first style in the exciting and groundbreaking new minimalist barefoot footwear category. The Fila Skeletoes represent a casual activity shoe for the whole family that offers the next best thing to walking barefoot. Like high-tech socks, the tough yet soft and ultra-comfortable fitted design is ideally suited for casual outdoor activities like biking, boating, swimming, and walking.

These anytime, anywhere shoes with Fila’s signature four-toed “skeleton” design outsole will have the whole family stepping out in cutting edge style. An important comfort design attribute of Skeletoes is the EZ Slide feature that, along with pull bungees, combines the two smallest toes for ease of entry. Two-ply nylon and crisp clean color-matched printing offers a contemporary fitted sockless shoe with four-way stretch and two Velcro straps to ensure a perfect fit. A multipurpose slip resistant rubber provides maximum grip on all surfaces.

Minimalist shoe-loving parents never fear. Skeletoes are also a perfect fit for those special little people in your life. Skeletoes are available in children’s sizes and in an array of fun colors at a family friendly price.

To the sand, surf, trail and street! Fila offer a unique barefoot way for your family to strike out into the world -- regardless of the surface. Skeletoes are there for you every step of the way! Prices start at $55 for kids and $60 for adults."

Super Dining Armchairs!

I don't know about you, but I think you can tell a lot about someone by their home. Especially their dining room furniture. For example, some homes I walk into I can just tell they are a family that enjoys having friends over for dinner, and have a very home-y feel to the house. Then, there are others that have a cold, untouchable feel. Like you don't feel comfortable sitting down to eat! The dining armchairs you use for the dining room, like the rest of your furniture, make a statement. For example, check out this beautiful Victorian-style armchair from More Dining Chairs. 

Doesn't it make you think of a stately, elegant home? My sister is very into history, especially the Colonial period and such. This is the type of armchair I imagine her picking for her home!
I also enjoyed browsing the selection of upholstered dining chairs. I love these chairs with an oak finish. 

To me, these say comfy, pleasant and homey, with a rustic touch.  Definitely something I would love to furnish my dining room with!


Then, if you're like my younger brother, you prefer chairs with some movement. For example, these dining chairs with casters are exactly what he would choose. I admit, I do enjoy the mobility these chairs provide. 

So, whatever style, design or finish you're looking for, I recommend you check out More Dining Chairs. I found a number of chairs that would look great in our home!

GoJane.com Women's Super Shopping Site! Review

If you're shopping for new clothes, shoes or accessories-and don't want to pay an arm and a leg-you need to check out GoJane.com! I was amazed at the very affordable prices while browsing the site. GoJane offered to send me an item for review, and I chose the Bow Front Ballerina Flats. These are cute little shoes, that, obviously, meet my criteria of no heel! (okay, so I know I'm a little obsessed with it, but hey...that's me!). Honestly, I thought these shoes were so cute, though, I fell in love with the picture! My order was placed, and the shoes arrived just a few days later. I was excited to open the box and see if they really looked as nice as the picture, and sure enough, they did! I love the fun polka-dot lining, and they are soooo comfortable! The sizing was perfect, and they are seriously some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. They are great when I need a dressy-yet-casual look, or to pair with a denim skirt for Wednesday evening Church service. Very lightweight, yet well-made, I will be enjoying these shoes for some time to come!

Buffalo Games Gotcha! Review and Giveaway!!

 

A few months ago I reviewed a game called Truth Be Told, produced by Buffalo Games. Well, I recently had the pleasure of reviewing a new Buffalo Games game, called Gotcha! This is such a fun game! The first time we played, it was a girls night, and talk about a laughter-filled night! The premise of the game is very simple: catch other players breaking the rules, and you win! The game comes with a board, 8 colored pawns, and a deck of rule cards. There are qualifier cards as well. It starts out with 2 rule decks- "Everyone Male" and Everyone Female". But, shuffled throughout the deck are other cards to change those. For example, you can make the rules apply to everyone in jeans, everyone wearing black, everyone with blue eyes (that was a lot of fun the time we played and I was the only one with blue eyes :) etc. Then, the rules...everyone must repeat the last word they say say, say "roger that" after speaking each time, compliment the player on left, plug nose during player on left's entire turn, etc. This game quickly turns hilarious! The whole family loves it! We actually just got done with another game this evening, because M and M were begging to play all day. Seriously, whether you win or lose, you will love playing! It makes a great game for the family, or would be perfect for a party game! We will be bringing ours to visit friends in a couple weeks, and are looking forward to teaching them to play as well!

This one got everyone laughing!

"Game Description:   Gotcha! is the party game that breaks all the rules.  In Gotcha!, players race to hit the Buzzer whenever they see someone breaking a rule – all the while making sure they are following the rules themselves.  The more rules that are played, the funnier the game gets – a perfect mixture of laugh out loud fun and hectic mayhem! 

   

Game Contents:  110 Rule Cards (32 Top Rule Cards, 34 Bottom Rule Cards, 38 Individual Rule Cards, 6 Create-Your-Own Rule Cards); 8 Colored Pawns; 4 Orange Card mats; 1 Buzzer; 1 Gameboard; Instructions."

One of my readers will win their own Gotacha! Game!!
