Just Eyewear Review & Giveaway

I was given the chance to review a pair of glasses from Just Eyewear. I had such a hard time choosing because they had so many beautiful, fashionable glasses that I loved. You can choose from flexible titanium, big plastic frames, progressive lens, transitions, and more.

These glasses are true to your prescription. All you have to do is call your current eye doctor and ask for these certain things to get glasses just like you would ordering straight from the eye doctor (BUT MUCH MUCH cheaper).

Just eyewear has glasses ranging from $19+, so no matter what you can afford- you can find a pair that fits what you need, with a price tag you can’t complain about! =p

When you choose which pair you want, they have options to ADD on to the glasses if you wish. I didn’t get any extra’s added on, I just got the stand anti-scratch coating with the plastic lenses.

They still felt better than most of the glasses that I got from the eye doctor (That was $100+). These glasses- I really liked.

They fit me absolutely perfectly. Most glasses are too large for my head and slip off my face when I bend my head down (these didn’t). They were just the right size.

I am loving the color I chose! Because they have a clear front- They go with any outfit that I wear. The sides are decorated, that way I did add some coloring to the glasses.

I’m not sure if you can see that clearly- the flash on my camera really blinded the coloring. But they are white with black mixed in.

They came VERY quickly after placing the order. They came in a glasses case to keep the glasses in when not in use (which I love). I can put the glasses in my purse and take them with me without getting scratched or broken. The glasses also came with a 10% discount off another pair of glasses, a small screwdriver to keep the glasses screws from getting lose, and a cleaning cloth!

I really like that they offer help if your new to ordering glasses online. For those of us that have always turned to our Eye Doctor for help ordering the right glasses, this is a huge help. If you need cheap glasses shipped to your door, Just Eyewear is perfect for you!

If you've never ordered glasses online before, you should start by checking out their  Guide to Buying Glassees Online to see what information you will need. You can also read their articles on How To Choose A Frame, How To Read Your Prescription, and How To Measure Your P.D.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

All the Ingredients to a Functional and Fun-Filled Craft Room!

 Having a craft room is one thing, but having a functional craft room where you can create and get things done is something else to consider. There are many factors that are a part of developing a space that you will love and that’s organized too. From finding a sturdy table to revamping a space that will look lovely too, it’s possible to structure a craft room and make it exactly how you want it.

Sturdy Work Table – If you don’t already have a sturdy work table, making cards, sewing, or creating mixed media is a lot easier to do on a sturdy table as opposed to one that’s about to collapse any second. Find a large and durable table that’s either made out of metal or wood and use this to work on every single day.

 Easy Storage Boxes – If you can’t afford to buy hat boxes, boxes from Target, or go to a store like the Container Store to buy functional storage containers, get practical and save boxes such as unused pizza boxes. Other boxes that you can use include shoes boxes and even boxes that you receive gifts in the mail from! Transform these boxes into practical storage containers and you can also make them pretty if you want to! A pizza box is the perfect size to store rubber stamps and other items that are the same size.

 Have a Sink Area Nearby – Having a sink area nearby is recommended, but not necessary. A sink will make cleanups a lot easy to handle and not to mention a sink is also very convenient. You won’t have to deal with carrying messy materials with you everywhere. If you’re not near a sink don’t fret, there are other alternatives such as using a container with a spout or filling a bucket up with water.

 Accessible Materials – Many crafters like to store their scissors, stamps, and other materials in drawers, but having select items out in front of you might be a better way to go. Try gluing magnetic strips to a wall and hang scissors and other tools there. You also could mount a peg-board and hooks and hang other supplies for easy access, as opposed to searching high and low for that one item you can never locate right away. These are just a few tips to get you started on creating a fabulous craft room that’s not only practical, but fun too! If you want to implement other glam furniture (besides just a table) for a pretty craft room, look for a sofa sale online and other sales that are going on. You can continue to add to your fun filled craft room and create a room that’s fabulous!

Sierra is a freelance writer and owner of Paige One. She loves to craft away and having a
functional space that’s glam and practical are top on her list.

Frugal Tips for Thrift Store Success

Kate Sorensen is a pioneer of the savings world and her effort can be found on her site.
Sorensen is always on the lookout to uncover all coupons and savings for consumers.

It’s fun to shop, and we all need to add new items to our closet on a regular basis. Maybe
you’ve got a new dress code, or you’ve lost weight, or you’re simply bored wearing
the same old things. While it can be necessary to buy new clothes, it can also be very
costly. One outfit can cost hundreds of dollars, and most people do not have that much to
spare. Money-saving sites can help you trim costs and you can save by using some smart
shopping strategies.

Consider the internet.
Yale University has given its students some tips on thrifty shopping, and while
they mention well-known thrift stores such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army,
they also point out that you might try Craigslist or Freecycle.
Often people will have clothes that they’ve never worn or that they simply have
no use for, and they don’t want to throw them away. You can get some very good
deals this way, and you can start the shopping process from your couch.

Borrow what you need.
Perhaps you’re going to an awards dinner or your daughter needs to go to the
prom. You may be able to find just the right thing at a thrift store or on sale
somewhere, but you might also just be able to borrow what you need.
You won’t have to store an outfit you may never need again, and you won’t have
to spend any money to look fabulous.
This is also a great strategy if you do a lot of socializing in the same circles—
you don’t want to always wear the same thing if you’re seeing the same people,
and this would allow you to switch outfits on a regular basis without an enormous
clothing budget.

Shop at thrift stores and consignment shops.
A lot of the items are in like-new condition, and you’ll have a lot more variety to
choose from then you would in a department store, because you won’t be limited
to the five items that every place seems to carry.
An article on "Saving Money during the Holidays" says that you can often find
designer clothing at these stores. Sometimes the staff do not know what they are
pricing, so you can get some incredible deals on some big-name brands.

Once you’re wearing the outfits you’ve purchased no one is going to know where you
bought them or how much you paid – unless you decide to spill the secret. Get ready to
look fabulous and perhaps you can treat yourself to a nice dinner somewhere with all the
money you’ve saved. You deserve it.

Kidzies Big Bagz Review & Giveaway

What mom, aunt, or grandmother doesn’t want to know about adorable kid’s items that are affordable, chic, and functional as well? On this website you can choose to view items within a certain price range, how awesome is that?
Most of these adorable items can be personalized with your child’s name on it. This means a lot to me, because where I chose to spell Adisyn differently, it is hard to find items that are personally for her. Never any bike tags, sippy cup holders, or bags for Adisyn unless I pay the company plenty extra to put it on there.
I chose the V’Room Bigger Bagz for Aidan and the Poppies Bigger Bagz for Adisyn.

I was amazed at how the quality was on these. They are VERY nice. My kids LOVED them. As soon as they came in the mail, they were all over them. Searching through the toy box looking for something to put inside them.
Aidan of course, chose a bunch of matchbox cars- that he immediately took outside to play outside in the dirt with. He lines them up and then puts them in demolition derbies. =) That’s my Aidan for ya.
Adisyn chose random items for hers. She put in these tiny little Care Bears that I bought for her last year. Then she put in some little toys and dolls. She loved the clip on it!

• 10.5″ x 6.5″
• Machine washable
• Made of neoprene and polyester
• Zipper closure
• Clip Included

The Bigger Bagz is machine washable. My kids are terror on their clothes and toys, so I almost jumped up and down when I learned that I could just throw it in the wash and be done with it.
They have a clip-on keyring attached to the side, so that they can be clipped onto backpacks or whatever. They also have 14 designs in these bags, so no matter what your children likes, they have a design that they’ll go crazy for.
Not only can these amazingly beautiful kids bags be for a child, they can also be for mom as well. If you have a baby, these bigger bagz are just the right size to carry diapers and a small wipes case. If your child grows out of it, it could be the right size for makeup and perfume.
They can be used for much more than that- carry electronics, toys, games, snacks, pacifiers, cards.. whatever you want. They can and will hold anything you stick inside them!
They have sell other items as well. They have these cute sippy cup huggerz. They keep your childs drink cool, while keeping their hands warm. Ingenious, huh?



About the inventive Mom who started it all under the About Us section on her website:
My 4 year-old, Jett, is my inspiration for Kidzies™. One day on an outside adventure, I found myself putting an insulator around my beverage, but nothing on his. "What sense does that make?" I wondered, and put one on his cup. It became a daily ritual. The one morning I forgot it, a tiny voice cried out, "Mama, I need my Kidzies."
I began ironing designs onto foam "Huggerz" (which was not pretty), but the ones which promoted factories and bars were soon replaced by trains and cars. After mixing a little bit of luck and a lot of prayer, kidzies™ were born and I am ecstatic to share a high-quality, professional, long-lasting product with you and your family.
His hands are warm, his drink is cool, there are fewer rings on my furniture, fewer spills & sweating cups on his good clothes, and I'm less concerned about his apple juice not going into the fridge between sips. Jett loves the Kidzies™ designs (he rigorously approves each final drawing) and I love everything else about it - the well-being and the cleanliness. Kidzies™ are a must have for the stylish kid & savvy mom.
Our journey has not ended with only one product! We decided that Kidzies™ has so much more to offer! We've expanded our line of original artwork onto 12 different product categories and have plans for many more in the future. As I encourage Jett to dream big, I do my best to lead by example.
Our goal isn't to make millions but to make everyday life for you a little happier and a little easier. We love what we do and we hope that it shows!

Ecover Sunny Day Laundry Detergent Review

As a mother of 2 small children, I needed a change in laundry detergent. The “commercial” products are filled with harmful chemicals that can seep into your skin through your clothing. So, I took www.naturallysavvy.com's offer to review Ecover Sunny Day Laundry Detergent
This laundry detergent is amazing! Most commercial brands claim to wash Large loads of laundry as well as MANY MANY loads. They come with HUGE cups attached to the tops, so we aren’t actually using it the way it’s stated. They WANT you to use more, so you have to buy MORE. Not with Ecover. They have a tiny little lid that keeps you from overusing.
I was hesitant that such a small bit of this liquid will clean my kids messy clothes. They are always playing in dirt or spilling food on themselves. When I pulled the very first load out, I took a look at them AND was surprised. It cleaned them BETTER than a commercial brand would. WITHOUT all the harmful chemicals. AMAZING! Right?
The laundry detergent bottle that I reviewed was a 51 ounce bottle. The liquid is 2.5x concentrated, so I am using less than commercial products and saving my children and myself from being harmed. I love this. The bottle is also made from 100% plantplastic. So- the bottle is also able for recycling. GREAT company!!
This bottle is easy to store, easy to hold, easy to open, and holds the right amount for about a month (OR MORE) of clothes washing. I WASHED loads and loads of laundry and still have some of this left. I am truly amazed.
Also- I love that my clothes come out of the wash smelling absolutely incredible. AND they aren’t even using chemically induced fragrances to get this smell. It DOES smell like a warm sunny day.
This keeps my colored clothes bright- no fading, no stains still on clothes. The ingredients are mineral and plant based, which no mom could ever pass up for the health of their children as well as our state of mind.
It MAY seem expensive when buying this- I am a deal buyer. I try and try to buy things that I have a coupon for or that is on sale. This laundry liquid can be bought on Amazon.com 9.80 a bottle. BUT this small bottle washes 50+ loads of laundry. When you divide it up- it is basically only $.19 per load.
This Ecover laundry detergent did work just as well or even better than Tide did. It’s septic tank safe, so I don’t have to worry about chemicals inside the tank. It’s better overall for my children health as well as Adam and I. I was very impressed with this.
Personal benefits:

• suitable for sensitive skin
• compatible with High Efficiency machines (HE)

• softens your laundry and reduces static cling

• makes ironing easier

• naturally cares for your skin

• fresh fragrance

Environmental benefits:

• made with plant based and mineral ingredients

The Ergonomic Pen: UGLeePen Review & Giveaway

I was sent a 3 pack of UGLee Pens to try out. This pen is unlike any other pen on the market. This pen was designed by a physician for comfort and precision. Doctors know FAR too well how writing too much will cramp up the hands. Dr. Lee created this pen to mold to the fingers, to prevent those cramps.
UGLee isn’t what you think. The name UGLee is created from UG means Ultimate Grip, and Lee is of course, from Dr. Lee the creator. ;)  The pen definitely LOOKS different than any other pen. Definitely an Ergonomic Pen
As a writer, OF COURSE I write all the time. I have tried many MANY pens on the market. All of them claiming to be comfort pens. Many of them claiming that there isn’t any breaks in the ink. Most pens never held up to their claims.

The gripper on this pen feels quite a lot like fishing lure rubber. The rubber doesn’t smell weird or anything, it’s just thin and moldy like a fishy lure. It molds in between my finger really well. No other gripper grasps quite like this one.
As much as the design looks cool and unique- it needs to write without bubbles, skips, or scratching in the ink. I hate when I’m writing something and the pen just won’t put out ink. It’s frustrating. This pen does skip SOME (but rarely), and not as much as regular pens do. I was happy with the way it wrote.

The pen is just about flawless! I couldn’t even begin to say enough great things about this pen. How it stands up VERY well to it’s claims, unlike the “others”.  I love how smoothly this flows over the paper, because of it’s medium point ball. I hate writing with fine tip pens, they scratch the paper and my handwriting ALWAYS looks messy when I write with a fine point pen.
My handwriting looks amazing with the UGLee pen. I love how firmly or loosely I can hold the pen. It adjusts to your grip. No matter which way you hold a pen when you write, or which hand you write with- This pen will never let you down.
This pen actually makes writing on paper feel like your writing on something softer. You don’t have to push down extremely hard to get it to write, and it fits so comfortably in my hand.
As a writer, I LOVE this pen. If I had 1 pen to use the rest of my life- it would definitely be this one. Although I wish it were cheaper $30 for 3 pens.. I guess I could live with that, because you can always buy replacement ink sticks for inside the pen at really reasonable prices.
Besides being a great pen for writers- this pen also helps benefit people who have arthritis and carpal tunnel. Did I also mention KIDS? Kids who are just learning to write could benefit greatly from this pen. They have a hard time learning how to hold the pen.. this pen practically holds itself to THEM. It’s lightweight and they will never have to struggle with getting the ink to come out..!
I am in PEN HEAVEN! and you can be as well..
BUY IT: You can order the UGlee Pen online at UGleepen.com,
WIN IT: or enter to win your very own three-pack by completing the Rafflecopter below!

Chella Hydrating Cleanser & Resurfacing Mask Reviews

 

Hydrating Cleanser- Lush Balm

 

Hello clean, farewell dryness. Made with olive oil, Chella Hydrating Cleanser fortifies the all-important lipid barrier to nurture and keep hydration in. Smooth on dry skin, add warm water and massage in for supple, baby-plush finish. With citrus kissed oil to wake up and clean up. Fresh. Newborn. Beautiful.

• Refreshed, clean skin
• Comforted, balanced complexion
• Olive oil gently and thoroughly removes eye makeup

This hydrating cleanser suppports skin's fragile, all important lipid barrier to nurture and keep hydration in while removing make-up, oils and skin impurities. Upon contact with warm water, this blissful balm cleanser transforms into a light, citrus kissed emulsion that is easily rinsed off. Leaves skin supple, clean and with a super plush finish.

DIRECTIONS:

Smooth onto dry skin, activate by applying warm water, rinse. Use with wash cloth for increased circulation and complete make-up removal. Follow with preferred Chella Tonic and Chella Hydrator.

MY THOUGHTS*

I am in love with this cleanser. I wake up every morning and put this on my face. Not only does it wake ME up, it wakes up my skin as well as my senses. Chella is the bomb when it comes to skin care. I have worked with them before, and they never disappoint. Every thing I’ve ever tried- I’ve loved and will definitely re-buy!

The packaging is VERY classy. The jar has a silver-lidded top, and the jar is clear glass. The glass lets you see through to the orange cleanser. You open the top on this cleanser and it’s immediate bliss. It smells like Orange Sorbet Ice Cream with a hint of mango :P YUM

You apply this to a dry face. It feels a little greasy, but it ISN’T. It’s the olive oil in the cleanser, which IS amazing at cleaning faces. I’ve never really used a face cleanser with olive oil in it, but it WORKS amazingly and FEELS amazing as well.

You put this on your dry skin.. I then take my fingernails and massage the cleanser in, especially on my nose pores and beneath my lips (my oiliest parts). Then I take warm water and work into the cleanser, it then lathers up. I massage it in EVEN MORE, and then rinse it off.

I have been using this almost a month now, and I can definitely tell that this has put out DEFINITE results. My face is extremely clean, my pores (which have always been large) shrunk and the dirt trapped inside disappeared. I have tried so many different products to help with my large pores and blackheads, yet only certain things worked and not for long.

This has put a HUGE difference in my skin care regimen! I am in love with this cleanser. I’m not sure how I lived without it. Now I can go without makeup and not have to stare at my large nose pores! I am ecstatic.

 

BUY IT: You can buy this for $50- on the website.

 

Resurfacing Mask

Hello baby face. Fresh, soft, plump and where did all those lines seem to go? Make a date with this mini-peel, providing just enough resurfacing power to visibly even tone and smooth skin without leaving you red-faced. Beneficial ingredients go to the source to restore the moisture and radiance you've been missing. Apply evenly, carefully avoiding the eye area, for fifteen minutes and rinse. Just Beautiful.

Make a weekly date with this mini peel providing just enough resurfacing power to visibly even out skin tone and smooth texture without leaving you red faced. Lactic acid and protease enzymes encourage cell turnover while Pro Vitamin B-5 restores moisture and elasticity.

Clear Skin: Natural Enzymes go to work to dissolve dead skin build up and reduce blackhead formation.

Refined Polished Texture: Lactic Acid increases cell turnover and reveals a new luminous smooth complexion.

Hydrated, Healthy Glow: Consistent use of the Chella Resurfacing Mask will assist in long term pore miniaturization and deep hydration.

MY THOUGHTS*

My skin needs renewed  and calmed down from time to time. This is very rejuvenating and refreshing. It is a thick and creamy white mask that smells amazing.

This mask is extremely exfoliating to the skin because of the Enzymes and Alpha-Hydroxy Acids it contains. This is used weekly and also can be used daily on zits and blemishes. This “peel” works to exfoliate the dead skin that naturally builds up. This dissolves the dead skin and makes skin refreshed and glowing.

This is also great for blackheads and breakouts. It works to eliminate the blackheads and breakouts at the source. Most peels are harmful to the skin causing it to become irritated and red. This helps to eliminate irritation with ingredients; licorice, ginger, and butcher’s broom.

It feels soft and silky on my face. There’s no burning, redness, and absolutely no irritation. It feels like using a regular cleanser, you just leave it on for 15 minutes instead of washing it off right away.

This has all natural exfoliators in it though, so it doesn’t irritate the skin and break you out even more (especially sensitive skin). This contains sugar cane (AHAs), malic Acid (from apples), and sour milk which makes lactic acid. All these products are gentle on the skin but help create a smooth beautiful complexion.

I love the way this smells. It goes on smoothly, and after I’m done with the 10 minutes- My face feels moisturized, hydrated, and SMOOTH. No blemishes at all anywhere. No redness, irritation, or blackheads.

Wedding Decorations on the Cheap!

A Wedding is in my future, whether how near or far- I’m not exactly sure. I have been with Adam for almost 8 years, and we have 2 gorgeous kids together, but a wedding has been put off.
We’ve just remained engaged this entire time and focus on the kids until we could buy a house. After buying the house, comes the wedding. He made foreman at his job last year, so it’s getting closer…
Looking at all the wedding decorations there are out there is just overwhelming at times. There are so many beautiful choices that it makes it hard to choose..

I am thinking about having Ostrich feathers as the centerpieces though. They are absolutely stunning. It looks so sophisticated, classy, and stunning. I knew that I wanted something unique. There aren’t many people who have chosen to do Ostrich feathers as centerpieces.


When you purchase the centerpieces at Events Wholesale, you get everything included in the picture. You don’t just get the feathers, you get EVERYTHING.

• 24" Glass Trumpet Vase
• Beautiful 18-22" ostrich wing plumes (approximately 20 per centerpiece)
• Foam bouquet holder (to hold feathers in place)
• Gel water bead pearls
• Customize by choosing your own colors
• Our kits have been featured in Get Married and Event Solutions magazines

Have you seen Wedding Sparklers before? I hadn’t until searching through their website. They are so beautiful. Unlike the regular Fourth of July sparklers, these are heart shaped. So when they are lit, all you see is brightly lit hearts. Romantic and Such a great idea!

I am also thinking of Round tables, that way if more people come than have seating for, they could just pull up extra chairs. They have huge choices in Round Table Cloths. They have a huge range- from 72” to 132” round table cloths! They offer MANY different colors. This way, I could coordinate the colors with the wedding. How awesome is that?




What do you think? I really like the idea. I am still gathering more ideas for food, and custom colors. AND the dress.

Pureology Essential Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Review

ESSENTIAL REPAIR- THE SHAMPOO

This shampoo is amazing. It is very strengthening and replenishing to weak and damaged hair. It contains Soy derived proteins to help with split ends, The frizzies, and damaged hair.

Although my hair isn’t broken, it is damaged. I blow-dry and flat iron almost daily and curl about once a week. I am getting split ends, so I needed something that would help me with this. I could just get the split ends cut off, but I wanted to put some repairing products to the test!

I love that this shampoo adds moisture without weighing down my hair. This is amazing for dyed or permed hair. It is a sulfate free shampoo, so it doesn’t bubble up like normal shampoo’s do (which is a good thing). The more a shampoo bubbles up, the more natural vitamins and moistures it can strip.

This shampoo is designed to give you the extra vitamins, moisture, and damage repair that you need. It doesn’t strip color, so if you color your hair AND your hair is damaged: you are in luck!

This fortifies your hair, makes it soft but not too soft, very manageable, and extremely healthy. People worry about putting too many proteins in the hair (which can cause breakage and damage) but because these proteins are from SOY- it will HELP your hair and is safe to use daily.

Although I only received a small bottle of this, I felt that it lasted longer than any other “sample” shampoo’s would. I washed my hair (which is LONG) everyday for about 2 weeks with just a small bottle. Think about that. If I had gotten a bigger bottle, I think I could have made it last for 3-4 months. It only took about a nickel size amount to wash my entire hair. Which is saying quite a lot.

With most other shampoo’s I have to use a half dollar size amount to even come close to covering my entire hair. This Pureology shampoo is concentrated though. It has more bang for the buck!!

Repairing products are fit for broken and damaged hair shafts. It fills in the weakened spots with what they need to be healthy and beautiful. If your hair isn’t damaged or broken, I would suggest looking into another line of shampoo and conditioners that Pureology sells. If you use a repairing shampoo that has protein in it, without having anything to repair- it can have a reverse effect on your hair and make it brittle (after a long period of time).

It smells like a tropical smell (which I love). I thought of tanning lotion  and the beach every time I opened the bottle… MMM Who wouldn’t want to laze around on a beach just thinking of nothing to do all day? ME

I love this shampoo. If you have damaged, broken hair- this shampoo would definitely help to give your hair the nutrients, hydration, and protein that it’s lacking. Split ends and broken hair are turned into shiny, frizz free, naturally beautiful hair.

 

ESSENTIAL REPAIR-THE CONDITIONER

Infused with natural botanicals, herbs, biotin, and soy proteins; this conditioner soaks into the hair to give it the healthiness it’s craving. It provides both moisture AND strength without making hair oily or greasy OR weighing it down.

It works very well when used with the shampoo. I usually leave shampoo in for about 1-2 minutes and conditioner for about 3-4 minutes before rinsing. This way my hair can soak up the goodies in the products.

Most moisturizing products make my hair oily. It’s naturally OILY, but moisturizing products mixed in with the natural oiliness usually has me washing my hair daily.

I really liked that I could have skipped days if I wished. My hair never once looked greasy, oily, or weighed down on the second day. Which is a huge plus for my long hair.

I really enjoyed using both of these products. It smells like summer time, feels amazing, isn’t hard to wash out, and helped the split ends. Who could complain? Not this girl.

I have worked with Pureology before and AM totally amazed with their products. I used the Volume Mousse and Anti-split blow dry before- and still won’t blow-dry my hair without them. Adds volume, protection, and helps keep hair from becoming damaged.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone having hair dilemma’s.!

Street Moda: Reebok Realflex Review

Reebok Realflex Women's Running Shoes Training Lightweight

I love companies that start out small and work their way up the ladder. Street Moda definitely fits in this category. The founder Matt Kubancik started his dream inside his parents basement. At age 10, he started with baseball cards on ebay.
As he got older, he noticed that designer street apparel and shoes were increasing in popularity AND in cost. He wanted all the new designer clothes, but couldn’t keep up with the costs. Born humbly, he wanted to make designer clothes affordable to those who couldn’t afford it.

“Today, Street Moda continues to be awarded and nominated for a plethora of achievements, including being named in the 2011 Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. Street Moda caters to customers all over the world. This includes International sales to over 45 different countries, shipping to nearly every country on the map.”


Street Moda features a variety of life style brands including Adidas, Affliction, Betsey Johnson, Ed Hardy, Jessica Simpson, Juicy Couture, Michael Kors, Naughty Monkey and Sean Jean, Reebok to name a few. The main thing that separates Street Moda from all other online companies is the massive inventory of authentic brand name footwear, apparel and accessories at prices that can't be beat on the street.

I received a pair of Realflex by Reebok. These shoes are absolutely amazing. They have so many different color choices in these shoes.. I tried to get the Sushi Green ones, because you KNOW how much I adore the Lime Green. Unfortunately they were out of stock in my size, so I chose the black ones.

I’m really glad I chose the black ones, because they look so AMAZING with anything that I wear. No matter if it’s jeans, dress pants, shorts, or capri’s. And they came in sizes 6.5-11!

They are SO easy to keep clean. All I have to do is wipe them with a wet washcloth and they come clean. I try to do this every couple of days. If you clean your shoes well, and keep up with maintenance they will last a lot longer than if you just wear them and tear them!
These shoes are SO comfy. As soon as I put them on, I didn’t even feel like I even had shoes on. They were molded to my feet. They are so lightweight that it’s easy to run, jog, or chase kids all over the yard. They fit like a dream. Out of all the shoes I’ve ever worn, this is the best pair of comfortable running shoes I’ve ever had.

I have been wearing these shoes non-stop for a few weeks now. I am absolutely thrilled with these shoes. They are amazing and they are so  comfortable. I’ve had MANY MANY people comment on the shoes. Asking where I got them, and telling me “Awesome Shoes”.

Introducing RealFlex by Reebok, an new flexible and lightweight shoe that is made with 76 independent sensors on the sole that help promote natural movement of the feet. These sensors are strategically positioned to flex and move as you run and throughout your stride while offering protection under your feet as you train. Also feature synthetic light mesh upper. This shoe is perfect for any stage runner. Style: REAL FLEX RUN


I love that Street Moda offers discounted name brand shoes and apparel. Who wants to pay full price if they don’t have to? I am in love with this shop. It’s so hard to turn away. They have EVERYTHING!
There are many ways that you can search.

They have Men and Women’s clothing and shoes. So you can choose to search by women or men styles or go straight for different brands.When you click on the Women/Men, it brings up the different categories that are available. They have (in Women’s) Shoes, Tops, Bottoms, Accessories, Dresses, and clearance.


They have so many different types of shoes to choose from as well. If you click WOMEN –> Shoes, it brings up Athletic, Boots, Casual, Comfort, Dress, Rain Boots, Sandals, Slip Ons, and Western Boots.




At any other online store, they basically only offer certain types of shoes. They don’t offer as many choices as Street Moda does. You can’t beat the prices either. The Realflex Reebok were $90 retail but only $79.99 on Street Moda. So, you can buy these $10 cheaper than anywhere else on the market.


I am loving these jeans. Both pair look awesome. The first and second pair look amazing with high heels, but they would also look amazing with boots, flip flops, sandals, or sneakers.

Look at the Affliction Tshirt & Jacket. They have tons of affliction clothing. They are all VERY well made and look so classy and stunning. I would definitely love to wear these.
This is basically a one-stop shop for everything. They even sell socks and sunglasses. I LOVE this shop, and you will also.
