Londontown: Kur & Lakur GLAM!

As part of a product review, I received some samples from Londontown.  I had never heard of this brand before but I am very pleased to have found it.  

Londontown is vegan, gluten and cruelty free and kur's Nail Hardener and Protective Top Coat are proudly, “5-Free”

The key ingredients in Londontown's products deeply moisterizes, prevents nails from cracking and splitting, supports strength, improves nail growth and promotes cell growth.  These ingredients include primrose, cucumber, garlic and chamomile extracts, vitamin A and E among other natural ingredients.

Each product works great on its own but when they work together they create a stronger bond.   Londontown protective top coat proved essential for any manicure is resistant and glossy.  Retails for $25.00

When in a rush and your nails wont dry, apply just a drop of Kur's Accelerating Drying Oil for a natural way to seal in your mani.  Retails for $25.00

and lastly, Lakur's lacquer.  This is Guarded Jewel.  Seen below in two coats and amazing gloss.

I featured Guarded Jewel for the B&W Nail Art Challenge as for the last day we were able to add one color.  Guarded Jewel came in as a crown jewel with merits of guarding.

Retails for $22.00

Cuddly Thermal-Aid: Review and Giveaway

 As part of a product review, I received a thermal aid cuddly buddy! Happy Hippo!!!! :)

He has really turned into a great friend of mine!

You would think this is for kids only but nooooo.. let me tell you.. .my only children are furry fluff balls they wont be using this  ... we're all kids at heart, and let's face it we also need that extra TLC from time to time..

Happy Hippo has turned into my best bedside friend ... it's been really hot and i've been really sick when fever burns you need to cool off!  I was too sick to take good pics and no one was here to do it for me so i'll just tell you.  I put Happy Hippo in the freezer for a while (6 hrs recommended) and he kept me cool for an entire afternoon (I think)... I fell asleep.

Thermal-aid is made of natural cotton and a heating/cooling element composed of a specially engineered corn and proudly made in the U.S.A.

Happy in the fridge

Happy making Milo happy!

Happy in the microwave

I also received a medium sectional heating/cooling pack! the thing is heavy!!! and a life saver for me for my chronic lumbar pain that I get once a month because of the mere fact of being a "girl" you get me? I hope!  i dont want to get too explicit.

It's heavy!!! I thought it was like 10 lbs.  but it's only 5lbs. I had to weight it I had to know.   I threw it in the microwave for 3 minutes placed it on my low back and I have no idea what felt BETTER the heat or the weight   :)  I was a happy camper... like Happy Hippo  :)

It has an unattractive utility look but works wonders :)

and as well as Happy Hippo, they are washable and wont accumulate germs and yucky stuff.

As part of a product review, I received a pair of Therafit's Deborah Sneaker.  I am a non-sneaker lover but we all know to get those nice workouts and long walks, at least one pair is a must!!! this is only my fifth pair but I really dont use three of the 5... This is my go-to sneaker.   :D

Shoe fits small. For a roomier feel consider ordering 1/2 size larger.

I thought the coolest thing was its customizable comfort "pins" here's how it works:

When working out or while at home... I always get that bad pain in my feet.  The so dreaded "I need to sit down" feeling is gone.  Just about the end of the day when my feet hurt the most, I take out two of the three adapters and my shoes automatically convert to an even more comfy shoe... it's like covertible shoes... from very comfy to even more comfy even somewhat bouncy!  :)

For personalized comfort:

starting with the inside of the shoe.. push the adapter with your thumb then pull


To put adapter back in, just push adapter in the direction of the arrow from the outside of the shoe and done!



As always, my box inspectors and photo bombers make their appearance, Milo just wouldnt go away.. he's a fellow shoe lover and just refused to go away.  Inside my Therafitshoe bag was the safest place.
:)

This has got to be the best shoe for women out there!  Therafit can be the perfect back to school gift.  Retails for $95.00 or you can enter below to win your very own pair.  (Cat not included!)
