While surfing the net the other day, I stumbled upon these odd looking shoes. It’s the kind of shoes that you either like it or you don’t. They are known as The Vibram FiveFingers and claim to give the wearer more balance and better posture. The Vibram FiveFingers also stimulate the muscles in your feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion. TIME Magazine named Vibram FiveFingers as one of Best Inventions of 2007. They are the funniest looking shoes I have ever seen. Would I buy it? Hmm… if I am active in Light Trekking, Bouldering, Fitness Training, Running, Yoga, Pilates, Sailing, Boating, Kayaking, Canoeing, Surfing or Windsurfing, I probably would. These shoes are machine washable and air dry.

Protect Your Hands With Gloves In A Bottle

barbara

Being a home-maker and a mother, not to mention a neat freak, I am constantly cleaning around the house. All these washing have taken a toll on my hands. They are dry and chapped. The skin on my right fingers have started peeling too. I have used many different types of hand lotions but they just won’t work for me.

A few days ago, I received a bottle of “Gloves In A Bottle”. It is a shielding lotion that bonds with the outermost layer of skin cells to turn it into what works like an invisible pair of gloves. The Gloves In A Bottle restore the skin’s natural moisture and protects it from irritants. It helps to keep the outer layer of the skin to breathe and perspire naturally. I applied some onto my hands and immediately I could feel how soft it made my skin. What I like about Gloves In A Bottle is that there is no sticky feeling after rubbing the lotion onto my hands. This shielding lotion does not wash off like other conventional lotions. Instead, it comes off naturally with exfoliating skin cells.

Another thing which I really like about this lotion is that it is fragrance-free. Being someone with a nose that is sensitive to odour, some scents are really unbearable to me eventhough they are light. I am glad that Gloves In A Bottle does not make me sneeze at all. It is greaseless, hypoallergenic, completely safe and non-toxic. Many dermatologists recommend Gloves In A Bottle as an effective dry skin treatment.
