Sandals for Winter?

You may have thought that only folks lucky enough to reside near the coasts or in the deep south could wear sandals all throughout the year. Sandals are actually ideal for padding around your home in the coldest months and keeping your bare feet off the cold wooden floors or tile in the bathroom or kitchen areas.

A great pair of men's sandals are made by the Reef company and it is their Chewy design that is proving very popular as a lounging sandal of choice among men everywhere.

The Chewy sandal is a little different as it incorporates several different elements that result in a very comfortably fitting sandal that will also act to keep the feet warm with the quilted microfiber slide upper with a soft shearling lining and that's just across the top of your favorite guy's foot. The foot bed where the sole of his foot will rest is also designed with a microfiber wrapped EVA with a soft shearling foot bed. For good traction the sole of these sandals are made with a diamond tread reef rubber traction outsole that will result in a good footing and no slippage when he walks.

These are ideal for a guy that can't stand the restrictive feeling of traditional house slippers but wants to keep his feet off the floor. Surprise your favorite fellow with a pair of comfy sandals to keep his feet comfortable all winter long.

Be Daring this Winter

Are you bored with the same old color choices for winter handbags? Boring old Winter White or Basic Black and let's not forget Not-So-Tempting Taupe that will make your outfit practically snooze.

If you want to add a pizzaz to your wardrobe, show off your bright and shiny personality with a boldly colored handbag in red and other bright colors. With the holidays coming up it will do a double duty of being both stylish and holiday festive.

The old hardcut fashion rule of "your shoes must match your handbag" has long been thrown out the proverbial window. You should pull your colors together for an overall good flow of colors and styles but you don't have to steadfastly only use a handbag that matches only your shoes and belt. Instead use a brightly colored handbag with a festive sweater with a holiday motif, a black skirt with red embellishments or a black pair of leather pants with a bright top will look dazzling when paired with a boldly colored handbag.

Pair up a Roxy Lolita Hobo hangbag as the purse of choice for the upcoming winter and holiday season. This bag is bright and very functional and is large enough to hold everything you need without looking "stuffed".

For a more festive touch, add a rhinestone brooch in the middle of your handbag and keep the glittery holiday spirit all the way down to your handbag!

Don't Wait to Make that New Year's Resolution

You can breath a sigh of relief now that colder weather is coming, it's easier to hide those extra pounds under coats and sweaters than in the clingy, sheer summer styles. You had good intentions, you really did; and you wanted to lose those extra pounds you packed on due to your break up with your boyfriend, the promotion you didn't get or just love of fast food and dislike of exercise.

You steadfastly made a resolution to work out every day and you went at it with gusto and then every day become every other day and then your work out fell to being about three times a week then once a week and then it was a completely past tense scenario "I used to work out".

You didn't gain that extra weight all at once so you won't knock it off either, especially if you're a little older and your metabolism isn't as speedy as it once was. However, get the okay from your doctor and hit the gym. Don't overwhelm yourself. Make a schedule you know you can stick with. Three days a week is sufficient for most people and make it easy on yourself by keeping your work out gear in your car. No excuses ever.

Use a small bag like a Puma bag and fit your shoes, clothing and other necessities you need (no, the Snickers Bar isn't part of your work out gear). Really make an effort to stick to your schedule. Do ten minutes of warm up stretching and then work out steadily for 15 minutes and then do 10 minutes of cooling down. As your stamina increases, increase the times of your work out.

You will see gradual positive changes in your body and if you want to really jump start the process, forget fast food exists and if bring your lunch and eat dinner at home you can really watch your portion sizes and hidden fats and sugars. Use these tips to get yourself going and you'll be sporting a hot new body when summertime rolls around next year!
