Products Review in Blue

School started this week, and as I may have mentioned before, it's been about 10 years since I've taken a (legit) college class. I'm lucky enough to be able to use my husband's VA benefits to go back to school for free. I'm going to a local community college to get an Associate's Degree in Paralegal technology. A lot of time when I mention this, people will say: "Oh, are you going to go to law school?" Puh-leeze. Since when does everyone on the planet have to be an over achiever? If I wanted to be an attorney, I'd go to law school. But I don't want to be a lawyer. I have a philosophy: "I want to work to live, not live to work." I'm very excited and a little nervous. This is a field I never saw myself getting into. Frankly, my attempts to find a career have been a serious of epic fails. I was honestly beginning to wonder if I had a "niche" that would equal a steady pay-check. But Matthew (my hubby) has been going to school for free anyway, and his GI Bill was just sitting there, so he offered it to me. I'm hopeful that this will finally help me achieve the ever elusive goal of having a job I'm proud to talk about (or put on Facebook). Anyway, while I was trying to think of something to blog about, I realized I had a lost of recent purchases in the color theme of blue. So I thought I'd do short product reviews of things I love that just happen to be... azul.

First, Skechers GoRun. Fitness has always been another thing I've really struggled with. I'll go through periods of time where I will work out consistently (and usually see results), but it usually never lasts. Before I got pregnant, I decided that I wanted to make running a hobby AND a fitness routine. I just picked it; it sounded like something I'd like if I stuck to it. And, of course, that's the problem. Sticking to it. After my son was born, my husband and I both got Skechers because they were on sale (and we're both terrible impulse shoppers). Luckily, I really, REALLY like these shoes. They are very light and VERY comfortable. The shape of them forces you to run "right", and according to my husband (a fitness expert), that's a good thing. He loves his, too. I have this exact color. I've recently decided that fitness shoes should be in bright colors. It's more fun that way.

I saw this brush on Pinterest (where else) and had to try it. It's a little pricey for a hair brush in my opinion (about $12 at Target) but I've actually decided it's worth the price! I have very thick hair, and usually I don't even bother to use a blow dryer. Takes to damn long. The claim of this brush is that it can remove up to 30% of the water in your hair. I don't know about the 30%, but my hair is defiantly drying faster with the use of this brush. It's become an everyday tool for me.

Next is this cute Tiffany blue iPhone case by elago. I had been looking at it for awhile, but it was $15 with shipping on Amazon, and I had to ask myself if it was worth $15 since it's really only for decoration and not protection of my phone. I love it, though. It's slim, so my phone isn't bulky, and it still shows off iPhone's stylish frame. It's not impact resistant, but along with a screen protector, it's protects my phone for scratches and dirt.

My sudden obsession with Tiffany blue continued with this stunning color by China Glaze. This is for Audrey, which I wore with another bright color in a previous post. It's really a lovely color and I'm glad I found it. And because I'm a bargain shopper, I found my bottle on Amazon for under full price.
