Work Harder With Ryka

Play hard and work harder with 

Ryka fitness shoes!

Made exclusively for women, I bet you didn't know this about Ryka...

Ryka knows that a woman’s foot shape, muscle movement and skeletal structure are all inherently different from a man’s. The “Q-angle”(quadricep angle) – the anatomical relationship between the hip and knee – measures 5–7 degrees greater for women than men. As a result, women tend to shift more weight to the outside of their feet which leads to over-pronation, instability at foot strike and higher risk of injury. All Ryka sneakers, including Ryka walking shoes, are designed and developed taking into account a woman’s unique fit needs.

Score one for womankind!

Join The 5-Free Nail Polish Movement

Maybe you've heard the term 5-Free or 3-Free with regards to nail polishes and quite possibly you were too scared to ask someone to define what it actually means. Congratulations because you've come to the right place, without having to face an intimidating beauty counter to get an accurate answer. We took it upon ourselves to go straight to an awesome source for direct yet correct information on the topic. Today our friends at Londontown USA divulge! Score one for nail polish lovers everywhere. Enjoy!

Why is everyone joining in the 5-Free nail polish movement? What could happen to us from using normal polish that is not 5-Free?

Nail polish is generally considered to be one of the most toxic beauty products; the fumes alone give away how hazardous some polishes can be. Research has found that Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin, and Camphor harm health, are linked to cancer, asthma and a host of other dangerous conditions. In fact the known carcinogen (formaldehyde) and the two reproductive toxins (dibutyl phthalate or DBP and toluene) have been banned for use in cosmetics by the European Union since 2004. It's time US brands caught up.

Camden Chic

Research shows that chemicals like DBP and toluene can act as endocrine disruptors and impact healthy prenatal development and because girls are now exposed to them from many sources they may play a role in the increasing rate of early puberty. To make a long story short, we now have a chance to reduce our exposure to these dangerous ingredients by using 5-Free nail polish. As you know Londontown is 5-Free.

Portobello Plum

However, we didn't stop there. Besides removing the big 5 carcinogenic ingredients, our team of chemists have also removed all other harmful toxic chemicals that are typically found in nail polish. What most people don’t realize is that toxins not only affect health but they also strip nails of their natural nutrients causing them to weaken, dry and break. In addition to stripping the toxins, we infused lakur with our uniquely formulated family remedy, containing a blend of vitamins, minerals and vegetable protein, basically adding nourishment and hydration to nails while wearing polish. Our chemists have also done away with wheat and animal protein but preserved strength by enhancing with vegetable protein, keeping Londontown vegan, gluten free and cruelty free. Londontown hopes our twofold approach of removing toxins and infusing polish with healing ingredients will make everyone think twice about their health and head straight for Londontown when they are in need of a hot color!

Beautifully Voiced Man Problems

Guys! Guys have love problems, too. Some of these dudes want you to sing with them, heal their broken heart by staying with them or some will even go as far as to ask you to wear their American Apparel underwear. I don't know, but you can gander at these videos and see in full swing what emotions they're dealing with. Enjoy, friends. Don't forget to fangirl. I know you won't. Now I'm going to close my eyes and imagine Edward Cullen, the most caring man of all time, belt these babies out to me. Ugh. No need to remind me he's a fictional character. Dreams can happen and are possible...
