Does This Thing Work?

This is not an endorsement!

Sketchers isn't really my brand...I'm a Nike fiend, however as much as I adore Kim K(The Kmile Run Is Over), I would never buy a product she or most any socialite endorses because they get everything for free.
Why would they say anything bad against the product? How would you know if they even used the product?

I once bought a pair of the Curves sandals from Avon and once I adjusted to the rocking motion (they were curved at the sole)I found my calves starting to hurt after walking in them a couple days. They became impractical to wear to work so I wore them mostly when running errands. They never gave me any muscle definition but I could feel them tightening along with a lot of cramps in my feet. I went to the gym for years and know as a woman it's more difficult and takes forever to shape and tone the lower body even using all the state of the art universal equipment.

Unless you are going to walk everywhere all the time at a set speed for a certain amount of time, I don't think a pair of sneakers is going to give the same results as hitting the gym.

IMHO

What do you think? Let us know.

    The least expensive exercise of all....walking.

    I gained a lot of weight when I moved to the suburbs. My body moved more getting in and out of a car.

Trunk Diva Budget Beauty

I've always enjoyed wearing makeup.  As a teenager I first starting using my face as a canvas to hide all the image destroying zits that sparsely covered my forehead and formed in patches on my cheeks. Naturally, at the time of my face painting phase, I was unaware of the scientific improvements being made to treat acne that would eventually appear first in the doctors office as Retin A. Meanwhile I continued to strip all the natural oils from my skin by over washing my face with soap, and further drying it out by applying rubbing alcohol to my zits. This is not a good idea. Sometimes my face was so tight and dry in places it hurt and then I ironically ended up applying some kind of oil (petroleum jelly aka Vaseline or regular baby oil) to soothe and restore the obviously necessary moisture back to my skin. Yes, the teenage years; I've since learned much healthier skincare methods. Cosmetics always have been and still are an expense for most women when adapting a budget. ...

Welcome to Diva Lynn's Trunk Thank you for showing interest in my blog. I am going to focus on how the non actress, non musician, non celebrity, non reality star aka Diva Lynn keeps up with the latest fashion trends and how she maintains her own style on a very small budget. I hope to create followers of you all with topics that you can identify with concerning personal growth via beauty and fashion. Diva Lynn's Trunk is about everything ladies with eclectic taste love: hair, make up, and fashion .   I am a lover of arts and crafts. I enjoy transforming anything with my hands into  "oohs" and "aahs" . Just as a painter uses brush strokes to create on canvas, so does a make up artist on a face. A sculptor turns a mound of clay into his or her vision and a hair stylist does just the same with a head of hair. In addition to my eclectic love of beauty and fashion I am also an aspiring entrepreneur. I sell skincare and beauty products...
