The boots have an overlay tongue and durable d-ring lace up closure for a great fit. The speed hooks, padded tongue and collar, along with the updated sleek, slim toe shape don’t even make my size 11 feet, look big or bulky.

They keep my feet warm and dry even on the coldest days. They are so comfortable, they are perfect to wear on my walks as well. They have great traction which is perfect for surfaces with snow, slush or ice. They come in other colors too!

Choose TIME Slippers For High Performance Relaxation – #Giveaway

We are getting our first snowfall in New York today. It is the perfect day for me to appreciate the beauty of the falling snow from my windows as I write. Afterward, I plan to do some holiday baking, and then help my kids decorate a gingerbread house.

In the evening, we will build a roaring fire, and watch a Christmas movie together. I really need a day to kick back a little, and let myself enjoy some holiday fun. That can be difficult for me to do this time of year, because my editorial schedule is so full. However, today I am putting that time aside.

I am reminding myself of this today, by wearing my TIME Slippers. Who am I kidding? I have been wearing these slippers every day since I got them. The mid top, wool slippers have hard soles that I can and do wear outside, because they are so warm and cozy. No one even thinks they are slippers, as they look more like a mid top sneaker.

 

They are so easy to put on and take off, no laces to tie, and the handy hook and loop fastener flap in the back, lets you just slip your foot right in. I have had them for about a week, and I have been wearing them every day because they are so comfortable and they look great!

The yoga mat insoles make my feet feel great with 6mm of cushioning, that was expertly designed to be comfortable under pressure. The wool interior keeps my feet warm when it is cold and wicks away moisture to keep my feet comfortable. I chose the wool exterior, but they also have leather. TIME Slippers are all made using the finest quality materials.

If you travel, you will be able to sail right through TSA in these babies. They have many styles to choose from for men or women. Women, if you have big feet like I do, don’t despair. While their women’s sizes go up to 9.5, the slippers are unisex. That means that you can just order the men’s size that is the equivalent of what you need.

I can tell you, I wear a women’s 11,  I ordered the men’s size 9, and they fit perfectly. I was afraid they would be really wide or look huge ordering a men’s size, but they don’t. The stretch laces fit my narrow feet perfectly, but would easily expand to fit wider feet.

I love these slippers so much, they have been added to Mommy Ramblings 2017 Holiday Gift Guide. They would make a great gift for just about anyone!

Lugz, Women’s Shifter Work Boot Review & Giveaway!!!

Lugz-Logo

We have officially entered the winter season. If you are looking for a sharp looking, practical boot that will give you good traction no matter what winter dishes out, I have a recommendation.  I recently browsed Lugz great selection of boots and decided to try the Lugz, Women’s Shifter work boot in black.  Now, as a woman with size 11 feet, I was worried they would be huge and make my feet look tremendous.  I was wrong, in fact they make my feet look smaller.  The boots looked so small I thought they would be too small but they were not and provided lots of room for my feet.

The boots are sturdy and very high quality that will stand up to any amount of hard work or just a day out running errands.  The cushioned insoles keep my feet comfy and the sole provides lots of gripping traction to keep me on my feet and not slip sliding away on snowy or icy terrain.  As long time Lugz lovers, our family knows their shoes and boots stand up to lots of wear and keep looking good.  If you are looking for durable, good-looking footwear for your entire family, check out Lugz!

Right Now if you buy one pair of Lugz, you will get 50% Off another pair when you use the code BOGODEC but hurry this great offer ends December 30th!!! See the site for full details on this amazing offer.

Sunset Yoga Workshop in Brooklyn Bridge Park With Miz Mooz Shoes!!! #MizMoozMoves

Well, I am very proud to introduce my daughter Alexandra as a new guest blogger for Mommy Ramblings. Alexandra graduated with her Masters in Public Administration in May and is working full time with NJ Transit as a Transportation GIS Analyst.  She lives in the NYC area and will be covering local events and happenings in the city that never sleeps.  Her first event post is one I knew she would love.  She is a very active young woman and after work can be found jumping on a train to a yoga studio.  So the September 16th Sunset Yoga Workshop sponsored by Miz Mooz Shoes in Brooklyn Bridge Park had her name all over it.   For all the details read her post below:

Miz_Mooz_Logo

 

The weather was breezy but nice in the Harbor Side Park in DUMBO. The bright orange yoga mats were set up directly across the Manhattan skyline with a perfect view of the Statue of Liberty.

I am used to taking power yoga at my home studio but have been craving a slower flow and the teacher, Kelly, absolutely delivered. The poses she recommended were perfect to completely stretch out the body no matter if you were a novice or a very practiced yogi.

The class was very welcoming and provided a nice retreat from the chaos of the city. Miz Mooz showcased some very fashionable styles for fall and each blogger was sent home with a very comfortable espadrille style flat which I have been using for commuting on the PATH.

This post is sponsored by Nordstrom Rack but my word and opinions are as always 100% my own.

Closer and closer to school starting for us and it’s so bittersweet for me.  I don’t want the summer to be over.  I don’t want the days to grow shorter and colder and I definitely don’t want to head into the winter that everyone is predicting will be one of the worst!  As much as I try though, I can’t stop time.   With the kids heading back to school it’s important to make sure they start the year off right.  Did you know that the all-new nordstromrack.com has the top brands and latest styles for up to 70% off!  They really do, and they make it easy to dress to impress with designer brands at clearance prices.

pediped Debuts Spring/Summer 2014 Collection With 70 New Styles & Colors!!! Enter Our Giveaway To Win A Pair!!!

pediped

Shoes are so important for children’s feet.  Their feet are always growing and it sometimes can be hard to find the right fit.  pediped makes it easy for me to get the right fit for my kids and to get the most wear time from the shoes with the sizing tools on their site and the Flex Fit System.  The Flex Fit System allows for additional included insoles to be inserted or removed for a custom fit as your child’s foot grows.  These insoles can increase the size by as much as 1.5 inches, greatly increasing the life of the shoe. 

I recently selected the pediped Boulder Flex Waterproof hiker for my 6-year-old to review.  Right out of the box he could not wait to put them on.  With the winter we have been having these were the perfect shoe to wear to school because they were waterproof and warm.  They are flexible, comfortable and one of his favorite pairs of shoes to wear.  I have the inserts in now so he has lots of room to grow.  He is able to run and jump in them and be as active as he wants with them on and they are not stiff or cumbersome.

Dress First is the First and Last Place To Shop For Special Occasion Dresses of Every Kind!!!

dressfirst_logo

I think New Year’s Eve is not only about the start of a new year but a new season for dresses.  If you think about New Year’s Balls, you probably envision women with gorgeous full length ball gowns dancing and ringing in the new year with class and style. The new year seems to transition effortlessly into one formal event after another.  The start of spring brings with it college formals, high school proms, graduations and of course full speed ahead into wedding season.  Sometimes it can be overwhelming the amount of functions we’re invited to and the decisions on what to wear coupled with the expense of buying several different dresses. All those decisions can be stressful on your mind and your wallet!

I recently found out about Dress First and I have to share it with you!  DressFirst.com is the global leading online retailer for wedding gowns, special event dresses, wedding party dresses, and accessories.  Dress First takes great pride in providing their customers with high quality garments at affordable prices and exceptional customer service. Their enormous selections of dresses can be tailored to your exact specifications.

Wedding Dress

I could not believe the Wedding Dress collection and how low the prices were!   I was married way more than a few years ago, and my gown cost at least 10 times more than most of these dresses!  Imagine the savings for the parents of the bride!  But it does not stop there, you will find great styles for mother of the bride or groom, bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids.  They also sell a full line of accessories including wedding veils, shoes, jewelry, evening bags and more. The even carry maternity bridesmaids dresses.

Wedding Veil

 

Jewelry Sets

 

Short Wedding Dress

Bags

 

Are you a guest at a wedding?  They have gorgeous evening dresses of all types, lengths and styles.  Need a little black dress?  You should probably pick up a few with this selection and pricing.  If you have daughters heading to the prom, head on over to Dress First to see all the great styles.  Your daughter will love them and you will not have a heart attack when you check the price.  You might even consider doing a trash the dress photo shoot with the money you save!

Follow Dress First on Twitter and Facebook to get the latest updates and news on new inventory, sales, specials and more.  It may be cliché but you don’t need a million to look like a million.
