Spare your Soles with Spare Soles
2008-02-01 23:52:00
I've found what I think is quite possibly one of Swankiest items I've ever reviewed. We've all been there before, you're getting ready, it's time for shoes and you're thinking, "I know my feet are going to kill me by the end of the night, but these shoes look perfect with this outfit!" Well, what if you knew ahead of time that once your feet were done, that you had the perfect compact solution to soothe those aching soles? Look no further, with SpareSoles, you can stash a super cute pair of ballerina flats into even the tiniest handbag, or ditch the handbag altogether, and just use the SpareSoles bag, an adorable zippered pouch (it's plenty big for your plastic, cash, and even a lip gloss). SpareSoles have a waterproof sole, and they're machine washable. They come in 3 different sizes (if you're a half size, order up) and two different colors, black and silver. Whether you're dancing the night away, or Casino hopping in Vegas (Where were these before I had children!?!), no...

Swanky Stocking Stuffer Alert: Sipahh Milk Flavoring Straws
2007-12-21 08:17:00
Want to add a super unique, supper yummy item to the stockings this year? Tell Santa about Sipahh Milk Flavoring Straws! This great little item comes in 4 tasty flavors: chocolate, strawberry, banana, & cookies and cream. The concept is simple yet genius, a plastic straw filled with flavor beads. The beads dissolve as you suck the milk through the straw. I happen to be lucky and my boys love milk, but if your little ones are reluctant to drinking milk, this is a great inspiring treat! You can pick them up at most grocery stores, but if you haven't seen them around, use the store locator to find some Sipahh Straws near you. If you don't have a local retailer, you can purchase them online here. My boys flipped for these and your kids will love them too! My personal favorite, use a chocolate and a banana Sipahh at the same time, YUM!!!!!www.SwankyMoms.BlogSpot.com ~ keep you up to date with what's hip!
