Dr. Legs and Me

Since I’m a fan of sky high heels, I went by Shoegasm yesterday to check out the Catwalk Confidence Challenge event where Emily Splichal aka Dr. Legs was there to show us her popular Catwalk Confidence class which was “designed to help women gain strength, flexibility, comfort and confidence when they walk in high heel shoes, along with lean and defined legs”. I didn’t participate in the class but just watching it looked hard and intense already, no wonder Dr. Legs has an amazing body. She has perfect posture and the way she walked was full of confidence, definitely made me want to hit the gym haha.

In the Catwalk Confidence, Dr. Legs uses techniques from strength training and yoga to target muscles that are affected by overuse from high heels, strengthening the areas that can be broken down by constant heel-wearing. According to the press release, regular sessions of Catwalk Confidence correct poor posture and foot discomfort, allowing women to walk pain-free in heels. If this is true, I’d totally do the workout since I can’t really do high heels for a long period of time- has anyone tried?

When the name Sabon comes up, I automatically think of soap- may be because every time I shop in Soho they are passing out free samples of soap outside the store. Last week I got a package in the mailbox from Sabon, it was an invitation to their launch event of their new Organic Beauty Line and a jar of their newest Organic Butter Cream. The box was really cute and thoughtful, loved that they put the time out to send a sample of their new product along with the invitation.

Tuesday night, the Organic Beauty Line was introduced to the press at their Soho store with drinks and h’ordourves that has the same ingredients they used in the collection. Super yummy stuff, especially the tea! We were also invited to try out the products in store, I washed the dead skins off my hands with the Organic Body Scrub it really left my hands smooth and silky. Then applied a lil bit of the Organic Butter Cream (a pea size is more than enough), now I have super soft hands for two days (the lovely lady said it lasts for two days). I really thinking of trying the body scrub on my entire body now haha.

The Sabon Organic Beauty Line consists of eight products: Organic Hand Cream ($18), Organic Foot Cream ($15), Organic Face Serum ($49), Organic Eye Lifting Serum ($39), Organic Body Scrub ($30), Organic Butter Cream ($39), Organic Day Cream ($39) and Organic Olive Oil Soap ($10). The product is suitable for all skin types and has a subtle apricot fragrance to it. The line is also paraben-free, sulfate-free, certified by ECOCERT® and environmentally friendly by not testing on animals and using recycled packaging. The line is on sale now at Sabon stores and will soon be available online.

Normally I don’t post event pictures unless I go but this lies in the category of Chickz & Kickz so I decided to, plus the Reebok EasyTone sneaker sounds quite interesting.

Last night some of the most desirable legs and butts of the celebrity bunch celebrated the launch of Reebok’s new EasyTone sneaker including reality stars Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian along with their mom Kris Jenner, Audrina Patridge, Kendra Wilkinson, Vanessa Minnillo, Regina King, Mel B, Stacy Keibler and Karina Smirnoff and many more with DJ Samantha Ronson spinning tracks.

Per the press release, Reebok’s revolutionary EasyTone technology allows busy women to work their butt up to 28% more effectively than by wearing an ordinary sneaker, just by doing everyday activities like walking the dog or shopping. Reebok’s EasyTone sneaker effectively tones key butt and leg muscles by using advanced balance pods built into the shoe. The balance pods create natural instability with every step that a woman takes. The micro-instability forces muscles to adapt, and in doing so, they work harder. Reebok EasyTone is currently available on www.reebok.com and at key retailers Lady Foot Locker, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Nordstrom, and Sports Chalet.

Kinda makes me want to try it haha! Would you try?

Yesterday in Paris, the Lancôme makeup team unveiled their latest fall 2009 color collection, Declaring Indigo. Created by Lancôme artistic director for makeup, Aaron De Mey, this collection celebrates Paris in all its vibrancy. Aaron chose shades that represent the glamour, the energy and the passion of Paris—indigo blue, bright red and luxurious gold.

Some of you may know that the key shades debuted during fall 2009 New York Fashion Week. At Chris Benz, all three Le Vernis nail colors were showcased: Golden Audacity, Indigo Paris and Rouge Liberty. Lancôme spokesmodel Daria Werbowy is the face of the collection. She was photographed by Mario Sorrenti for the ad, here’s a peek of the behind the scenes shoot- she’s looking fab!

The Declaring Indigo Collection is scheduled to release starting in August 2009, but Nordstrom has a limited-edition Declaring Indigo brush-and-makeup bag set ($52) available for pre-order now.

Loving Daria’s look, definitely can’t wait till the Le Vernis nail colors release- the Indigo Paris is looking nice!
