Exfolimate...

I love exfoliating it is by far one of the best thing you can do for your skin. I was pretty excited to find out I was selected to try a new exfoliating tool called Exfolimate. It was a bit difficult to find out much about Exfolimate prior to receiving it, I did finally find a video that explained a bit more, but still wasn't thorough so I still didn't know exactly what to expect. I just waited for the package to arrive.
The day comes when my Exfolimate arrives in the mail, I open it and see to odd looking triangular objects one smaller one and one larger one. The small one is for your face and the larger for your body. There a stainless steel blade (not sharp, but for lack of a better term this is what I'm referring to it as one side and the rest is plastic.
I read the instructions and you basically just apply light pressure and run it across wet skin. I decide to give these odd things a try that evening. I use the one for body in the bath, and really can't tell if it's doing anything at all. The body one feels like you are shaving but without the hair removal. I decide to wait to try the face one until after my bath so I can look in a mirror.
Looking in the mirror I try the facial one, with this one I can see some results. I don't feel so much like it's exfoliating though as it is removing blackheads. This is basically like the blackhead/whitehead extraction tools except you can cover a larger area at once, but you do need to use a decent amount of pressure to accomplish anything.
I'm really still not sure what I think about these things. I may continue to use the facial on occasion to degunk pores, but the body one I double I will use. I typically use a loofah or exfoliationg body wash and feel I get more results from that than the body Exfolimate.

Skechers Cali Memory Foam Wedge Sandal

  I haven't owned a pair of good wedge sandals in years.  I am super picky about wedge sandals and most the new styles I don't care for either because of aesthetics, or comfort reasons.  Many of the current wedge offerings with thse type straps extend back towards the heel which I hate the look of, and others are just to hard of a footbed, or the shoe is very heavy. The Skechers Cali Memory Foam wedges have a very soft footbed (made of you guessed it.. Memory Foam), they are super cushy while still being supportive.  I have high arches and finding shoes can be a challenge for me, although I have great luck with most Skechers especially those with the memory foam, because it can conform to my foot.  These wedges do have a visible arch support on the footbed.  They are a fairly low heel at about 2 inches, I normally would prefer higher, but heel height is one area I'm more willing to compromise. Another great feature is that sandals are very lightw...

Banquette Seating from Ikea Kallax

I wanted a corner banquette in my eat in kitchen,but couldn't find anything I really liked. I decided to look into making one myself, after doing some research I chose to use the Ikea Kallax Shelving/Cubbie. The dimensions work really well for the space I have in my kitchen too. I chose to buiild my base first, so I could get accurate measurements to purchase your materials. Here are the materials you will need to make your cushion. Plywood- cut to size of your bench (Home Depot and Lowes can cut to size for free) I used 1/2 inch Foam- I used 2 inch (buy at any craft store, check for sales and coupons, foam isn't cheap) Quiters Batting- this is nice because it will hold together the foam and wood, and cover the bottom of the wood so you don't scratch your bench. Fabric- I was able to cover both benches with 2 yards of 54" wide fabric (my bench is 57.75" X 15.5") Tools: Staple Gun Hammer- for any staples that don't go in all the way Flat Head...

Skechers Reggae-Rasta Outdoor Lifestyle Sandal

I'm normally not a much of a sandal person aside from wedge sandals, which until my recent pair (also from Skechers), I haven't worn sandals for the past few years with  my old favorites being long past their life expectancy.  I had worked an event promoting Chaco Sandals and got a pair for free from working the event (gotta love my job). I was actually quite looking forward to trying the Chacos after seeing rave reviews and seeing they are podiatrist recommended and also a suggested sandal for Plantar Fascitis (not sure if I have it, but my mom does, and I do have high arches and get occasional symptoms of it). I worked the 3 day event in the Chacos both Z2 sandals and the Chaco Outcross (open air shoe/sandal hybrid), and while the arch support was great (almost too high even for me), the footbed was stiff.  I felt constant pressure on my arches especially in the sandals, in the Outcross, I felt the arch wasn't quite in the right spot, but still a very stiff footbe...
