Mom likes it!

Lipton Publicity sent me this adorable pink Scala Callozione Sun Hat to review.  This hat offers 50 plus UPF sun protection, which is just what I need.  I often joke that I don’t tan, I just burn, peel and then freckle.

Another great feature of this hat is the fact that it is pretty much indestructible .  You can sit on it, roll it into a ball, toss it into your suit case and it will still spring right back to its shape.  To see if this really was the case, I let my girls playwith it for a few days.  It got worn everywhere, sat on…. yet it still held its shape.  Anything  kid proof  gets an A+ from me You can wear the brim up or down., but it is super cute either way!

You can pick from 4 different colors, and you can find them listed here for $30.00 each.

A Thrifty Mom was not paid, or compensated for this review.  All opnions are my own,  but I was able to keep this cute sun hat

Kushyfoot sent me a few of their product to try.  I will be honest they sat on my desk un-opened for a few weeks.  Till one day I was busy attending  meeting and events all day… I had been wearing heals all day and my feet were killing me.  That is when I remembered about the fun little package Kushyfoot sent me.  Inside was a fabulous little pair of socks called Foot Covers (super ultra low cut so they hide inside your shoe).  So I thought it was worth a try…. they fit great and have little cushion pads on the heel and  down near your toes.  So stinkin comfortable…… I thought why didn’t I think to put cushion pads on my socks years ago.

I still had a few hours left in my heel before I could take them off.  But my new socks were making the last few hours a much more pleasant experience.  They also have these cute little shoes called Flats on the Go.  They come in small package, and fold in half  making them easy to just toss in your purse.  I taught my next class and as I was cleaning up after being in my heels all day, all I wanted to do was kick my shoes off an run around bare foot.  But since I was at a fancy hotel and not on farm, I did not think a bare foot “A Thrifty Mom”  was  a good idea.

BUT then I remembered I had put the Flats on the Go in my bag….. so I put them on.  First off , they got an A+ from me just because they got me out of my heels .  But as I wore them around I actually really liked them.  They fit good, were super comfortable…. it was like being bare foot but instead I had these cute little stylish flat on.  Flexable, yet they hug your foot and stay on really well.

I liked them so well, I wore then around the house the next day as well.  The fact that they are so flexible makes them comfortable, but  not the best support for your feet.  So I would not suggest running in them or making them your 24 hour shoes.  But I love mine and think whey are one of the best ideas I have seen in a long time.

Thanks again KushyFoot for sending me your product samples, love your product!
