The star is spotted in Hannen boots

We don’t know much about football, but we do know that the games are a lot more interesting when they involve Tom Brady. Not only is Gisele’s hubby athletically gifted (and genetically blessed!), but he’s got killer off-the-field style. Case and point this photo of Brady, wearing UGG “Hannen” boots in the cordovan colorway while out and about in Boston with his family.

We’ve been trying to get the hubbies to cozy up in a pair of UGGs for years now, but until we had this photograph in tow (you know…to prove that UGGs can be “man-ly”), we got little in the way of excitement.

From the Fall/Winter 2011 collection, the Hannen boot is a rugged lace-up hiking boot with an upper made of waterproofed/oiled full-grain leather, a Vibram lug outsole sole for durability as well as signature UGG sheekskin lining , which provides breathability and moisture-wicking benefits – and thank god because we’ve already got one child sick and the last thing we need is all [...]

Melting coconut water with coffee

Coconut water + coffee = sheer brilliance.

Who would have ever thought of combining two of our favorite beverages? Turns out a yogi/surfer who needed an extra AM boost to make it through his morning yoga practice did – and we’re quite grateful! The delectable beverage combines all of the health benefits of coconut water (think potassium, electrolytes, and antioxidants aplenty), with the stimulating effects of coffee for a perfectly balanced morning pick-me-up.

Made with low fat milk and fair trade organic espresso it’s mild in calories and works double duty to satisfy a mid-afternoon latte craving.

We’ll never down a Diet Coke or Starbucks Frappuccino again – no [...]

Drink the healthiest meal of the day

There are so many health drinks out there that do more bad than good it’s refreshing to come across one that we can actually trust and that, to boot, taste so good we have to restrain ourselves from downing more than one!

Called Orgain it’s the world’s first doctor developed ready-to-drink organic meal replacement (or if you’re trying to load up on protein and fiber, it makes a fantastic diet supplement), each of the two shakes offered – creamy chocolate fudge and sweet vanilla bean – blend organic protein, organic brown rice, fiber, organic green teas, and pomegranate extracts as well as 24 vitamins and minerals. More impressively for those days where the thought of trekking to the farmer’s market is too much of a burden to bear, Orgain has the antioxidant equivalent of 10 servings of fruits and veggies.

Wash Ensure, Boost, Muscle Milk, Slimfast, and all those other wannabees from your memory because Orgain trumps them in every aspect (including sugar content).

The one downside is [...]

All natural way for longer lashes

Talika, a favorite of Jennifer Aniston who says she uses the brand’s lash products instead of mascara, has come out with a fantastic cleanser called Oil Free Lash Conditioning Cleanser. Designed to nourish and strengthen lashes, while it gently removes even the peskiest of waterproof eye makeup, it’s packed with silk proteins and cornflower extract in a non-grease base. This product is so gentle in fact you can use it even if you’re super sensitive or have lash extensions.

Two thumbs up for finally being able to forget Latisse – and all its scary side effects – and embrace [...]

Stop cold/flu season in its tracks

Now that all the cocktail and dinner parties we hosted in our homes are behind us, it’s time to disinfect and protect! Flu season is officially upon us and we’re doing all that we can to prevent any one of us from getting sick. A nifty little device to help us along is the Pocket Purifier.  Super easy to use, it effectively eliminates and kills intensive germs/bacteria found on any hard surface. The handheld germ-killing UV light kills 99.9% of all germs that cause colds/flu, e-coli, salmonella, mold, fungus and more. Better yet, it’s small enough to fit into even the teeniest of diaper bags and has dozens of uses from sanitizing pacifiers, bottoms and inside purses or kids’ backpacks, diaper bags, toys, kitchen counters and cutting boards, bath sinks and door handles, cell phones, the same keyboard everyone uses during flu season, public bathrooms, hotel remotes and phones, handheld games and controllers…you name it.

All you do is pass the unit over a particular surface area for 10-15 seconds and voila!

We’re not gonna lie [...]
