Mom Find: Get Sexy Legs with Earth Sandals
Category:
Fitness Mom Fashion Shoes
What: Earth Elara Sandals
Why: Around this time last year we did a
Trend Alert on fitness shoes that tone your legs with each step you take—think
MBTs
and
FitFlops
—and the trend is still going strong. It’s no surprise; who doesn’t want sexy legs?
Here’s another shoe to add to your arsenal of fitness shoes, and it’s not as obvious as the other two. The
Earth Elara Sandal looks like an ordinary leather sandal, but it’s anything but. Using a negative heel technology that places your toes higher than your heel, it forces you to push a little harder to step forward, giving your calves a good workout and making you burn more calories. Another benefit is that you stand a little taller and straighter. You’ll feel good wearing them right out of the box. Imagine all this, and no one would even know. You can sneak in a workout even when you’re dressed in a cute summer dress.
Choose from red, brown, black and white.

Top Five Ways to Look Like A Beach Goddess Now
Category:
Mom Bath and Body Beauty
You’re counting down to your summer vacation and that precious pool or beach time. But why wait to unleash your inner Sun Goddess when you can get a beach-worthy body and sun-kissed look now. Here’s how:
First, get your body in shape for that new bathing suit you bought. The French skincare company Institut Esthederm recently introduced Bio-Svelt Body Shaping Cream ($82), a peptide-rich cream designed to break up the fatty tissues responsible for summer skin’s enemy - cellulite. I’ve been using just a little bit every night for a week and am actually beginning to see things firm up a bit in my problem areas. Check out the whole Bio Balance line to find the best product for your own trouble zones.
I confess that when my natural tan fades I go straight for the bronzer, but I found something better. Xen-Tan
($16) gives a subtle, gradual color with the extra benefit of vitamin E and antioxidants. You won’t get too dark and you really can’t mess it up. Plus, it doesn’t smell like tanner. There’s no SPF, so make sure you also use a sunblock too.
While you’re waiting to get that perfect leg tan, fake it with Invisible Stockings by Judith August
($30). It may be more expensive than other tanners, but you mix it with lotion so it lasts longer, and you control exactly how much tint to use. It goes on very silky and has aloe and jojoba oil. You can also use it on your arms and shoulders, and everyone will think you’ve been sneaking out for some sun.
Nothing looks prettier with bronze skin and a summer dress than a French manicure, but who has the time to do it, let alone keep it up. The new and very natural looking Nude French nails ($4.99) from Broadway were much easier than I imagined to apply and held up better than I thought and they really look natural. You get 24 nails in every size you need and can choose natural peach or pink.
Finally, finish your bronze and beachy look with the perfect lip gloss and blush. Cosmic Face Flush in AstroRose ($28) is a light-for-summer powder blush with natural pigments in the perfect rose tint for just about any skin tone, while LipDDiction in AstroSheen ($22) is a beachy golden rose color with just a touch of glimmer. I’m using it every day, rain or shine.
