Why Wear Ski Socks?

Ski socks are specifically designed to be worn with ski boots. A regular sock does not have the proper cushioning to protect against boot pressure.
Ski boots and heavy gear require extra protection that regular socks cannot provide
Without this cushioning, especially on the shin and heel, ski performance is impaired and skiing is less enjoyable. ski socks are also important for snowboarding. The proper ski sock can even enable a faster muscle recovery after skiing.
Ski Socks are necessary for snowboarding to cushion the impact of landing. Regular socks provide no protection.

We like the strong support in the Achilles tendon and arch. It helps feet not tire in ski boots or a day of standing on my feet in street wear boots.

TINY BUT FIERCE: Handmade Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set with Mirror Travel Case

April 12, 2018 · 5 Comments

What would we do without our makeup brushes, they turn us into beauty ninjas. But lugging around full-size brushes requires a full-size makeup bag on vacation, at the gym and for touchups before after-work dinner or drink plans. That is cumbersome and impractical. While there are always the applicators that come with the makeup, these are generally of poor quality. We recently tried Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set with Mirror Travel Case. Unlike mass production brush kits, these brushes are hand-made in the USA and meet our on the go beauty needs with a face blender, cream shadow, eyeshadow and fine eyeliner brush in a mirrored case.

The handy Belle mini brush set is about the size of a cell phone case and holds four quality brushes and mirror

WHAT THIS SET CONTAINS

THE CASE: The shiny metallic case is roughly the size of a phone. It has a sturdy zipper and contains the four brushes. The brushes each come with plastic cap sleeves to keep them nice and protect the bristles when not in use. The inside of the case holds a mirror for on-the-go touchups.

 

This Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set has four brushes in a mirrored case:

  • Face blender brush
  • Powder/Dry eye shadow brush
  • Cream shadow brush
  • Ultra-fine eye liner brush

The Bella case zips open to reveal four brushes that can be used to apply or blend all your on the go makeup

MATERIAL QUALITY & CONSTRUCTION

We find many mini brush sets, even those from higher-end boutique beauty stores, to be rather cheaply made. We use them a few times and they break or the bristles fall out. They also aren’t all that effective in applying or blending product. This set, however, is constructed with quality materials including durable brass ferrules, the finest hair for bristles that do not shed in use or during washing. I found they withstood powder, cream, BB Primer, Foundation, shadow, gel liner, and concealer.

Bristles that do not fall out, are soft, high quality and durable

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE BELLA MINI COSMETIC BRUSH SET BRUSHES

DRY/POWDER EYESHADOW BRUSH: Many of my favorite eyeshadow palettes, such as the Urban Decay Naked series, come with quality brushes that enable a smooth application, so for touchups or post-gym shadow re-dos, I want to use a quality brush as well. I find the eyeshadow brush comparable to the UD brushes I use both in the soft feel of the bristle, the stiffness that picks up the shadow, the lack of fallout upon application, and ease of use.

Bella dry eyeshadow brush loads color well without fallout. Shown here with Urban Decay Walk of Shame Eyeshadow, my go-to work day neutral eye base shade.

At just shy of four inches, (9.8 cm) this eye shadow brush is an especially nice size for the UD Basics/UD Basics 2/UD and UD Naked Petite Heat, the five shadow compacts that are perfect for pocket or purse but don’t come with a brush.

The ideal size for purse size mini palettes or palettes that do not come with a worthy shadow brush

The ideal size for purse size mini palettes or palettes that do not come with a worthy shadow brush

This brush is just the right size and function, with a thicker base that thins out for better blending. It applies shadow exceptionally smoothly, I like it just as well as my full-size $30 brand name boutique eyeshadow brush.

Blends smoothly and evenly with no fallout

CREAM EYESHADOW BRUSH: For use with cream shadows, I also find this useful for re-applying a base or blending my YSL Eclat or re-applying liquid or cream concealer for mid-day touchups. I use cream eyeshadows less, but find that cream shadow brushes tend to not pick up product evenly, or that there ends up being a fair amount of waste. This brush deposits product without streaks, I like the smoother application, I can get a nice thin coat of shadow.

In a pinch, I find it useful for precise creamy/liquid highlighter, such as MAC Strobe highlighter on the cheekbones. It is not as thicker a diameter as the dry eyeshadow brush, the bristles are straight.

Cream Eye Shadow brush is thinner in diameter for precise application without streaks

EYELINER BRUSH: This brush has a cap when closed, so it can transport some product on the brush is you choose to “pre-load it” with liner product when you are at home such as mineral powder, gel or cream liner from a pot, such as Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wearing Eyeliner Gel or Maybelline’s cream liner, then you have it for touchups without having to carry the liner product. The cap fits onto the end of the brush to make a long handle which makes it easier to create a thin line or cat-eye liner. The cap stays put, and it is steady enough for doing a thicker cat-eye or heavy liquid liner on the go for a transition from a work look to after dinner eye makeup look.

The liner brush tip is not too hard, not too soft. It doesn’t drag or skip on the application. Angle it for a thin or thick line.

I also find it useful to wet the brush either with water or a drop of Visine to create a liner out of dry eyeshadow, I especially like lining my eyes with a few of the UD Basics, such as the black shade, or if I am doing a particularly heavy lash look, a thin line of the taupe eyeshadow applied with the thick end of the brush gives some definition without giving too dark of a look around the lower lashline.

Ideal for wet shadow liner application or shadowing over liquid or cream liner

Lastly, this is a nice size for pressing a bit of eyeshadow over the top liner to powder it down into place, make the line more even, intense and long-lasting.

FACE BLENDER BRUSH: The bristles on this are exceptionally soft and fluffy, but it still blends contour, foundation, powder, and blush very well. The versatile cream, liquid and powder use of this brush makes it a nice go-to item for your bag. It blends makeup well without streaking.

The versatile Bella Face Blender Brush works with both creamy foundations and powder makeup

It is soft to the touch but stiff enough to apply powder in an even thin layer.

The face blender brush is SO FLUFFY yet is stiff enough to blend smoothly

I particularly like this brush for blush touchups during the day, and it works well after a gym workout or while traveling to use it for BB Primer or foundation. By pinching down on each side of the head, it becomes an excellent fan brush travel dupe.

CONCLUSION

This Bella Mini Travel Makeup Brush Set with Mirror Travel Case features four easy to grip, ergonomic handles, soft bristles, portable, attractive, sturdy storage. The set is highly versatile, attractive, durable, fits in even the smallest of makeup bags, and contains brushes that are ergonomic, easy to use, sturdy, and offer an exceptionally smooth application. The set comes with a no-hassle money-back guarantee and one-year return window. A great gift for yourself, a friend, a constant traveler, or anyone who would appreciate quality craftsmanship in a portable and practical brush set.

SMART DIVAS: Fashionably Planning with Abrie James 2018 Planner Book

January 30, 2018 · 6 Comments

There’s precedent for being fashionably late, but there’s no excuse for “fashionably forgetful”. We juggle many roles and must plan accordingly. Nothing beats prepping for upcoming events like a visual spread of the entire week or month, especially when starting a business or blog, planning a wedding or otherwise keeping numerous appointments per week including managing a busy household. And our favorite new tool to schedule our professional and personal lives is the Abrie James 2018 Planner Book: a fashionable, chic planner that looks so good you’ll want to carry it everywhere.

The Abrie James 2018 Planner

WHY A FASHIONABLE PLANNER

When was the last time someone complimented your day planner?

For me, it was my 8th grade Lisa Frank homework planner. No shade on Lisa Frank, for she’s the undisputed, reigning queen of aiding tween girls to get stuff done. But it seems like we grew up and most planners didn’t.

The majority of planners aren’t much more sophisticated in appearance or function beyond that which we used to remember when to bring our gym uniform and for keeping track of Algebra homework due dates. And, these “whimsical” patterned planners look silly in the hands of any woman who wants to be taken seriously while actively adulting.

Close up detail on the Abrie James planner cover

Most appointment books are either stodgy, pretentious, boring leatherette books or have overly kitschy or froofy patterns. Neither will do. When a client looks at your attire, including your accessories, what do they see? I want clients to find me elegant, creative, reliable, innovative and intelligent. Why should my weekly planner look out of place with that image? Abrie James appointment books are inspired by fashionable runway looks and come in colors and patterns of a feminine, fashionable, creative, stylish and intelligent grown-up.

Abrie James planners are fashionable, useful and fun to use

THE ABRIE JAMES PLANNER AESTHETIC

My Abrie James planner matches much of my work attire. It comes in shades of deep grey and black, with a pop of feminine yet sophisticated rose-colored 2018 text. Other Abrie James planners have elegant graffiti, colorful lines, marbles, and metallics.

But don’t judge an appointment book entirely by its’ cover, no matter how fashionable it may be. Abrie James Planners help organize tasks to the tune of the needs of a busy adult, and if I may say, even us A-Types.

WHY A PAPER PLANNER BOOK IS LIFE-OPTIMIZING MUST-HAVE

Recording appointments on tablets and phones are useful for short-term reminder prompts of where we have to be and when. But these do little for helping us visualize our time or to prepare for these events. A paper planner helps us do just that.

  • WEEKLY VIEW Each week is spread over two pages, with a full length lined sections per day that give enough room for planning, scheduling or journaling in detail. I find this daily journal section ideal for keeping personal and private goals separate from business schedules. It’s a good spot for detailing personal fitness or beauty goals such as water drinking, exercise and beauty treatment schedule for hair or skin, and other personal goals.

UNIQUE SECTIONS IN DETAIL

GRATITUDE SECTION

When we were young, our father said to us “How happy you are in life is directly related to how appreciative you are“. I’ve found this to be very true. But as a busy person who always has a to-do list longer than my arm, it’s difficult to pause and reflect on the good things, accomplishments and the people who were involved in them.

This planner enhances gratitude in two ways: with a section at the end of each month for writing down the things we are grateful for and a lovely set of thank you notes. In a world of memes, texts, and emails, a handwritten thank you note is a lost art, but an important one to best sustain personal and business relationships.

Using this planner to contemplate areas of your life to be grateful, such as a kind or encouraging word from a friend, a favor done, an opportunity offered, a mentors’ advice, or for a colleague, friend or serviceperson who went the extra mile for you, is a worthwhile investment in both them and yourself.

A section each month devoted to Gratitude.

I also liked the inspirational quotes along the page footers, including words of wisdom ranging from the Ancient Greek Philosophers to Robin Williams.

A PLANNER HELPS TO ACTUATE ONESELF FOR DECISIVE ACTION

Feel like a flip-flopper when it comes to making big decisions?

Many of us organize tasks by the Bullet Journal method. Prior to Bullet Journaling, GTD, AKA the Getting Things Done method, as popular. According to David Allen, author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, the critical success factor to GTD accomplishment is what he calls “The Weekly Review”.

The Weekly Review consists of an analog review of all to-do lists and agendas on a weekly basis, where one gathers and processes all of their stuff, reviews their system and updates lists, revising and cleaning out old items, and moves forward. This Weekly Review helps us make decisive, quick decisions because we have clearly in mind what’s needed to advance our agendas.

Regardless of the method used, I find the Abrie James organizer an outstanding tool in this capacity.

PROFESSIONAL YET FEMININE STYLE: Estarer Women’s Laptop Briefcase

December 4, 2017 · 2 Comments

Need a professional, feminine, yet stylish laptop case for work? Most technology cases are functional but unfortunately strictly utilitarian looking, which leaves much to be desired for more stylishly dressed professionals. If you want a laptop case that compliments your wardrobe instead of distracting from it, then check out this Estarer Women’s Leather Laptop Briefcase.

A versatile and stylish bag that compliments many outfits both casual and girlie to professional and minimalist

OVERVIEW

This Estarer Women’s Leather Laptop Briefcase is a vertical briefcase that resembles the appearance of a handbag while securely holding laptops up to 15.6 inches. It has multiple pockets to hold your wares or accessories so you can carry your laptop, tablet, notepad, phone, pen, business cards, and even keep a small makeup bag and wallet discretely in one easy to carry case.

Estarer Women’s Business Briefcase Leather Shoulder Laptop Bag holds laptops up to 15.6 inches.

FEATURES

  • MATERIAL: Made of PU Leather which is a split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed. This retains the aesthetic of leather but with the durability to withstand rain and resist scratches that can occur while the bag is in transit.
  • SIZE: The bag is 12″ long by *3.5″ wide by *16″ high. It can hold a laptop up to 15.6 inches.
  • VERSATILE COLORS: The bag comes in black, red, wine red, and brown.

COMFORTABLE TO CARRY

This easy to carry bag has two drop handles and an optional detachable shoulder strap. It’s ideal for those who work in professional fields that require looking put together, such as sales, designers or artists. I like having a bag that I can carry my MacBook so that it stays protected yet looks stylish and sleek.

The feminine, stylish yet professional laptop briefcase bag by Estarer

There are two ways to carry the bag, top drop hand handles and by shoulder-strap.

  • TOP DROP HANDLES: The top handle is for carrying the bag by hand and has two handle straps that are well stitched and sturdy, each is about 6.8″ high and is comfortable in the hand.
  • DETACHABLE SHOULDER STRAP is about 34″, so it can be worn off the shoulder or across the body like a messenger bag if desired.

HANDLES

The bag is ideal for bringing my laptop to the office, the handles are easy to grip and well support my laptop, tablet and power cords while looking stylish. The color provides a nice pop of color for those who work in a more conservative corporate office or law firm.

Here is a close up look at the handles. The handle drop is generous and I find it to be comfortable to hold the bag with my hand or loop it over my forearm when necessary such as when I holding keys or a cup of coffee in my hand or extending my hand for a handshake.

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE ESTARER LAPTOP CASE

I prefer laptops on the larger side, at least 15 inches. But finding an attractive case that looks professional for this size laptop can be difficult. I also prefer that a laptop case does not look like a blatant laptop case for some safety while commuting or carrying it in public. I like that this case appears more like a vertical bag than a laptop briefcase per say, yet it still looks very professional and it is not bulky or cumbersome. The bag compliments many items of clothing that I tend to wear to work.
Despite being slimline and sleek, the laptop compartment is well-secured and padded nicely.

It is comfortable to carry by the hand straps or the detachable shoulder strap. The strap is long enough for me to wear it across my body if I wish to carry the bag close to my body or even underneath my coat while traveling or walking through busy city streets.

It securely holds my 15.6-inch laptop or my 15 inch MacBook. I like having a stylish bag to carry my MacBook for presentations and meetings where design elements are presented.

It can also hold my iPad or other tablet, charger cords, my phone and a few small personal items such as mints and a lipstick, and it is easy to access the front pocket and zippered cases without having to open the main bag compartment.

While a backpack style laptop holder is convenient, it is not necessarily professional looking for an office worker, salesperson, artist or consultant. A backpack can also wrinkle your work clothes, giving a less professional, unkempt appearance. The option of either carrying by hand or shoulder strap keeps my blazers, suits and dresses presentable without the crush marks that laptop backpacks can make on my clothes.

Estarer Women’s Leather Laptop Briefcase matches feminine and professional outfits and the colors are so versatile!

CONCLUSION

The perfect companion for the on-the-go professional, the Estarer Women’s Leather Laptop Briefcase is stylish, slimline and sleek. It is comfortable to carry while still transporting all my necessary work equipment. It looks feminine while being minimalist enough to appear professionally attired while carrying a laptop or presentation materials discretely. Unlike many laptop case bags, it is not utilitarian or dull. The bag comes in several neutral and versatile colors that work well with most wardrobe choices, making it an ideal choice for those who work in the arts, sales, consultants, advertising, legal professions, academics, or anyone who does presentations or brings their laptops with them to work. Sturdy enough to protect the bag but not heavy or cumbersome, I love having a discrete, attractive way to transport my mid to larger sized laptops that is not bulky or cumbersome.
