My Current Obsession: Ringly

Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored by Ringly. I paid for this with my own money and all opinions are my own. I just want the rest of you to drink the kool-aid.

 

 

I don't remember where I first heard about Ringly, but I'm glad that I did. As a new mom, especially with having Teacup Human in daycare, I am constantly checking my phone. Is she sick? Do they need me to come pick her up and I missed their call? Was that my phone that vibrated or was is the my coworker's phone? You get the idea.

 

Enter Ringly. This piece of smart technology is a Heaven sent. Accordingly to Ringly this technology is "smart jewelry that keeps you active, mindful, and in the moment.?" Not only does it come in a variety of styles, but it's cute! Don't get me wrong, FitBit has come a long way in cute technology wear, but it's still steps behind Ringly.

 

Ringly comes in three forms: Ringly Luxe Smart Bracelet (six styles), Ringly Luxe Smart Ring (six styles), and Ringly Go (two styles).

Originally I had wanted a ring, and part of  me still does, but unfortunately the only styles that were available in the size I wanted were gold. Nothing against gold jewelry, but I'm not a fan. So I waited and waited for the silver rings to come back in stock in my size.?

 

This did not happen. However, in the mist of my waiting they released their Ringly Go bracelets. Ringly Go comes in two colors: Black/Black and White/Blush.

 

Beautiful. Simple.

I snatched up the White/Blush option and I love it. It arrived quickly, about two days, and I was able setup my alerts while the bracelet charged.

 

The app, available for both iOS and Android, is where you set everything up. I only have mine setup for texts and phone calls, but they support a crazy amount of apps. There are four different vibrations and five color options (six if you count no color), so the possibilities are almost endless.?

 

I set mine up so a text buzzes twice and a phone call buzzes four times, but neither flash a color. One of my favorite features is the ability to set up certain contacts to flash an additional color. My husband flashes green, my family blue, daycare purple, and some VIP friends red. This is especially helpful when I'm in a meeting, out to lunch, talking with friends, etc.

 

I was in a meeting the other day and my phone buzzed twice, but there was no color so I just left my phone in my pocket. No worries. Turns out it was a Redbox code and how professional would I have looked peaking at my phone for a free DVD code? (No offense, Redbox!) Another day I was out to lunch with coworker and my phone buzzed four times and flashed purple. Teacup Human was in need, so I pulled my phone from my pursue and answered.

 

?

Ringly also comes with two additional features: Stay Active and Stay Mindful. Stay Active tracks your steps, the distance you have traveled, as well as calories burned. That last bit of information is enhanced if you enter your height and weight under settings. If you have an iPhone you can also connect it to your Health app for more accurate information.

 

Stay Mindful is a new feature that walks you through guided meditation and breathing exercise. I myself have used the "Mid-Day Recess" quite a bit. These meditations are great ways to just distress in the middle of the workday and remind yourself to just breath.

 

The battery only lasts about two days, maybe less if you have more notifications, which is considerably less than other pieces of wearable technology but doesn't bother me in the slightest. I charge my phone every night so I just plug my Ringly in at the same time.

I'm not sure what the range is, maybe 30-ish feet, but you can setup an "Out of Range Alert" so if you move too far from your phone, it will buzz seven times. There is also a "Low Battery Alert" and "Sleep Mode" (if your Ringly isn't moving, it goes into sleep mode to conserve battery).

 

Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with Ringly. They have designed cute wearable tech and if you're the kind of person who loves to accessorize, you can link multiple devices with your app. Maybe you're feeling the ring one day, but the bracelet the next.

 

And lucky for you, I happen to have the ability to give you 10% off! Just click the following link, sign up, and receive 10% off your first purchase: http://fbuy.me/fKpmn. Trust me, you won't be sorry!

 

Mishibox - March Box Review | Korean Beauty Subscription Box

Today, I am back with yet another Mishibox review! I got the March box a while back, but didn't get a chance to post about it before.  Here's a look at the products that were included in March!

MSHIBOX is a brand new monthly beauty subscription box that delivers hand-picked, top-quality Korean beauty products straight to your door! Every (adorable) box comes with a combination of 4-6 sample-size and full-size products. It can be anything from skincare to makeup and all the amazing things in-between. 

The cost of this monthly subscription box is simply unbeatable - $19.95!!! And, amazingly, you can choose to subscribe for the entire year (and save $12), or buy one box at a time. And they now offer FREE world wide shipping. 

I would highly recommend giving this awesome subscription box a try. The products you get are pretty high-end and very popular in Asia, plus you won't be able to get some of them anywhere else in the USA or Canada. 

MISHIBOX folks also opened up an online store where you can buy any of the products previously included in the box. Personally, I love that option, as I love one of the products included in the past boxes (The Ceramizing Cream from Skin Watchers) and was super happy that I was able to order a second batch of it!

What's in the box?!

* Featured in this photo are two more products that weren't included in the box, but which I bough on the Mishibox website in addition to the box (The Aloe skin toner, Ceramizing Cream), Blueberry mask, Skymilk and two cream samples were included as a bonus.

The June 2015 box included:

?  Enzyme Powder Wash from @skin_watchers_shop
 | full size

        My thoughts: I really like using it. It's something I've never used before and it took a couple of times to get used to it, but I love the deep clean and almost scrub-feeling it offers. It leaves my face feeling very fresh and clean. It's a product I would buy again for sure!

?  Graymelin Foot butter | full size

     My thoughts: Living in high desert can take its toll on your skin, especially your feet and elbows, so this was just the perfect product for me. I actually ordered one of those from the Mishibox store, not knowing it would be included in the box, but no regrets there. It's a thick cream that moisturizes amazingly and smells divinely (like butterscotch candy). I definitely recommend it!

?  Fascy Moisture Bomb Hand Cream | full size

     My thoughts: I don't use hand cream very often, as I work on my computer a lot and just don't like the greasy feeling of them, so I haven't been using this one a whole lot, but it smells really nice and seems to moisturize well. If you're into hand creams, I think this line might be worth giving a try!

?  Monthly New Feet socks pack | full size

     My thoughts: Haven't used it yet, but I love the concept! These are socks that you sleep in, that exfoliate and regenerate your skin. I am waiting for some colder days to try these out, but they sound awesome!

?  Pure Green Tea Whitening Mask | full size

     My thoughts: I love Korean sheet masks. That is all. 

?  Package Melt Me Softly Blackheads Nose Pack

     My thoughts: Haven't used this one yet, either, but from my experience, all the products designed to help remove the black heads are wonderful. I've tried a couple of them, and while I don't have blackheads myself, they do help clear your skin a lot and exfoliate any sort of gunky stuff that might be hiding in your pores.
