The High Heel Wrap Review and Press Release


Today I would like to share a fun new product I was sent to try out and review. Before I begin I would like to let you know I was sent a Heel Wrap but that the thoughts in the review are all mine and my families. No one else!!


Now I am not one to wear Heels due to my Ankle being weak from Breaking it a couple times. But my sister would wear heels 24/7 if she could get away with it. So once I saw the "Press release" on the Heel Wrap I knew it would be something she would enjoy. 

So once it arrived I called and asked her to come over and bring a pair of her Heels as I did not have any. Debbie kept asking me why and I said I just want to see a pair. So my sister being my sister arrived with 3 different pairs because she couldn't decide what to bring.

Which was fine as it allowed us to try the wrap out on a couple different pairs of shoes. So once she came in and sat down I pulled up the Press Release for her to read. I did not let her know I had a pair of the wraps as I wanted to hear what she thought. 

Just as I thought she flipped for them and wanted to order some right away. So once I heard this I handed her a envelope with a pair in it. Debbie immediately opened up the package and looked them over. Once she was done looking at them she started to put one on her show. As soon as Charlie say what she was doing he came over to help Debbie out. 

I was not sure if he would be able to get the wrap on right and that we would have to take it off and it would not work the second time. But this did not happen as he got it on perfectly. Once it was Debbie modeled that shoe. But Charlie wasn't sastified he wanted to see the wrap on all three shoes. So she took turns taking the wrap off and on on other shoes. Which it went on nicely. It did not come off at all. 

So on Sunday Debbie decided to wear it to Church to show the ladies as Church as they are always buying new shoes. Once she showed them the Heel Wrap and how it worked all of them asked for the website. So they could order some of the wraps for themselves. 

Debbie said that the husbands was excited to see the wraps as it would save them money on shoe purchases.  As the wives can switch them out and have a new pair of shoes each week. The only thing they asked that I could not answer was would they be coming out with more Heel Wraps.  Which I hope they do soon as I want to order a lot more for people for Christmas. 

I asked Debbie what she thought about them having a strap you can use or take off and she says she likes that a lot as it gives her more options when wearing it and makes it look like she has more shoes than she really does. 

As someone that always messes up the Heels on her Heels when I used to wear them I was excited to see these come with a Heel Wrap as it will help keep my shoes looking new at all times. 

Having multiple cushions is also a plus because if a shoe hurts your foot and you use these it would make it more comfortable. Plus the shoes may not slip like some Heels I have purchased in the past.

So for my family and friends the Heel Wrap is a huge success and something we will be purchasing again and again!!!



A chic new wardrobe just for your shoes
December 2014, Tucson)…A dream come true is exactly how Angelica Alas explains the revelation of how The High Heel Wrap came to be. A working mom, with a toddler at home, and many sleepless nights, Angelica yearned for a little R & R, so when a friend suggested a much needed getaway at a local retreat; little did she know that a divine dream would become her true calling. “I can't remember what I dreamt about, but I knew it was something cool that didn’t exist. My husband advised me to write my dreams down the next time they came to me so I did", said Alas. A couple of nights later Angelica woke around 3AM and said to herself “I GOT IT!” Unable to contain her excitement  she scrambled through her closet looking for a shirt with the right material. She stayed up all night sewing and piecing together her first prototype. Spiritual in her ways, Angelica believes in taking a leap of faith, following your dreams, listening to your heart, and with the help from the man above; nothing is impossible! This is the incredible true story of how the first High Heel Wrap came into existence.

Original Sprout

As a mom of a little one I am always looking for products that I can use that will not harm my son in any way. You see Suzzane was so sensitive to everything that when I had Charlie I was so afraid he would be the same way only he is not. This is great but it means that he can use any products on the market and because of this people will just buy what ever for him and I do not like that. As some of the items that have gotten for him in the past has had harmful side effects they say. So when I was online and found this new site called Original Sprout I knew it would be something I would like to try out. So I contacted them and they allowed me to review some of there products and now that I have had the chance to try them out I am hooked. I love everything they sent me. I have even found more items I plan on trying out in the future. As they offer a line of products for teens and with me buying items for Leslie a lot of the time I would like for her to try these out and see if she likes them as they would be better than the products she uses right now. Knowing they offer Gift Certificates in a plus as well. Plus I like that they have a travel size line as that would be just the right sizes for Leslie to take with her when she goes to camp.  The Holiday Pack is something I would like to find under my tree as I used the products on myself and I can tell you my hair felt so much better and it did not tangle as easily. I am thinking I may ask Santa to get me some for Christmas and if he does not then I could ask David to get me some for Valentines as it would make a nice Valentines Gift as well. The products I was able to try out are below and if you do not find ones on here you would like to try Please check out there site as they have many many more and I am sure even the men if your life would find some to use.

I let my friend Shannan try this out on Baby J as she has sensitive skin and it did not bother her at all. Shannan said she liked the way it made Baby J's skin feel. She also liked that it had no added fragrance to it. I can tell you I would purchase this as a Gift for Baby J. I also let Charlie use it on his arms and I could tell that it made them smother. David also tried it as his hands had cracked from work and he says it did make a difference. I then used it on my hands and I could tell that it made them smother as well. I will be buying more of this.

Now that you have seen the pictures of the items from Mogo I would like to share my thought with you.

As a step mom of a teen I Love to find new and different products I can give her and her friends as gifts. So when I saw this site I knew that when she was younger she would have loved the products and so I decided to take a look. I thought at first they might have been to young for her but when I found the sports charms I knew they where not. So one day when I invited her over we got on the site and I showed them to her and she said wow I would like a soccer one so I knew I had a Christmas gift. I also knew if she liked it my niece would as well. So I am going to get Alex the teen collection and Leslie the sports and since they live together they can share the charms with each other. I Love that they even offer sets. I was sent a set of charms, and a pair of sunglasses which Charlie quickly took over. So I knew if Charlie liked the sunglasses the girls in the apartment complex would as well. I took bracelet and charms down to the office to show Rachel and the apartment manager as I knew both of there girls would love Mogo and they Loved them and will be purchasing them for Christmas to go into there stocking. But I told them not to as I think I may purchase them for the girls I am inviting to Charlies birthday to go in the goodybags as they would make nice gifts for them. I also think Mogo would make a nice fundraiser if they offered them that way. When you visit the site sign up for there newsletter and you will get a coupon for $5 off. plus they have a charm of the week. This weeks is a black cat. If you would like to see them before you purchase them they are in some retail stores and you can see which ones when you are on the site. They even offer a mood matcher that helps match you up with charms. I had fun seeing which ones they thought I would like. If you have not checked out Mogo's website Please do.
