"Oh the weather outside is frightful"....

Oh baby it's getting cold outside, but there are so many fun activities that you can do with the family even when the weather isn't as warm as it was during the summer!

Now that the leaves are changing and the weather is a bit colder, no one wants to get outside. But the benefits of outdoor play even when it's chilly out are amazing.

Getting out of the house on a daily basis to do fun activities benefits your mind and your body! I have some great ideas that are free and can be fun, educational and gives you the opportunity to spend time as a family!

1. Get outside and take a walk

Not only is walking healthy for you but it gets you outside to see the beauty surrounding you. Look for different colors and types of leaves, watch the sunset and just enjoy the fresh crisp air.
Meet the neighbors and ask them what kinds of things they may like to do.







2. Get outside, rake some leaves (or in our case using the leaf blower)  and dog-pile on top of them! Not only is this great exercise but you definitely get a lot of laughs too! Oh yea..and it gets the family out doing some yard work but shhhh...we don't want them to know we actually put them to work :)


3. If you are lucky enough to already have snow on the ground where you live, you can always have an old fashion snowball fight or build an awesome snowman together!


Getting outside and staying active is great for maintaining a healthy life. It gets the kids off the devices and you get quality time together as a family. Making memories that will last a lifetime. So get off the couch, grab your jacket, head out the door and see what you can discover!

Company Background

Always an innovator and leader in footwear, Lugz first made a name for itself in October of 1993, bringing its first line of boots to market, with the initial product consisting of two styles of boots, a quilted vest and a pair of jeans.

Soon Lugz was endorsed by key players from the world of hip hop and has continued to do so through out the years. One such collaboration led Lugz to breathe life to a whole new category of footwear with the introduction of the first ever celebrity-endorsed “Funk Master Flex” urban driving shoe. This was only the beginning as support then lead to a collaborative line with hip-hop superstar Bryan “Baby” Williams, aka “Birdman” with his own series of sneakers and boots.

In 2006 Orange County Choppers, the world’s premier builders of custom motorcycles signed on to endorse Lugz shoes, which they were already wearing so it was a natural fit. With its aggressive “built for the streets” reputation Lugz collaborated with Paul Teutul, Jr. to create a signature Lugz shoe “the Torx” which interpreted this incredibly well.

In the fall of 2008 Lugz shot on to the Mixed Martial Arts scene signing its first two MMA fighters, Lyoto Machida and Houston Alexander as endorsers. Machida captured the title of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion as he represented Lugz. With MMA becoming the fastest growing sport/entertainment platform with an increasingly growing fan base, Lugz was excited to be apart of this growing trend and later signed Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. In 2010 Cain Velasquez became the newest endorser of Lugz.; immediately after signing, Cain fought to become UFC World Heavyweight Champion. In 2011, Lugz continued to grow its Team – signing UFC Welterweight Josh Koscheck and UFC Light Heavyweight Phil Davis.

From its inception, Lugz footwear has been an innovator in the footwear market from its signature styles, to creating trendsetting styles beyond boots and has added casual shoes and athletics to the mix for the Lugz men, Lugz women and Lugz kids lines.

The Sleep Styler

Who has ever suffered from a bad hair day? I know on many occasions my hair just will NOT do what I tell it to. I'm left with dull, fly-away hair that looks terrible. But there is a solution!

Hello gorgeous! The Sleep Styler. It's a yoga towel fabric and memory foam roller that dries and styles hair while you sleep. To use, take a relaxing bath or shower at night. Towel and air dry hair until damp but not wet, then section hair and wrap around the soft, absorbent rollers. The rollers can create many different styles - beachy waves, straight and sleek, or a combination straight-to-a-curl look. The average woman spends an hour a day on her hair, but The Sleep Styler takes just 5 minutes! The product retails for $39, so for the cost of one salon blowout our clients can have healthy, styled hair for years.







Now I recently cut my hair and it was, unfortunately not long enough to use the Curlers. So my husband, bless his cotton-picken heart :) let me borrow his hair for this. He is such a trooper and loves me so much that he willingly volunteered to be my guinea pig. Isn't he just amazing!

We washed his hair and towel dried and commenced to placing the rollers in his hair. The rollers are very soft and easy to put into the hair. Just twist your hair around the curler and place the Velcro strap opposite of the way you placed the hair. Leave in over night while the Sleep Styler Curlers do all the work for you.







Isn't he handsome!


The end result was pretty fantastic. The curls bounced and looked natural. The Sleep Styler Rollers gave the hair more volume and a style that lasts all day long.


So if you are looking for something that is easy to use, saves time and leaves your hair looking like you just spent hours on it, then the Sleep Styler is perfect for you! If you wish to have curly ends, place the curlers lower on the hair ends. If you want full, all over curl, place them higher on the scalp. No matter what look you are going for, the Sleep Styler has you covered!
