On a lovely fall day, there is nothing better than putting on a nice polished leather pair of boots.
I know this because my husband must of started wearing boots when he was a itty bitty baby. He looks great in them and wears boots everywhere.

However, if they are not cleaned and polished on a regular basis, the boots will show the dust and dirt. Leather polishes and cleansers can sometimes be messy or not clean as well, so finding a quality product can be difficult to find. My hubby has been looking for a polish for this vast collection of boots. We had the opportunity to try a leather conditioner by King Ranch.
My hubby wanted to try the conditioner on one of his favorite pair of boots because as you can see in the picture below the boots have been worn quite a bit and need some sprucing up. Well, let’s see what happens?
Before Using the King Ranch Leather Conditioner

He followed the directions exactly as stated on the back of the bottle.
1.Clean off surface dirt and dust with a damp cloth (an old T-shirt works well) or brush. Surface may darken due to dampness.
2.Allow to dry completely and return to its original color.
3. Shake bottle of conditioner thoroughly before using. (I always clean and polish my shoes in a ventilated area. The fumes are not strong, but I like to have an open area.)
4. Test conditioner on a non-visible part of upholstery, leather of boot or handbag, etc.
5. Squirt on a dry cloth and rub in until conditioner disappears into the leather.
6. Let conditioner dry and wipe off film with a dry, clean cloth.

Look at the boots now! He is ready to go to work or two-stepping the night away. The boots look brand new. The leather has been conditioned and even have a matte shine to them.
My Earth Origin Leather Boots In the picture below is one boot with the conditioner and one boot without.

The difference is quite amazing. The boot on the right looks as if I had just purchased from the store. It makes the untreated boot on the left look worn and dull.
The boots dry and feel smooth and the transformation makes me and my hubby believers in the King Ranch Leather Conditioner.
Do you have cowboy boots in your closet that you have not worn in years because the leather has lost its shine? It is time to purchase a bottle (or two) of the King Ranch Leather Conditioner. One bottle costs only $9 and there is enough conditioner to polish several pairs of boots or other leather shoes. But another awesome thing about this leather conditioner; you can use it on other leather products, like your favorite handbag or the headboard of your bed frame.
Taking good care of your boots should not be rocket science. I have included some helpful tips to keep your boots look brand new, courtesy of King Ranch:

I was invited to attend a #MOTOZFASHIONNIGHT BY #VERIZON, at Laurie Solet. The Laurie Solet store was closed to the public for this special event. I found out more about the new New Moto Z Device and accessories; available exclusively to Verizon Wireless. I also was able to learn about Verizon’s Hopeline program.
It was an awesome night and I had the privilege of meeting the Verizon representatives in person, and seeing some familiar faces and a great group of bloggers who blog about various genres from Fashion to mom-hood.
Motorola Droid Z
The Moto Z Droid Phone is one of the thinnest phones I have seen and very lightweight. Verizon representative, Megan gave a demonstration of how to use the phone. The Moto Z has a battery that can last a full day and includes the turbo drive charge that can charge your phone for eight hours of use in only fifteen minutes. The snap on interchangeable Moto Mods that attach to convert the phone into a projector and speaker.
Moto Droid Z
I was amazed how the Moto Droid Z projected the image onto the screen up to 70 feet. I can envision friends and family showing photo galleries at get-togethers. It could also be used for presentations at work if the presentation was downloaded on your phone.If I get the opportunity to try out the phone and the snap mods I will do an in-depth detailed review on my blog.

The night included some great shopping, I and the other bloggers received a Laurie Solet gift card. The store has beautiful women’s apparel and jewelry that are perfect for fall and winter. The designs are from local designers and the styles are relaxed and laid back.

What I thought was most important was learning more about Verizon’s Hopeline program. Megan gave a presentation that shared some of the Hopeline facts. If you have old cell phones or devices, Verizon will collect them and either give them to people in need or recycle them an a environmental manner.
Did you see in the chart that 1 in 4 Women, 1 in 9 men, and more than 3 million children are affected by domestic violence in the USA.
Please watch William Gay’s story.
The color purple represents Domestic Violence Awareness month. In the gift bags were the Mophie power station charger and a pair of LG Tone Pro headphones.
On each box of a Verizon purple product for Domestic Violence Awareness Month reads:
hopeline
“Support victims and survivors of domestic violence by going purple. For every purple product purchased for Domestic Violence Awareness Month , Verizon- through its HopeLine program will make a $3 donation to Camp Hope America. Your purple purchase will help victims and their children gain access to valuable services to help them heal, survive and thrive.”
Thank you Verizon for inviting me to this event. Great opportunity to learn and support Domestic Awareness Month.
JTwisdom received a Laurie Solet gift card for attending the event; and a Mophie Powerstation and the LG TonePRO in the gift bag in exchange for writing about the Hopeline Program. This blog is my honest and heartfelt review of the event.
Today was a beautiful sunny low humidity day.
What a wonderful day to go for a run and get in the zone with some really good music. When I run, my music makes me not even think about how hard i am working.
Because of my partnership with Verizon Wireless, I recently had an opportunity to demo the LG Tone Pro Bluetooth Stereo headset. This wireless headset is designed for the on-the-go person for listening to music and taking phone calls. I was curious to listen to the quality of the sound from the earbuds and how well the wireless worked.
LG Tone PRO Bluetooth Stereo Headset
– The headset has a comfortable, lightweight, around-the-neck sleek design. It do no like wearing anything heavy weight hanging on my neck. This headset is a perfect companion.
– I synced the headset via Bluetooth with my phone. The music sounds quite clear and I could hear the bass really well. If a call comes in, the music pauses and I can answer the call. After the call finishes, my music is there for me right where I left off.
– Tone & Talk™ 2.0- Tone & Talk 2.0* allows text reading over TONE PRO. It also incorporates Voice Memo for recording memos and Find Me for locating a paired device.
– The new wire design is low profile and specially made to accentuate the slim design of the next generation TONE PRO. Wires are constructed of tough, quality, lightweight Kevlar fibers for durability and performance.
– The LG TONE PRO offers noise-canceling, dual MEMS microphones for clear calls even in noisy surroundings. Featuring echo cancellation and noise reduction, you can take your calls knowing that TONE PRO will deliver your voice clearly.

Bluetooth Range
With the wireless feature, the headset will work up 33 feet from the base station – whether it is a phone or computer and another Bluetooth device. If you keep your phone on you, you will not have problem. However, if you keep the phone in a room and leave for another location, you will find that the reception will get very spotty outside of that 33 feet range.
Long-life battery
The headset is designed for 10.5 hours of music time, up to 16 hours of talk time and up to 30 days of standby time. Charging time is less than two hours.

Purchasing your diamond engagement ring from a jewellery specialist is a wonderful experience that is guaranteed to increase your happiness on multiple levels.
In life, there are very few special occasions that become etched upon one’s memory forever. For most people, remembering their marriage proposal, engagement or wedding day is peak moments that come flooding back with feelings of love and joy for many years to come.
Because such life changing events is so precious and rare, it is important that the finer details are extremely well-planned and that nothing is left to mere chance or luck. Purchasing a diamond engagement ring from a specialist jeweller guarantees a level of personalisation and satisfaction that cannot be matched by a more standard retailer.
What is a Specialist Jeweller?
Specialist jewellers are properly trained in all aspects of the jewellery business, including gem sourcing and valuation, jewellery design, precious metals acquisition and skilled craftsmanship. They are highly capable of custom making the perfect ring to suit a couple’s taste, style and budget. Therefore, the importance of a diamond engagement rings specialist cannot be underestimated.
Mastering the Elements
There are many elements that go into creating a beautiful engagement ring, such as sourcing the right diamond and helping clients understand how diamonds are graded, valued, cut and set. Such jewellers offer a wide choice of stylish examples and can even encourage couples to bring their own creative ideas to life in the form of a unique, one of a kind ring design. Unforgettable & unique engagement proposals and stunning engagement rings go perfectly hand in hand to make your most special day even more personal and memorable.
Spoiled for Choice
Jewellers that have access to craftsmen that can custom make virtually any ring imaginable will always have an incredible advantage over their more mundane competitors that trade from major shopping centres and the local high street.
Many of the larger jewellery chains offer the same standard fare with very little variation in style, materials and settings. They buy rings in bulk that are mass produced rather than lovingly crafted and sadly, this lack of originality and care really does show.
Highly Personalised
In contrast, a specialist jeweller will take the time to get to know about the person that commissions their engagement ring. They have access to the necessary raw materials such as varying grades of diamonds and other gems as well as precious metals like platinum and rose, white or yellow gold.
Skilled craftsmen can blend all of these elements in many combinations, create hybrid styles, recreate a very specific look and even take antique or heirloom jewellery and refashion it into something modern, elegant and personally significant to the wearer.
Deeply Satisfying
Commissioning a custom made engagement ring is well worth the positive feelings that come from bringing your creation to life. Something about the creative process of mulling over the design and changing and perfecting it until looks exactly right is incredibly satisfying.
A Unique Symbol of Your Love
Knowing that no other ring quite like yours exists,anywhere else in the world, makes your ring a unique symbol of the special bond that only you and your fiancé have with each other. That is the kind of significance that cannot be bought off the shelf at any price!
The combination of choice, freedom, personalisation, flexibility and significance that comes from having your engagement ring custom made with the help of a specialist jeweller cannot be underestimated. Whenever you gaze upon your ring you’ll be forever reminded of the creative process and glad you took the time to craft a statement that makes your engagement experience infinitely more heartwarming and joyful.
Discover what you can do to help so your daughter can have the best prom possible.
Sherri Hill
Moms, if you are reading this right, we would like to let you know how important you are. Not just to life itself of course, but to your daughter’s prom night. Being one of the most important nights in her life to date, you will play an essential role in making sure she feels and looks her best.
Not only this but part of the whole experience which makes prom so much fun is how moms are always an essential part of the process. Whether it’s shopping from a trusted store like Peaches Boutique in Chicago, IL, choosing and planning make-up ideas or giving honest yet loving feedback on things, no girl can do without her mom for prom.
So now you are fully aware of just how important you are to your daughter’s prom, let’s look at some important things you can do along the way.
When it comes to the prom night, you may have to save the day (more than once) and here’s how…
The hair goes wrong! Here’s how to fix a BHD (Bad hair day): If you have booked in with the hairdressers and things aren’t going as planned, breathe and relax. You can ask the stylist for some tips on how to create the desired style if time is short. Make sure you have some curlers, bobby pins, fancy clips and a straightener at home if you have to clean up the mess.
Make sure the make-up is perfect: Make-up can either make or break the overall look of your daughter on prom. It’s good to emphasize from the start just is. This may cost more up-front but will cut down on costs when hiring beauticians. There are also plenty of cool YouTube tutorials from pros who can really help you create the look your daughter wants.
Make sure you buy all the essentials: Essentials can include anything from hairspray to foot gels to make heels that little bit more comfortable. It’s the small things that count and can make your daughters prom night go smoothly.
Think about the logistics: All girls get excited about their proms, so much so they may look past all-important elements such as how they are going to arrive to their prom. It might be a good idea then to help arrange the ride. Most chauffeur services will be in high demand around this time of year so ensure to get things booked well in advance. Also consider the numbers, the more people you and your daughter can get on board the cheaper the overall cost will be.
Think about any after-party: Will your home host the after-party? Does your daughter have any plans for when the prom is over? Thinking post-prom is also an area which may slip everyone’s mind but be important to finishing the night with a bang!
As you can see, you’re an essential part to the process, mom! Doing these things can really help your daughter enjoy her prom and look the part.
Fashion intricate the use of complex ideas which blends color and artistic design themes to highlight an idea or inspiration, Fashion inspirations or influence come from different sources, may it be from movies, clubs, sports, different cultures, nature or even from the four seasons. It all comes to the designer from which he or she can draw inspiration from. A designer can make the best use of his or her creativity to translate and adopt such inspirations and give it an artistry to fit into the mainstream of making fashion apparel clothing dresses for women.
The Fashion Inspirations A varsity jacket for example can have the patch knit work with their specific team or college colors for the representation or the clubs or affiliations can choose their own colors or symbols to identify themselves based on certain qualities or attributes, such representations or the blend of colors have been interpreted and reinterpreted to showcase a unique style.
Denim jeans for example have been reinvented over the years to portray free spirit or willingness, thus it is now a popular fashion trend for the teenagers and have been modified with metal studs, rhinestones, torn up patterns and hand markings. The idea for certain fashion styles become eternal with the representation of an idea or a unique attribute.
The idea of wearing a black leather jacket can personify dominance, red fit ‘n flare dresses can outline passion and sex appeal and bright colored tunic tops can showcase wittiness and chic personality. Even seasons help to compartmentalize fashion as designers focus on the elements of design with natural aesthetics, color patterns and print textures that translate fashion. Colorful floral embroidery designs by designer Nara Paz have been hugely adapted by fashion icons.
The Four Seasons Each season can indicate a reference point to draw inspiration from and have an impact on the people, for example, summer is a season of bright colors and brings the thought of an idea for rain or gardens. Winter mostly showcase light dull colors in apparel wears, mostly white, light blue or pink and brings frosty images of snow and ice. Fall season articulate reflections of spring and spring on the other hand brings liveliness of print design patterns from the inspiration of different flowers which blossom during the entire season.
These fashion timelines balances fashion choices for people and designers because each season that you experience, flows right for your fashion choices. Designers nowadays look for the real creativity and inspiration which does not necessarily change over time, the real creativity is how, when, where applied which is a creative act in itself.
