Kushyfoot: Take Care Of Your Feet!

Happy Friday!!!

For today's post, I just wanted to share these amazing Kushyfoot products sent by our friends over at Lipton Publicity with you guys:

For over ten years, legwear and footwear sensation Kushyfoot has expanded its dedicated following by offering shoppers reflexology-inspired legwear with a foot-massaging sole. Combine that with pitch-perfect styling at a reasonable price (nothing over $9.99), you have an offer that can't be beat. Each year, Kushyfoot demonstrates that they not only stay on top of every relevant market trend, but know how to perfectly translate their insights into fashionable and functional products that will delight existing and new customers alike. The Spring 2014 Kushyfoot collection -- highlighting a stellar choice of more than 20 super-hot foot covers, including brand new styles and up-to-the-minute colors -- is no exception.

1. Sport Foot Cover

- Ventilated mesh top

- Arch support

- Stay-put heel

- Precision fit

- Cool and comfy 

Price: $13.47 for 3 pairs

2. Sheer Anklet

- Zig-zag sole to protect the ball of your foot

- Super stretchy design to fit every foot shape and size

Price: $11.97 for 3 pairs

3. Ultra Low Cut Foot Covers

- Comes in basic shades

- Zig-zag sole

- Stretchy design

Price: $23.97 for 6 pairs

4. Extreme Low Cut Foot Covers

- Stays hidden at all times

- Padded sole to cushion the ball of your foot

- Heel grip to ensure a stay-put fit every time

These products are a definite must-have!

For as long as I can remember, I've been wanting to find the perfect no-show foot covers to wear with my shoes -- none really worked until I got Kushyfoot.

Working in retail, I am on my foot the whole day, so these definitely help with the heel guards and foot cushions. :)

They are also very affordable and super worth it!

Review: Emjoi® Micro-Pedi Nano

Hello, hello!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!!! :)

Okay... I know, I know, I said back in June that I will be back with more blog posts -- I'm so sorry!

I got so busy balancing my two jobs (I haven't had a day off in 22 days), but now I am slowly easing back into blogging and I am hoping to seriously keep up with it because I've missed you all and I have quite a few obligations I have to meet.

Which brings us to today's post...

First off, huge apologies to our friends over at Lipton Publicity for the delay on this review! I am so sorry!

But yeah, guys, this review has been long overdue, so without any further ado, let's get on with it:

Emjoi® Micro-Pedi Nano

This warm-weather season, the search is over before it begins for the ideal and essential beauty tool... a product that actually performs to perfection a task that everyone needs done. Here it is: the Emjoi® Micro-Pedi Nano - a sleek, compact home pedicure tool that quickly, hygienically and painlessly removes hard cracked skin and calluses from the soles of the feet with spa-like results.

Price: $24.95

The Emjoi® Micro-Pedi Nano has totally changed home pedicures for me -- the soles of my feet are smoother than ever! Gone are the days when I would use a pumice stone, haha! ;)

- Compact and easy to take anywhere

- Spa-quality performance

- Interchangeable rollers

- Accommodates a wide range of specialized attachments

Its micro-mineral roller spins at 30 times a second.

It easily and painlessly removes dry, rough, hardened, and callused skin.

It is safe to use compared to blade-based scrapers and more effective than the average pumice stone.

You are going to need two AA batteries -- not a problem at all, so easy to get! ;)

A tiny cleaning brush also comes with it -- it totally comes in handy and is a very nice touch to add to the product as a whole!

This is so perfect for the whole year, especially for summer when the weather calls for smooth and callus-free feet. ;)

I think it's definitely worth the investment because it is handy and versatile. It is something that will never go out of use. And the fact that it can be used with different attachments is a definite plus!

The other specialized attachments that can be used with your Emjoi® Micro-Pedi Nano are:

Micro-Pedi Coarse + Extra Coarse Rollers, Micro-Pedi Extra Coarse Rollers, Micro-Pedi Super Coarse Rollers, Micro-Pedi Elbow Exfoliation Rollers, and Micro-Pedi Xtreme Coarse Rollers.

Final Verdict: We all need this in our lives!

Visit www.emjoi.com to get your very own Emjoi® Micro-Pedi Nano today. :)

HELLO! :D

Hi, guys! It's Mimi here! :)

Just wanted to let you know that I will be back with new blog posts soon!

I miss you all!!!

Spring Semester: CampusBookRentals.com! :)

Happy Sunday!

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring semester and once again www.CampusBookRentals.com is at our rescue!

Fellow College students, here are the perks of renting textbooks from CampusBookRentals.com: 

 - You can save 40-90% off of bookstore prices. 

- Free shipping both ways! 

- You can highlight the textbooks. 

- They have flexible renting periods. 

- They have a guaranteed 30-day risk-free returns. 

-They have been a trusted source since 2007! 

-They have a live customer support. 

- They have the largest selection of textbooks in the nation.

 RentBack is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own to other students... which is awesome because it helps us earn 2 to 4 times more money compared to what we'd make through buyback options! So amazing! :)

OASAP: Turtleneck Batwing Sleeved Belted Sweater and Teardrop Pattern Necklace + Outfit

Happy Sunday!

I've mentioned a couple of times how my busy school and work schedule has taken a huge amount of time away from blogging... and as promised, every change I get, I blog! ;)

So right now, I want to show you guys the amazing items I got from OASAP:

Turtleneck Batwing Sleeved Belted Sweater and Teardrop Pattern Necklace and Earring Set

Let's talk about the necklace first...

The set features a layered necklace and teardrop earrings. 

The necklace with adjustable clasp. The earrings with post backs.

This necklace design has been going around for some time now, and I finally got one!

I was gonna go for a yellow, but I was like, hey I think it's time to go for something new -- so turquoise it is! ;)

It's really pretty and it goes with basically everything -- I always get compliments every time I wear this necklace = LOVE!

Price: $16.77
NOW: $10.06

Also available in: Blue, Black, Coral, Hot Pink, Light Blue, White, and Yellow

And now, the sweater...

The warm whole color sweater featuring a turtleneck, short batwing sleeves, loose waist with belt embellishment. In a regular fit.

When I saw this sweater on OASAP's website, it was love at first sight!

It just looked to me like a sweater that is flattering for everyone, and I was right!

I'm usually a little iffy about ordering one size items online, but this one is a winner! :)

I love how the batwing sleeves balance out the sweater's turtleneck.

I wear this sweater on days when it's cold but not really, haha! ;)

You can also wear a black long-sleeved shirt under for when it gets really cold.

As if I didn't already love it enough, they added this really flattering belt... tying the sweater will give you a sleeker, more polished look!

Price: $35.90

Also available in: Brown

The rest of my outfit...

I wore my sweater with my black Mari leggings from BCBG (where I work, by the way!!!)... I also wore it with simple embellished black ballet flats. :)

You can also keep up to date with them through Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Blogger, and Tumblr.

What do you guys think of this Turtleneck Batwing Sleeved Belted Sweater and Teardrop Pattern Necklace?

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and a happy January!!! :D
