Today in History | Sanuk Review | Floridian Foot wear

Below is a previous review post I wrote from 2010
When I went to San Diego, California in July 2010, I saw these sandals with my own eyeballs for the first time. Although, they are sold all over South Florida....I had never noticed. I saw them first on a guy, my husband's uncle to be exact and I had asked him...."So are you wearing you're slippers to the beach?" And he said, "No Way these are Sanuk's. I went home and started googling.

From there the excitement of these Sanuk Sandals began for me.

I was really excited to find out that the awesome sidewalk surfers come in Women Styles!!

I was way more excited to find  that Sanuk was started by Jeff Kelley in 1997 making shoes out of Inner-Tubes and Indoor - Outdoor Carpet....right?! (that's ridiculously awesome right there).

Dear Everyone: These are hands down, the most comfortable Sandals I have EVER in my life worn.
Soft, no rubbing between the toes, totally water proof (though the bottom takes a bit to dry), and completely cute and stylish. I've already gotten a ton of compliments on these Sandals. I love them with all my heart.
I ordered a size 9 and they fit perfect!

Get a load of these! The main reason Sanuk is in my life today. The Womens Sidewalk Surfer 
They are something different for women to wear at the beach, by the pool or a casual evening out. I couldn't wait to get my mits on these and I wear them around everywhere. They are also really comfortable, easy to slide on and off and my feet never breathed so well. It definately falls into the awesome category for me because it's not something that you generally see a woman wear. I love that about it and they are so versatile. They only thing that I wouldn't mind is a bit more arch support. But for a day at the beach, walking the boardwalk or hitting the boat deck-- perfect!

Sanuk sells many many more designs for Men, Women and Children .

I want these for my daughters:  The Lily Jane

I wanna see my man in these:  Hey-jut

Also check out their seriously cool TUBEFLOPS!

___________________________________________________________
The above post was written in 2010, and I was cool enough then to review SANUK'S and I'm here to tell you today....in August 2013 that I still own BOTH of these particular pairs of Sanuks pictured above on my feet.  I love them more than any other shoe I wear currently and they are STILL going strong. I have had no sole issues,  and they are still super comfortable. I have washed my sidewalk surfers a few times because it's CONSTANTLY raining in Florida and they still look great. 

PLUS, I have since purchased pairs for both of my daughters. The have the Black and Pink Plaid Sanuk Sidewalk surfers. I'm sad to report they are outgrowing them because Kid's Feet grow TOO FAST!
 (I must file a complaint with life on that one)
Here's the pair my 5 year old currently wears DAILY!

Allow me to post my favorites currently available on the website
My Minnie Me- absolutely needs to start Kindergarten with these:


 KIDS DONNA | $36.00 and look at how comfy they look! I like that you can readjust the top part to be a bit tighter for running in PE (gym)

Older Dearest Fashionista Daughter who loves ZEBRA would love these!

KIDS CASTAWAY | $38

and Because I wear the heck out of my light colored sidewalk surfers, I think it's time to check out a darker pair with a shorty top for myself...
OH MY!| These sweet little sidewalk surfers are $60

You can find Sanuk Shoes at most Dick's Sporting Good Stores and Tampa Bay area surf/water sports shops, and Sports Authority

You know, Floridians need these in their lives. Hint Hint! I highly recommend if you want a quality comfortable shoe that will last.
Plus.

I feel so cool when I wear them 


*I was not paid, and did not receive any new product to write this review. I Just love Sanuk

Florida Life: Beating the heat

Bad Mom Alert: I have not forced my kids to play outside ONCE this summer! 


It's so hott. and we live in the country, without a pool ...away from the coast so it's even HOTTER!

Ways to beat the heat:  I'm not sure, we're indoors!

Normally we do everything we have to do in the morning before it gets really hott outside. Florida heat in the summer is no joke, so make sure you bring, and drink LOTS OF WATER when doing anything outdoors.

We went to Disney world in 2010, in AUGUST. I have never been more thirsty in my life. Hydrating down here is so important, and it's important for your skin too!  You ARE going to sweat in this state. Oh, you don't sweat? Well you will here! Needless to say, we haven't done Disney in the summer since. We ended up spending $80 on bottled water and an overpriced "misting fan water bottle".

Find a friend with a pool.
Go to the beach.
Find a friend that lives on the beach.
Go to indoor shopping centers.
Water Balloon Fights!
Get the neighborhood families to chip in on a waterslide and have a water day.
Always have popscilces on hand.
Ice cream shops.

We haven't done half of these things and we still have August to go through. But that doesn't mean we don't want too! LOL.

Stay cool friends

Florida Life: Neutrogena | Beach Defense™ Sunscreen Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 70

96* degrees
94* degrees
92* degrees

These are the temperatures from the last few days here in sunny Florida. (rainy afternoons)

Truth: We are constantly putting on sunscreen. Sometimes to even go SHOPPING! #floridalifeproblems

I know, you feel bad! Well the good news is, Neutrogena sent me this sunscreen to review and I have to say, I'm not a fan of "creamy" lotions anymore because the sprays are just so much easier to use. But I haven't taken this bottle of sunscreen OUT of my car/purse/bag that I use daily because it REALLY WORKS. It takes a little bit longer to put on than the sprays but you can see where you are putting in on. It's nice that you really have to rub it into the skin. We went deep sea fishing and needed the absolute best. 18 miles off the East Coast of FLorida... I was worried for my little ladies. But because we used Neutrogena's Beach Defense SPF 70, we all had ZERO sunburn.

It also has a pleasant scent, and comes in a nice bottle.


More now than ever people, myself included are more aware of the harmful effects of the sun's UV rays. I used to be that "tan" girl...never wearing sunscreen baring through the sunburns. But that time has come and gone. I want the best for my skin, and my children's skin. I have since bought 2 bottle of the Beach Defense line from Neutrogena.

Neutrogena retails for $10.49 and you can buy it at major retailers everywhere. 

Take care of your skin friends with SUPERIOR SKIN PROTECTION. You are WORTH IT.
