Reebok Unveils New Design For Astronauts: Floatride Space Boot SB-01

Reebok has gone out of this world, as the label is partnering with David Clark Company on an innovative shoe design made for astronauts called the Floatride Space Boot SB-01.

According to Hypebeast, Reebok is currently undergoing tests by astronauts, as this will be the first space boot innovation design in over 50 years. The creation is not only to provide modern style, but it’s purpose is to help alleviate complications of heavy footwear by utilizing  ‘Floatride Foam Technology’ , as well as “accompany the space suit” to transport astronauts back and forth at the International Space Station’s Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner.

 

Reebok’s Director of Development says, “Reebok Floatride Foam introduced three revolutionary elements to the space boot; it decreased the overall weight significantly, brought the added support you’d expect in a running shoe, and delivered a new level of sleekness & style.”

Whether your planning a trip to outer space or not, would you rock a pair of these bad boys?

Beauty Crush Wednesday #BCW: Sanaa Lathan

After making her debut in the blockbuster hit The Best Man, and shooting her way into our hearts after appearing in urban romance classic, Love & Basketball, this week’s beauty crush has been on Hollywood’s radar ever since.  Award-winning actress Sanaa Lathan has racked up accolades with a résumé boasting everything from television to theater to film and even animation, showing her comedic side by voicing Donna Tubbs on The Cleveland Show.  Though she’s a busy one, the 45 year old always allots time to get glammed up for the red carpet, always emitting a youthful effervescence about her.
Since her early days on the Hollywood scene, Sanaa has been sporting a bold lip; an affinity that has stuck with her to this day.  From saucy reds to neon or pale pinks, she loves to keep things interesting without piling it on.

 


   Sanaa loves a “less is more” aesthetic when it comes to her makeup too.  Despite the lack of tinted lips at times, a good set of lashes with highlights in the the tear duct and a touch of blush is just enough.  Sanaa loves a good middle part.  And what woman doesn’t?  It’s timeless and doesn’t usually require more than fifteen minutes to curl, shake and spray.
  But she loves to kick things up a notch when it comes to her silky hair,  She’s been sporting top knots and up-dos as of late, bringing attention to her almond shaped eyes.
  Long, straight and cascading is good look for her too, wouldn’t you agree?
 Braids for the summer?  Check!  From a head full of curls to box braids on the red carpet, Sanaa has proven how versatile she can be with her hair, and how gorgeous natural hairstyles are in any setting.
  And yes, she’s just as gorgeous sans glam.  Flawless skin and healthy hair, according to her, can come as easy as drinking lots of water, using organic lotions and body oils, and Kim Kimble haircare products.
Here’s to this week’s beauty crush, Sanaa Lathan.  Hard-working, naturally beautiful, and effortlessly stylish are just some of the reasons we celebrate her.  Not to mention, her makeup should be the template for girls who are over the severely contoured look.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Sade from London

Today’s Bombshell is Sade (@S4de_u), a Nigerian fashionista from London.

She writes,“When asked to describe my style my answer is usually, “It’s what ever mood I wake up in or fell asleep in.” But the truth is my style is just confidence and fun…that’s it.”

“I do what ever the hell I want with clothes and simply rock it with sheer confidence without taking myself too seriously.” 
“I love clothes, style and fashion and I am therefore a complete hoe to it.. Im easily bored and hate same same so I am forever changing things up with different looks and styles. If I see a lot of people rocking what I have, it’s likely I’m gonna rip a sleeve off or do something to rock it differently.”
“I cannot really be boxed in one style type, though I tend to lean towards and love timeless classics and blacks I’m just as fanatical for fashion forward and unique pieces.”
“Honestly, I’m totally a walking contradiction when it comes to style. I go from Afro centric to preppy to classics to fashion forward from sartorial to street style.. and on and on. My style is just that ‘my style’ and is what ever I see, like and want to wear.. very much a big open box….of Sade styling tricks with a big dose of GodFidence.”

Simply amazing! Love how your breathtaking views compliments your style!

On TheBombLife.com: A Nassau, Bahamas Travel Guide; Where to Stay, Where to Eat, and What to Do!

So I just got back from a deliciously sunny, yet regrettably short stay in Nassau, Bahamas!

More than a tropical travel destination, Nassau is like another home for me, as my mother’s family is from there, and we have family who still lives there! When I go, it’s to relax, yes, but also to reconnect with my cousins, aunts, and uncles! That said, I do have a few travel tips for those who want to embark upon this beautiful island.
1. How to Get There

Jetblue has direct flights from JFK to Nassau that leave several times during the day. A few of my friends also took American Airlines and United. It’s a little under a 3 hour flight. I had zero complaints about Jetblue! Spring for the extra comfort seats, watch TV, and relax.

2. Where to Stay

Our troupe of bridesmaids was stationed at the British Colonial Hilton, which was not bad, but not great. As I mentioned in this post, I was looking for peace and quiet. Perhaps it was the weekend we chose, but the hotel was oversold. The pool and beach were small and crowded. Inside was fine, but nothing mind blowing. I’d definitely do some research if you’re looking for more of a Bomb Life experience! Many people I spoke to suggested staying at the Bahamar because it’s new and majestic.

On this trip, I discovered I’m more of a boutique hotel/AirBNB type chick. On one day, my cousins and I went to a semi private beach called Palm Cay that had a quieter beach and beautiful environs.

the-bomb-life-nassau-bahamas-travel-guide-where-to-stay-what-to-do-where-to-eat-9


We ran into a few new friends from D.C. and Indianapolis (!) who said they were renting a home nearby. I’d definitely go that route next time I come to Nassau.

I heard some chatter that the Bahamian Tourism Board and Government were coming down on AirBNB, but the women I spoke to said they were able to book their home with no issue. Definitely something to consider!

3. Where to Eat

I LOVE to eat and I LOVE Bahamian food. A few things you should order: Cracked Conch, Stew Conch, Conch Salad, Fried Fish, Crab & Rice, Guava Duff…and wash it all down with some Bahamas Goombay Punch!

A few cocktails you should definitely get: Goombay Smash ( spiced rum, coconut rum, apricot brandy, pineapple juice and orange juice) and Sky Juice (Coconut Water, Evaporated Milk, and Gin or Coconut Rum, topped with cinnamon).

Where to eat all these delicacies? On day one, we went to Compass Point (West Bay Street Gambier, W Bay St, Nassau 00000, Bahamas), which is a beautiful restaurant/resort by the water.

You should also definitely stop by Arawak Cay, an area chock full of yummy restaurants and food stands.

4. What to Do

The Bahamas is definitely a place where you chillax and enjoy life…
