StylishFitnessClothes.com, Active and Fitness Apparel Review & Giveaway!!!

Established in January 2012, Stylish Fitness focuses on offering activewear by quality designers for women and men who enjoy a broad range of workout activities, including bicycling, running, tennis and yoga. Comfort and good looks are hallmarks of their workout wear, including many choices for exercise during pregnancy. Materials include breathable blends of natural fibers and synthetics — such as Lycra, polyester, Spandex and Supplex — as well as pure cottons.

Ashley Osterman is the founder of Stylish Fitness and someone who loves working out in style. She truly believes in the power of fashionable fitness clothing to motivate a life on the move.  Ashley’s passion for fitness began in childhood when she played basketball, tennis and ran track. Now, she is passionate about dressing well for cycling, hiking, running and pilates that keep her happy and healthy. Ashley’s days are busy so she has discovered a new way to dress for success. Comfortable, attractive workout clothing accommodates her lifestyle, encouraging her to exercise and making her journeys around town after a workout possible without changing clothes. Whether you need to go from the gym to the grocery store or from the running track to a favorite restaurant, the right fitness fashions make it easier to do.

I was recently sent a couple of pieces of Alo apparel for review from Stylish Fitness Clothes.  I try to stay active, and it is pretty easy given the busy life I have.  Comfort is so important in activewear and really helps to keep you focused on your activity.  I was sent the Track Capri Legging with a contrast fusion waistband and a short sleeve, v-neck tee in the surf color.  Both pieces are well made and very comfortable.  They are great when exercising or just wearing when you are doing a bit of running around.   Th leggings feature an inside gusset for ease of movement and are made of a heavy weight nylon spandex material.  The Updated V-Neck, Short Sleeve Tee features seaming and shiny stitch details.  Made of 68% Lyocell from Bamboo, 27% Cotton and 5% Spandex Jersey, this tee is super soft and comfortable.

My little ones love puppets, so when I was asked by Cate & Levi to review one of their new People Puppets, I was thrilled.  I chose the fireman and he arrived quickly.  He is a hand-made, one of a kind 12″ puppet made of sustainable, reclaimed wool.  Cate & Levi gets their reclaimed wool from discarded sweaters that would have been filling a landfill if not used. All their toys are made in Canada.  It just took me putting it on my hand to make giggles galore arise from my kids.  Soon they wanted a turn making the fireman talk, dance and sing.  Puppets are such a creative way for kids to express themselves and Cate & Levi have such a great selection of animal puppets as well.  If you are looking for some great quality puppets that your kids will just have a ball with, check out Cate & Levi.  The People Puppet Collection includes a fireman, pirate, nurse and a princess.  You can feel great about purchasing these eco-friendly puppets for your child.

Joya Shoes Review and Giveaway!!! 3 Winners!!!

Joya moves you
The young Swiss shoe developer Karl Mueller Jr., whose father, Karl Mueller Sr., invented the MBT and sold the company in 2006, has created a new revolutionary shoe called Joya, representing a new category of comfort footwear. Joya shoes make walking joyful, fun and effortless, they move you — both physically and emotionally.

Experience effortless walking
Joya uses futuristic internationally patented Sole Technology that delivers a sensation while walking that has really never before been encountered. You are given the emotional experience of walking effortlessly on a concrete planet. It’s not about sculpting and toning a chiseled physique. It’s not about being the “cure-all” shoe for orthopedic pain. It’s simply about making walking a joyful and effortless experience.

I recently had the opportunity to review a pair of Joya Shoes.  I chose the comfort black and while I knew that Joya was known to be ultra comfortable, I was not prepared for the experience of putting them on.  I was really taken off guard because it is unlike anything I have ever experienced.  It was like walking on a cloud, I know it sounds like a cliché but I was really walking on air.  It was effortless and I truly had the feeling of just floating.  They were so comfortable and would definitely be great shoes for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet.  They are quality made and have lots of great features like full grain leather, breathable mesh, Ortholite insole, antibacterial cool midsole and natural rubber outsole.  If you are looking for quality, comfortable shoes, you should take a look at Joya Shoes.
