Back At The Morning Walks

My replacement Xero Shoes arrived the other day and I had to get back out there and break them in. My first pair of Xero Shoes were the Speed Force and I used them all Summer long. However, I got a hole in the tip of the left shoe and little rocks got in between the sole and the insole. That eventually gave me a massive blister. I stopped daily walks for about a week for it to heal up properly. Xero Shoes stands by their warranty, though. I was able to send the shoes back and get a replacement pair at 60% off. That’s fair, I have done a ton of walking in those shoes, way less than 5,000 miles. I just broke 750 since I got the fitbit.

It was nice to get back out on these shoes. I like the feel of them. I even got to break in the Xero Shoes boots that I bought for the winter from the early snow a little while back. I liked them so much I bought 4 pairs total and became an affiliate. So if you click the link below and buy some shoes you help us out. Thanks.

Crayola often sends us products for free to check out and review. Opinions are my own.

With the holiday season quickly approaching Crayola has sent us a few new products to check out. I decided to keep one of them for my own and put it to practical use outside my office. I took the Ultimate Light Board and I affixed some Velcro command strips to the back of it so that I could put it up on the door of my office. This way, when I am recording videos I can turn on the light so that my message appears and the kids know not to come in or knock or open the door. I had a paper sign on the door before and it had two sides. I stopped flipping the thing because no matter what it was ignored. With the Ultimate Lightboard on the door I can change up the message and make it new as well as turn on the light FX. This will certainly draw the kids’ eyes and make them stop before trying to enter.

Of course the main intention for this product is for kids to create fun artwork using the Crayola Gel FX markers. The Ultimate Lightboard has swing out feet so that the lightboard can be freestanding for display. Kids can also remove the black panel and trace anything they’d like in order to make some fantastic artwork. The Ultimate Lightboard goes for $24.99 and takes 3 AA batteries. The Light FX have 4 modes, On, Flashing, Fading and Sleep. Six Gel FX markers come with the Ultimate Lightboard. You can pick this up on Amazon.com and if you were so inclined we’d love it if you used our affiliate link below to order it.
