The Perfect Fall and Winter Boot

October 17, 2014 by Samantha 3 Comments

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest.

I know that no one really wants to talk about it, but the reality is : Winter Is Coming Soon. In a matter of weeks I will battle with icy cold winds taking my breath away. I will curse the snow covered streets. I will whimper in dismay as I attempt to navigate the icy walks around town.

Knowing that the season of sneezin’ is on the way, I have began to prepare myself with outdoor gear to make my life comfortable, keep my body warm, and to help me get around safely. The first item I knew I wanted to address was my winter footwear. Face it, a great pair of boots can make your life a lot easier and safer too.

Let me tell you about the Thomas Boot 200 from Hi-Tec Inspired by Life. This is the ultimate Lifestyle Winter Boot. With a durable textile upper, i-shield technology to repel water and dirt, and Thinsulate™ insulation for that winter warmth, this is the perfect apres boot for any condition. OrthoLite® sockliner provides cushioning and a durable, celated high abrasion EVA outsole absorbs impact. Stylish features. MSRP $80.00

Lunsdale II Quilted Jacket

October 3, 2014 by Samantha 5 Comments

Unfortunately all seasons have to come to an end, and with those ends clothing options change as well. From summer to fall, then fall to winter- jacket and layers are necessities in many parts of the country. In mine it is absolutely necessary. Today we will be looking at a new jacket which is water proof and insulated for the perfect fall into winter jacket, the Lunsdale II Quilted Jacket.

The Lunsdale is built with some interesting technology involved, like the AquaDry Membrane mesh lining. This lining will not only keep you dry but also warm in all kinds of nasty weather. Along with the quilted construction of the jacket you will be comfortable and stylish in this jacket. The jacket also sports 9 pockets including 2 zipped hand warming pockets, 2 studded chest pockets, 1 mobile phone pocket, which can also be used as an mp3 player pocket, 1 Velcro credit card pocket for easy access during bitter cold days and 1 zipped inner pocket for those items you want to keep most safe. The storm flap and narrow inner zip guard help keep unwanted drafts out of the Lunsdale, keeping the jacket where you put it and most importantly wrapped around you.

Need New Sneakers? Stride Rite for All Seasons

September 23, 2014 by Samantha 4 Comments

My son, like so many of your children, wears a uniform to school. This means that he needs both playclothes as well as his uniform clothes. We need to have 2 wardrobes, but that doesn’t mean that we want to spend money like we are Donald Trump. You want the best for your child or children, but you don’t need to break the bank to get them what they want and need for school. You can save a lot of money by shopping at Stride Rite and picking up the new shoes you need, the styles you want, at prices you can afford to pay.

My boy needs brown shoes for school, and these Merrels fit the bill perfectly- they are also slip on (which saves much-needed time in the morning) and easy to clean. They are good in all sorts of weather, and they can easily dress up or down, which is something that I personally love about them. It’s like getting two shoes in one- and with how fast kids grow, it’s just one less thing you need to spend money on. Super durable, these are cute and easy to wear.

Here is a bit more info on the shoes-

“Casual, comfy and ready for anything, the Jungle Moc will easily become your child’s favorite. And, not just because they slip on easily and feel as comfortable their favorite slippers. Or because they have a great sole that grips when they need to. But because whether they are headed to school, a party or just running errands, these shoes are up to the task and will last until you have to insist on a new pair.”

Shopping with JCPenny

September 23, 2014 by Samantha 5 Comments

Back to School shopping can be a chore, but not if you find things your kids really love at prices you can afford to spend. While you might be able to use some of your child’s “last year” wardrobe, chances are they grew quite a bit and you will need to refresh their clothing for the upcoming year. I don’t always pick up everything over the summer, I like to wait and get some of their new items once school starts- it is easier on my wallet, and also lets me find the best sales and options.

Let me tell you about the amazing styles, variety, and prices you can find at JCPenny.

This is one of the stores I truly enjoy shopping at. Anyone who follows me on Foursquare or Twitter will know I am frequently at the store, and we love what we see. They have something for everyone in the family, any age, and of course a fantastic home and housewares section as well. I get myself into trouble every time I go….but not too much, because the prices are some of the best around.

September 16, 2014 by Samantha 6 Comments

When you spend a lot of time on your feet, sight seeing and dashing from location to location like I do, you understand the importance of comfortable yet stylish shoes. A pair of shoes can make or break an outfit or an entire day of travel. When I saw that there are few things that are less frustrating than a pair of shoes that pinch or leave blisters while you are on the road, you will just have to trust me.

Therafit sent me a pair of Roma Women’s Sport Casual Shoe in Taupe to try out. Before I tell you what I thought of the shoe, let me tell you a little more about the style.

Roma follows a chic trend in footwear ; fashion athletic shoes. While the style is trendy, the shoes are made with your feet in mind. With arch support and deep heel cups, this shoe is made to provide relief from foot pain. In my case Therafit prevented the on my achy feet all day long woes.

You all know that my girls are definitely girly girls. They love dresses, skirts, frills, and anything pink. I am always on the look out for adorable clothes for both of the girls. I was so excited to come across the Persnickety website.

About Persnickety:

Persnickety began just a few years ago as a little clothing company that produced small quntities of girls’ clothes to sell at farmers markets and fairs across Utah. They spent every Wednesday during their first summer in business driving to Park City with their five children to share Persnickety with all the lovely people that stopped by their table.

During that summer, Craig had the opportunity to travel with a group to Nicaragua to explore options for charitable giving – a part of the Persnickety drean that they are anxious to see unfold. His experience there was life-changing.

In February 2010 they launched their first wholesale line for the upcoming fall season. They had teamed up with some successful sales reps who helped them get the word out about Persnickety. They were pleasantly surprised when they ended up with about 50 girls clothing boutiques that first season.

Persnickety “Buying is Giving”:

Helping less fortunate children was one of the primary motivations for starting Persnickety Clothing Company. Their Buying is Giving program allows them to do just that. Every time an item of Persnickety clothing is purchased, they share a portion of the proceeds with children in need.

While visiting Nicaragua, they were able meet some amazing people that today help them manage their charitable operations in Nicaragua. They have really enjoyed seeing the change that has taken place in peoples lives as they have had an opportunity to use their talents to produce clothing for less fortunate children in their country. With Persnickety, they are able to work from home close to their little ones, which has been a great blessing to them.
