When Fresh was approached by Sony Pictures Entertainment to create fragrances inspired by the film adaptation of Eat, Pray, Love, Lev Glazman, Fresh Co-founder and Fragrance Designer, was instantly intrigued.

EAT EAU DE PARFUM $32
EAT EAU DE PARFUM is a sweet effervescent scent inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert’s travels through Italy as told in her memoir Eat, Pray, Love.
This sweet, effervescent scent indulges in Italy’s most addictive desserts and sensual wines. Notes of bright Italian lemon and basil are balanced with creamy textures reminiscent of cannoli and tiramisu topped off with sparkling Prosecco and Limoncello for the ultimate gourmand experience.

PRAY EAU DE PARFUM $32
PRAY EAU DE PARFUM is a woodsy fragrance with undertones of exotic spices inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert’s travels through India as told in her memoir Eat, Pray, Love.
Inspired by India’s serene sunsets, fresh soil, and traces of incense and spices that permeate warm winds, this scent has great impact and ultimately puts you at peace with a comforting blend of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, amber, juniper berry, cardamom, and incense.

LOVE EAU DE PARFUM $32
LOVE EAU DE PARFUM is a sunny floral with tropical fruity undertones inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert’s travels through Bali as told in her memoir Eat, Pray, Love.
This fragrance bottles the bright, colorful, anything-is-possible feelings of falling in love. Scents of passion, like percolating pheromones, sun-caressed skin, and salty kisses, are combined with the lush aromas of Bali’s exotic landscape.

EAT PRAY LOVE CANDLE TRIO $45
Designed to be burned separately or together, different candle combinations allow you to create different moods throughout the home. Each is made with a special blend of waxes that preserves the fragrance from start to finish and a lead-free wick for a clean flame.
- EAT PETITE CANDLE: A sweet effervescent fragrance tempered with green and citrus undertones inspired by Italy’s most addictive desserts and sensual wines.
- PRAY PETITE CANDLE: A woodsy fragrance laced with exotic spices and silky undertones that embodies India’s serene sunsets and incense-laced warm winds.
- LOVE PETITE CANDLE: A sunny floral fragrance with tropical fruity undertones that captures the exotic landscape of Indonesia and the anything-is-possible feeling of falling in love.

I’m honored to be included in the “Top 10 Most Influential Mommy Blogs” list by Access Communications. While I don’t write exclusively for the “mom audience” (because I like to help everyone), I am a mom myself and my role as a mom inspired me to start this blog back on October 21, 2007. Over two years (and 4,000 posts) later I’m tickled pink that I’m reaching thousands of people daily and helping them get freebies (and save money too). I’m also a little overwhelmed now that my hobby has turned into a business, and I find it challenging to keep this new job of mine fun and balance it with my family’s schedule. I’m still blogging on a part-time basis and I’m still having fun. Thanks goes to all of my readers who are helping me, helping each other, and making this a fun place to share!

The Fall/Winter 2010 season marks the debut of Pediped Grip ‘n’ Go, a shoe specially designed for the active toddler. The Grip ‘n’ Go line is a bridge between the Pediped Originals and Flex lines. With this introduction, Pediped footwear now offers a complete footwear system for children from newborn through 6 years of age.
Pedipeds new collection has more than 70 new styles across Pediped footwear system’s three lines, Originals, Grip ‘n’ Go and Flex. With a range that includes 25 Originals styles, Four couture collection style offerings, 13 Grip ‘n’ Go styles and 39 Flex styles, parents have even more choices when it comes to finding the perfect pair of Pediped shoes for their child.
Originals – the best first shoe ever: Pediped Originals are the best first shoes for children and remain the best choice as children learn to walk. The soft flexible soles are recommended by pediatricians and podiatrists as they allow children to closely mimic barefoot walking.
The Originals Fall Winter line for girls features updates on classic styles, including Abigail purple and chocolate brown. Two adorable styles of faux fur boots are offered in the Giselle and Avery styles. PPediped uses sheepskin for the first time in the Isabella for girls and the Charlie for boys. The boy’s line also includes a variety of casual athletic styles like the Christopher and the Luke.
The Couture Collection was inspired by the American West with metallic cowboy boots and Mary Janes. The Originals collection will retail for $32 and is available for children 0-2 years. The Couture Collection styles will retail for $42.
Grip ‘n’ Go – the perfect shoe for the active toddler: Pediped Grip ‘n’ Go, are the perfect shoes for a toddler transitioning from early walking to walking with a more confident stride. Grip ‘n’ Go, are made with all the benefits of Originals but with thin, flexible rubber soles. The rounded edges mimic the natural shape of a child’s foot and the heel stability and soft toe box allow toddlers to feel and grip the floor. Grip ‘n’ Go is ideal for both indoor and outdoor wear.
The Grip ‘n’ Go Fall Winter line has classic Pediped styles like Alyssa, Giselle, Isabella and Jake. It also includes some exciting new styles like Ellie and Jamie. The Grip ‘n’ Go collection will retail for $44-$48 and is available for children 9 months to 3 years.
Flex - the ultimate shoe for confident walkers: Pediped Flex are the ultimate shoes for confident walkers who have developed a solid, natural stride.
The Fall Flex line has a fabulous array of boots for girls including the suede Elizabeth fashion boot, the red Carrie Cowboy boot and the Tonya riding boot. Fall also brings the expansion of athletic washable styles and ballet flats with Memory Foam Technology. Flex styles range in price from $34-$79 and are available in EU sizes 20-29 with select styles now offered in larger sizes going to EU 31.
All new styles in the Fall Winter collection will be available immediately with the exception of a few select boot styles will be available on August 15th.
A range of coordinating Pediped socks and hosiery, jewelry and hair clips by No Slippy Clippy are also offered to complete any and every fall and winter ensemble.
In addition to providing the perfect combination of style and comfort, all Pediped shoes are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for the promotion of healthy foot development. The Pediped footwear system has recently been endorsed by researches associated with Harvard Medical School and Children’s Hospital in Boston.
About Pediped:
Pediped footwear was launched in 2004 by Angela and Brian Edgeworth in their quest for the perfect soft-soled shoe for their first daughter. Exceptional quality, unsurpassed comfort and distinctive styling have made the award winning company the fastest-growing children’s footwear brand in the United States. Pediped footwear is sold in over 3000 stores in the United States and 40 countries worldwide with an offering of more than 120 designs for boys and girls between their three lines. Originals, Grip ‘n’ Go Flex. Originals (soft-soled shoes for newborns to age 2), Grip ‘n’ Go (thin rubber-soled shoes for children ages 9 months – 3 years) and Flex (rubber-soled shoes for children 1-6 years) are available in EU sizes ranging from 17 to 31.

I have been thrilled for my son to finally get to wear a pair of shoes by Pediped! He was sent the Adrian in White/Grey – Flex ($48). This pair of machine washable shoes
sells for $48. This style was a part of their spring line. Pediped shoes have flexible soles, are washable and have a memory foam.
This style came with a pair of DRYZ, a specially-formulated odor resistant insole that controls both moisture and temperature. A version of these insoles sell online for $15.99 but are included FREE in this pair – a great deal! We think every child needs Pediped footwear. If your child is in school, their shoes will be easier to keep clean, they will have maximum flexibility and support for their natural foot motion, and the additional insoles help to customize the fit. Who can go wrong in keeping their kids feet in exceptional quality, comfortable and stylish shoes. We’re so glad that my man was introduced to Pedipeds!
Machine Washable – These shoes are made with Clarino, a wash-and-wear fabric that’s virtually indestructible. Simply throw in the washing machine and air dry for perfectly clean shoes–how easy! That’s one of the main features I like about the shoes. We know it doesn’t take long for kids to get their shoes dirty. I needed those shoes when my son ran in the yard after a heavy rain.
Soft & Flexible – The shoe features exceptionally soft, flexible soles and uppers help to provide healthy foot development. Ultra flexible FLEX ZONES provide maximum flexibility and support natural foot motion.
Heel Cushion - The Shock absorbing cushions on each heel protect against impact and distribute pressure through-out the foot.
Flex Fit System – Pediped Flex offer a unique fit system. Each pair comes with an additional 2mm insole to customize the fit so it’s just right for each child. If the child starts with both insoles, as the child’s feet grow the additional insoles may be removed to extend the length of time the child can wear the shoes.
