So-Mine Slapwear Watches and Pocket Change

July 20, 2011 By Karen

Slapwear watches from so-mine

When I saw these cutie cute items, I just knew my 12 year old granddaughter, Sarah, would love them! They are so cute, and very “girlie”. The good folks over at so-mine sent me some samples to review.

Slapwear watches come in a variety of colors

The slap watches remind me of the “slap bracelets” my daughters had when they were teens in the 80′s. The watch bands, when not being worn, lay flat on whatever surface they are on. But when you pick them up and slap them over your wrist, they conform to whatever size wrist you have. The hold tightly without cutting into your wrist, and fit most anyone. Since my granddaughter lives in Tennessee, and I live in Arizona, I tried them on myself.

Slapwear watches fit most everyone

My wrist is bigger than Sarah’s, and the watches were not too tight on me. Another plus is that because the inner wires that slap the bracelet around your wrist stay curled around your wrist, it is not very likely that Sarah will lose one of these watches unless she takes it off and doesn’t remember to take it with her.

You can change out the watch faces with the bands to create different looks!

You can take the watch faces out easily so that you can change out the color combinations whenever you want. If you have several of them, you can come up with lots of different looks!

Have a new look every day!

Slapwear watches come in black, white, hot pink, green, purple, yellow, blue, pink, and red. They retail for $19.95 and can be purchased online at Slapwear and on Amazon.com.

So-mine also sent me these cute pocket decorations, called Pocket Change. The describe them as “Glits & Glam for your pockets”. They are definitely cute:

Pocket Change are decorations for your pockets

Again, since Sarah is so far away, Fabgrandpa agreed to model them for me:

Pocket Change adds glitz to your pockets!

They were so very easy to attach to his pockets: They have a plastic clip on the back that just slips over the pocket. They hold tightly and add a little glam to the back pockts of your jeans:

Pocket Change comes in several designs, including the Girls Rule ones shown, and these cute ones:

Peace, Love and Sunshine

Pocket Change is available online at the Pocket Change Store for $9.99.

Jambu Shoes: Himalaya All Terra

May 23, 2011 By Karen

I received a pair of these shoes to review, and I have to say, they are really comfortable, well made shoes. They feel like they were made for MY feet.

My new kicks

All of Jambu’s All Terra styles have a partially recycled rubber outsole for superior grip, and memory foam insoles to provide maximum comfort. I know my feet feet like they were walking on clouds all day long when I wear them.

Himalaya by Jambu has a feminine look without being too "girlie"

Jambu shoes are designed by women for women, so while they are sporty and athletic looking, they also have feminine touches, like that floral heel you see on these Himalya’s.

The Himalaya has a very comfortable memory foam insole

Jambu shoe collections include sytles like Sporty Wedges, Metro, All Terra, Bare Feet, and All Vegan. They also have Children’s shoes. All their shoes come in 100% recycled and recyclable and re-usable packaging.

The Himalaya details

The Himalay’s shown in these pictures have a suggested retail price of about $99. To find stores in your area, check out the Where To Buy page on Jambu’s website. You can buy them at PlanetShoes.com
