  Sitara Collections may not be a household name, but that may be about to change.   The collection features handmade gemstone jewelry in unique and attractive styles. I recently purchased a pair of gold Celtic Knot earring from Sitara, My Celtic Knott earrings are nickle-free brass with a gold finish. They are lightweight and will look great for St. Patrick's Day and other occasions. I also got a second pair of earrings that feature multicolor silk threads.  You can read my complete review of both pairs of Sitara Collection earrings at: Sitara Collections Handmade Jewelry Made with Gemstones---A Review : SkinHealthBeauty

Skechers You Define Devotion shoes comfortable but flimsy Regular readers will know that I am usually a big fan of Skechers shoes, and in many ways the Skechers You Define Devotion shoes with air cooled Gogamat don't disappoint. They are lightweight, comfortable and remarkably easy on your feet. They are great for wearing around the house, and they came with a thin plastic, lightweight Skecher.s backpack However, the fabric of the shoes feels very flimsy, and the shoes are so light, I doubt they will hold up well. When I walk down my driveway, which is fairly steep, I have the awful feeling my toes are pressing too hard against the fabric and stretching it out.  The thin shoe fabric really worries me.  I bought new black footies from Hanes to protect the shoes from the pressure of my toes.  Also, I wanted black Skechers for dry winter days, but these shoes will be too thin for winter. The footies will keep my feet warm a bit, but these shoes will not be good for outd...

Skechers Beverlee Delighted with Luxe Foam Sandals in Multi Readers of this blog know I am a fan of Skechers. However, I have finally found a pair on sale that are not a perfect fit-- the Skechers Beverlee Delighted with Luxe Foam. These wedge sandals are cute, and the luxe foam is comfortable, but these shoes are a little loose on my feet. My toes slide right out the front of the sandals. That's probably not Skechers fault, however, as I do have a narrow foot and these shoes don't come in narrow. I love the multi-color straps, and the heel means I can use the shoes for more than just casual sandals. However, having my toes slide out the front isn't a desirable look, nor is it comfortable, so I purchased some clear pads for the balls of my feet. Voila! Problem solved! My feet no longer slip and if anything, the shoes are even more comfortable now. The shoes came with a cute but cheap little adjustable, blue plastic phone stand, complete with the Skechers logo. It isn't ...

Skechers Footie Socks Come to the Rescue for Comfort & Preventing Odor I love  Skechers Relaxed Fit  shoes. I love the way they fit and feel. Although they do not give the same level of support as a pair of good tennis shoes, Skechers are comfortable for walking all day long thanks to their memory foam.  Unfortunately, the memory foam and hot, bare feet produce an aroma that is unpleasantly cheesy. To protect your feet from memory foam odor, a pair of footie socks is a must, and Skechers has some great socks to chose from. I tried the Skechers  3 Pack Sport Mesh No Show Liner Socks and must say they are fabulous. The Skechers  3 Pack Sport Mesh No Show Liner Socks fit very well. They don't slip and slide like some footie socks do. There is a plastic strip in the heel that holds the sock in place even when removing your foot from the shoe. Hopefully, the plastic gripping strip will survive many machine washings. I tried these footies in another pair of cheap...

Outside the 2019 Southern Women's Show Before I tell you about my big adventure at this year's Southern Women's Show, I have a confession tomake. Many years ago, I was a hair model. Yes, there is such a thing. A hair model models different hairstyles and hair colors for people in the hair care and salon industry. It is a fun way to earn some free hair care products and the only official training I have had as a model... except for the beauty walk and pivot I learned in charm school as a child. (Insert guffaws and snickers here.) Kathryn Darden at the 2019 Southern Women's Show and with the TDOTHottie Be that as it may, I had the opportunity to strut my stuff again at the 2019 Southern Women's Show in Nashville, Tennessee this week as part of the DAN Talent Group Models and Talent fashion show on Friday afternoon, March 8 (which also happens to be International Women's Day). I got to work with some adorable little girls and some beautiful women. I...

The return of the micro-needle roller   One of the most exciting products I have sold the past three years as a skin care consultant for a leading dermatologist skincare line has been the micro-needle skin roller. It literally changes skin texture by rolling over the epidermis with tiny acupuncture needles. This derma roller removes wrinkles, lines and light scarring while it makes skin look, feel and become younger and healthier. The procedure is painlessly done at home. The roller was so successful, the FDA decided to re-examine it to see if it should be labeled as a medical device and the roller was voluntarily pulled while the  FDA took another look . Now I am happy to announce the roller is coming back next month!  Find it here in October! Find out more at: The return of the micro-needle roller - National Skin Care Examiner
