Makeup in Arizona is like drying your hair in the South. The struggle is real to have the makeup set just right without looking like a chalky mess. The heat can be absolutely unforgiving with wearing any form of powder than can smudge, wear away, or is just flat messy to apply. I have come to love eye shadow sticks that are easy to apply and do not have the dust of normal powder shadow all of the place. NYX Cosmetics has a fun line of glam eye shadows in a pack of five.

Show Your Hip Appeal – Fanny Pack

90s fanny pack

Fashion is always so entertaining to me; fashion ebbs and flows each year and seems to play off decades past. Couture revivals. One article of fashion that has been the “butt” of many jokes and just awful no matter who sports the accessory is the fanny pack. This back end accessory or worn like a kangaroo pouch was just so gauche. However the fanny pack got a face lift and is excellent for  women, or men, on the go. Meet Hip Appeal, no more lugging a bag, purse, or gaudy pouch with cumbersome zippers and clips as you fumble for your belongings. Continue reading “Show Your Hip Appeal – Fanny Pack”

Are you one of those ladies that love to peruse makeup? Look at all the beautiful colors and makeover options and adore the palettes and hues? I know I am one of them. Makeup is scary to me because I have been told I should wear certain hues and colors and shades and when I wear them and wear the suggested application I end up looking a bit like Tammy Faye Baker. Lipstick is especially scary for me because I would hate to look like a clown. Or worse, I have a horrible reaction because I have uber sensitive skin. Couple all these factors with the brutality of the Arizona climate, especially in summer, the whole bit reeks of disaster. Until I was introduced to Mineral Fusion which is a mineral cosmetics brand that creates beautiful colors and hues to accent and enhance any woman’s beauty and is completely vegan.

Girly and Gutsy Young Female Entrepreneurs in Fashion

Girls fashion is all over the board. I swore to The Chad I didn’t want a daughter because I was terrified of the world she would be raised. Obviously I ate those words, but today I am terrified nonetheless because of the amount of undue and unnecessary sexualization in our society that is aimed at young girls and young women. Fashion seems to be the biggest driver. However, I have found that even the best gems in fashion can emerge under all the pressure. Some girly, gutsy female entrepreneurs that create fun fashion without oversexualizing and or seeming too dull or lacking relevancy for young women.

Make Old Shoes New With Shwings

I don’t know about you Mom’s, but my kids tear through shoes like a rabid animal on raw meat. I have a tendency to buy a couple pairs of shows because I know how fast they burn through shoes and I have some backups just in case. But my shoe purchasing style has not always been favored amongst my kids. Their style and my style for them definitely differ, which means that sometimes we are left with some brand new shoes that go untouched and unworn. Until we spiced them up to look new, with Shwings.celebrity schwings Continue reading “Make Old Shoes New With Shwings”

Share The Love with Compassion Brands

compassion brands, anti-bullyingThe anti-bullying movement has been on the rise, more and more people are sporting their pride through passion. While purple and indigo are wonderful colors, not everyone would enjoy flaunting the color to indicate their support. On The Five Fish quest to find unique, functional and amazing gifts we found fashion, with a statement. The statement is of love, no more hate, hope to make a difference; what better way to make a difference than to make a statement in fashion.

We are a family all about love and equality. Sporting a trend of kindness and love where we believe everyone is created equal no matter what. What better way to boast our support of the anti-bullying movement, having a small aversion to purple and indigo is through stylish fashion that we found in Compassion Brands.The Five Fish, Gift guide, The Five Fish gift guide

Compassion Brands is more than just fashion for a cause. Compassion Brands is fashion that makes a difference with a financial contribution, a charitable donation with each purchase as a reminder for those who see the brand and wear the brand that they are not alone.

The simple solution of their brand: Be kind to yourself and the people around you.

The first chain has a heart with a message on the front: Live with Love. The second chain has the anti symbol to promote anti-bullying. I love the message! In my home we have a message, Love God, Love People, Do Stuff.

Give Cold Weather the Boot with BEARPAW

Now that the days and nights are getting colder our fashion begins to turn to boots. My daughter has been embracing her own fashion and style and has spoken so animated and passionately about how she would love to have a pair of boots. She raids my closet often to tromp around the house in my heels and boots. This Christmas I only felt right that she have her own pair of boots. We are fans of fashion brands that make a statement in more ways that just style, ways that impact the greater good with a bold statement and I found BEARPAW.

bearpaw boots, bearpaw logoFounded in 2001, BEARPAW was created with the intention of utilizing sheepskin in the redefinition of casual footwear. Sheepskin is natures fabric that helps regulate body temperature to keep feet warmer in the colder weather and cooler in warmer weather. BEARPAW strives for sustainability with setting expectations in their offices for recycling with their employees, encouraging their suppliers to act in the same manner and commit to environmentally friendly packaging and practices.

bearpaw boots, macey bootsI received the Kid Macey boot in chocolate. They are made of cow upper suede, the sheepskin footbed, wool blend collar trim and lining. The boots are absolutely adorable! My daughter simply lost her mind. The boots are easy to slip on and off yet have classic laces to keep them from falling off. They have sturdy outer soles, but have enough give and bend for my daughter to run around and have fun in without being restrictive.

The boots are not limited to just little girls. Ladies, get your fix by choosing from the various styles of boots, booties, knits, slippers and even wedges. Throw your husbands into the mix as well with boots, slippers, slip ons and hikers. BEARPAW is a one stop shop for all your footwear needs and styles for the whole family. Who said just ladies have to have boots.

The Five Fish, Gift guide, The Five Fish gift guideBEARPAW are also affordably priced so as not to break your bank when looking to purchase sheepskin style boots, compared to other brands that are comparable to a car payment. Shipping, well don’t fret shipping as shipping is free with delivery in 7-10 days. You can always upgrade for an additional fee if you simply cannot wait for your new kicks.

Go explore BEARPAW for yourself where you can stay up to date on recent news or check out the latest fashion trends. Maybe you have a pair already, why don’t you snap a shot and share with them on Instagram. What boots would you choose for yourself and or your family members?
