Snow Daze: Craghoppers Hallmoor Parka & Tubb's Wilderness Snowshoes



Incredibly warm and stylish Craghopper's Hallmoor Parka

NYC, NY All this talk of a Polar Vortex and record snowfall shouldn't keep you cooped up! A super warm and chic outdoor parka is what you need for our seriously cold NY/NJ winters. While you're at it, grab a pair of snowshoes and get outside for some exercise. You'll find that you can grow to love the snow as much as I do when there are fun things to do like snowshoeing, sledding or cross country skiing. First, let's get dressed!

NEW Hallmoor Parka by Craghoppers, UK
Yes, this is my idea of a proper coat for both town and country. Warming pockets keep hands toasty and an adjustable belt helps keep the wind from chilling your core. This parka was comfortable and cozy during our snowshoe hike in 19 degree weather.  

The Hallmoor comes with a detachable faux fur hood
Hood's draw strings can be pulled snug around the face.
Hallmoor Parka Details:
Wrap up in style with our fab new insulated parka. Hallmoor Parka’s sleek cotton outer, with neat belt and stud-fastened bellowed and patch pockets, delivers watertight AquaDry Membrane performance. Inside, the waterproof jacket’s map-print lining is paired with lightweight wadding for added warmth. The zip-off hood has a gorgeous removable faux-fur trim for the full parka effect. Complete with innovative Hot Pockets, it’s a real winter winner.   Also includes knitted inner collar, waxed cord adjusters to hood, zipped handwarmer and inner pockets, O/S map size pockets, stud-fastening stormflap with inner zip guard, self-fabric stud cuff adjusters and inner knitted rib, elbow patches and brushed chin guard.   Craghoppers’ heritage range fuses impressive weatherproof technologies with premium fabrics and top-quality designs in an outdoor clothing collection that delivers peerless performance and timeless style.

Tubb's Women's Wilderness Snowshoes
These are the same women specific snowshoes designed for the Tubb's Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer events. These are the perfect all terrain snowshoe that can go nearly anywhere, even up hill thanks to the ActiveLift™ heel bar.  We have a large estate so we took these out in the woods on our own land which includes uneven gulleys and streams. They handled it all!
 
Tubbs Women's Wilderness Snowshoes work on most any terrain
Built for speed, these modern fitness snowshoes can replace your running shoes in the wintertime. Snowshoeing burns tons of calories, (between 400-1,000 per/hr) and is one of the best outdoor exercises you can do. They are lightweight and you can even choose the degree of float desired according to your weight. The bindings are very easy to adjust with gloved hands, (I wear Scott Snowboarding Gloves).
 
Tubbs Women's Wilderness Snowshoes do it all
Women's Wilderness Snowshoes
The ultimate adventure starts with the right gear. Packed full of great features like the 180Pro binding and the Fit-Step™ frame, the Wilderness snowshoe is the perfect blend of technology, comfort and convenience. And now with the ActiveLift™ heel lift, there’s no adventure this snowshoe can’t tackle!

New Launch: British Sterling HIM Private Stock & Reserve

Perfect for HIM: British Sterling
British Sterling Fragrance for Men has been a well recognized brand for a number of years. However this relaunch by Dana of the HIM (His Imperial Majesty) line is really something quite extraordinary. 
is a subtle nod to King George VI who was one of only a few British Royals to hold that title and whose military background led him to work tirelessly to strengthen the image and resolve of England after World War II. - See more at: http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2014/04/28/630739/10078718/en/Iconic-Men-s-Fragrance-British-Sterling-Re-Launching-in-May.html#sthash.Iz7r1KMM.dpuf

With a subtle nod to His Imperial Majesty, King George VI, one of the few British Royals to have held this title, British Sterling is reaching out to a new generation of well groomed men. In fact, sales of male grooming and skin care products have seen a steady rise over the past few years. No longer the realm of the "metro-sexual" smelling good is now synonymous with looking good. The British Sterling line has always had a "James Bond" sort of edge as the packaging is the most elegant and recognizable of those currently sold.

So I was pleased to see the update to the bottles still included the beautiful silver shoulders and cap. So here's what's new with the relaunch:

British Sterling HIM Private Stock-comes in a clean, white opaque glass bottle with the signature silver shoulders and cap. The Spray top means they guys can spritz it on all over vs the usual after shave which has to be poured into the hands.

The fragrance itself is very light and clean but decidedly masculine. Top notes include fresh citruses with a bold woodsy middle note. Warm mosses and sensual amber round out the bottom notes making it a very contemporary mens fragrance.



British Sterling HIM Reserve - is very striking in its black opaque glass bottle with silver shoulders and cap. Once again the spray application lends to a lighter, all over application of the fragrance. It can even be lightly sprayed on under clothes after laundering for an extra layer of scent.

HIM Reserve offers a provocative Asian blend of aromatic spices, intriguing woods and suede undertones. The overall fragrance is decidedly British Sterling but with more mysterious undertones than the Private Stock. I would "reserve" this fragrance for evening as its sensuality may be a bit more than one would want for daytime wear. Very distracting for us ladies!


Both releases from the newly launched British Sterling lineup will include body wash, sprays, antiperspirants and an advanced three piece shave system. All will be available at most major retailers, (Walmart, Rite-Aid, Kmart) offering luxury grooming products at affordable prices. These updates offer more of an urban vibe representing the new sophistication of the UK man. Dressing well and smelling pleasant is in fact a form of good manners which every man can most certainly afford. Want more information? Visit British Sterling on Facebook
