Five For Fighting

Five For Fighting has released a brand new album called Slice. I was lucky enough to hear a review copy before the release, and one lucky reader will get an autographed copy of the album (read on for how to enter).

John Ondrasik, singer and songwriter for Five for Fighting, writes very personal songs with social messages. One of my favorites, the song that introduced me to the band, was Superman.  So I was very happy to get a chance to listen to the new album, Slice, featuring the song “Chances”.

The album doesn’t have the sound or feel of the song Superman, but it is a great album nonetheless. Lots of piano, good vocals, and some very thoughtful lyrics. It’s a perfect relaxing album, upbeat and positive lyrics, but also slightly mellow. The song, This Dance, made me smile (it’s a cute, romantic tune). I was also impressed to learn more about the band through this review, turns out that John is a great supporter of our troops. He has performed for US Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Hawaii, Guam & Japan on USO tours. Also, John created & produced “For the Troops”, a CD compilation of superstar recordings that is available for free to every active service person in US Armed Forces. We love that he has done this because we too love our troops!

Five For Fighting is also on tour! Here are tour dates for a special tour, An Acoustic Evening with Five For Fighting:

Gypsy Soule Legacy

I recently got an amazing pair of boots to review on our site from Gypsy Soule. These are not your regular boots, they are handcrafted to bring your feet a totally unique wearing experience.

If you are looking for something unique and something that will help you stand out from the crowd, then Gypsy Soule is for you! From studs, animal print, zippers, and fur, you can find them on glam embellished Gypsy Soule sheepskin lined suede boots.

These aren’t your regular, plain old boots though! They have captured the attention of retailers and celebrities everywhere. Celebrities Kris Jenner Kardashian mom, Miranda Lambert, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Love Hewitt are proud owners of Gypsy Soule products. I imagined them being a perfect boot for the Sundance Film Festival, where you need both comfort and style, while also braving the snow and cold!

The boots come in other patterns, and the company also offers some fun flip flops and clothing. My summer loving souls would be happy in their flip flops for sure! Luckily, the boots are made to help keep the feet toasty warm in the coming winter months.

A little about the company:

In 2003, Lorinda Graham-Van Newkirk brought the concept of jeweled, cowhide flip-flops to reality in the Western retail market. Seemingly overnight, the once unseen combination was on the shelves of retailers around every corner and Gypsy Soule® flip-flops became the catalyst for an industry trend. Lorinda and Amy plan to build upon the core of Gypsy Soule — “products for women, designed by women.” The collaboration began with friendship and a mutual work experience. Both bring various pieces of experience to the design table and plan to bring fresh, new items to the mainstream and western retail industry.

I have decided to donate my review pair to our Pink October event! That’s right, one lucky winner with a size 9 (womens, USA) foot will get the chance to own these blinged out boots! Prepare your feet for warmth, and prepare yourself to turn heads! The pair is just like those in the photo, and are brand spanking new (only tried one once with clean socks, so don’t fret). Would you like a chance to win?
