FALKE ERGONOMIC SPORT SYSTEM RUNNING

THE RUNNING SOCKS

Individual sports like running are becoming more and more popular, especially in times like these. The different surfaces and different environmental factors influence the athlete's performance. In order to protect and support the body and especially the feet of the runner, FALKE offers a wide range of products that perfectly combine functionality and design. All FALKE running socks combine optimal moisture management, thanks to a special mix of materials, with a perfect fit and anatomical padding.

NEW! FALKE TRAIL RUNNING

When trail running, the runner moves away from the developed paths, which results in special requirements. In order to guarantee the athlete ideal protection here too, the new FALKE RU Trail offers functions specially tailored to trail running. The increased risk of twisting due to the uneven surfaces is reduced by a special compression zone in the ankle area that acts like a bandage. The tight fit in the foot area also ensures that the stocking does not slip and offers maximum support. Optimal protection inside and outside the shoe is guaranteed by a medium-thick padding. The quick-drying combination of materials keeps your feet dry, even if moisture penetrates from the outside.

FALKE PERFORMANCE APPAREL

The FALKE Performance Apparel collection also impresses with the selection of innovative materials and the special cut. Circular knitted T-shirts and tops made of high-quality polyamide yarns guarantee optimal wearing comfort and maximum freedom of movement thanks to their precisely fitting functional zones. The tops, tights and shorts are particularly skin-friendly, quick-drying and odorless, with optimal temperature and moisture regulation.

Summer Love with Dosenbach

Finally days are getting longer again and the sky is blue. The trees full of blossoms and the warm rays of the sun are slowly getting us into the mood for the beginning of the summer days. What a wonderful feeling to walk barefoot in a meadow for the first time and to combine light summer shoes with our favorite dresses.

We like it best this summer in natural colors like beige, brown and green. Espadrilles made of leather, wedge heels with raffia details, suede look or in boho chic with lacing, a wonderful change for our outfits after the long winter!

And so that the summer look is complete, we also exchange our heavy handbags from the winter season for light and playful raffia baskets and shoulder bags with fine leather details.

 A new season is dawning. With a range of novelties and classics, the sisters inspire to create an atmosphere for "hygge" in the open air. There are decorative baskets and boxes, outdoor lighting and lanterns as well as tools and dishes for an atmospheric outdoor table to discover.

The new selection of garden items and tableware brings a feeling of "hygge" into the warm summer evenings. The atmospheric novelties enchant both indoor and outdoor spaces in oases of wellbeing, depending on the weather mood. The new range includes outdoor lighting, decorative baskets, practical boxes and the sisters' popular LED lamp in a new design.

The beautiful, practical baskets are used to put things together again in the evening, to store them well and to bring them into the house. When the evenings get lighter and the temperatures warmer, the sisters like to move the dining area outside. The food is prepared outdoor and the picnic is enjoyed in the open air. Included are the fine stoneware from Anna and Clara and many useful utensils for the barbecue season. In addition, the sisters are introducing a number of new products, all of which are wonderfully suited to set a wonderful outdoor atmosphere.

Getting ready for Summer with Collistar

Summer is coming! This is definetely a good news as I love Summer, but that also means getting my body in shape for Summer dresses and crop tops! Collistar and its "Special Perfect body" products are coming to my rescue to get a Summer Body! First of all I would like to say that products can definetely help but in order to achieve my goal I am also taking regular runs outdoor and try to stay as active as I can in general. There are so many ways of exercis nowadays, if you don't have time for a full session at the gym simply try to walk more. Your lunch break or even journey home could be good oppurtunities to squeeze in a walk. It really all counts at the end of the day.

Back to the products that can help us get that Summer Body, I have picked three that I really think make a great difference on my body: Collistar Firming Talasso Scrub, Collistar Anti-Cellulite Draining Gel Mud and Collistar Anticellulite Slimming Superconcentrate Night.

It is really important to exfoliate your skin once / twice a week to smooth it out and prepare it for next treatments. I use Collistar Firming Talasso scrub with detoxifing salts, essential oils and cherry extract. It really feels as good as a SPA treatment! It combines the benefits of thalassotherapy with the properties of cherry, an Italian fruit rich in superb active ingredients. The scrub smoothes and renews skin's surface while also toning, firming and revitalizing skin. It moisturizes and nourishes skin while also regenerating and giving an immediate sensation of wellbeing. The blend of sea salts, red salt and powdered cherry stone smooths and purifies skin while getting rid of impurities. Skin is silky smooth with a fresh and deliscious scent.

Use the firming, slimming  treatment every day according to your needs! This is the second step in my routine and Collistar Anti-Cellulite Draining Gel-Mud is the right choice for me, with Slim-Drone Technology I can use it daikly without rinse. It combines the benefits of an anticellulite mud with the extraordinary efficacy of Slim-Drone Technology. This is a futuristic active ingredient that just like a drone, heads straight to its target, striking at the heart of adipose cells. It has a gel-mud no-rinse texture that is instantly absorbed. Thanks to futuristic Cosmetic Drone Technology, Slim-Drone encapsulates and releases a powerful lipolytic active ingredient Coccoloba Uvifera extract - straight inside the adipose cells.  The white mud traps and removes excess fluids and toxins, this stimulates the microcirculation, thereby helping drain interstitial liquids.

Complete your treatment routine with the anti-cellulite product tailored for you. I am using Collistar Anticellulite Slimming Superconcentrate Night. Fighting unsightly cellulite and reshaping the body at night while you sleep. The Collistar Research department has created the first night-time anticellulite treatment - a special and innovative product with a dual effect: slimming and fighting cellulite. This ambitious aim has been achieved thanks to a unique complex of three revolutionary active ingredients - the exclusive Cell-Nocturne System that takes advantage of the nocturnal biorhythms of skin tissue and follows a precise and specific strategy of action during the hours when the skin is most receptive to treatment.

The results will come but of course you need to be consistent and use the products daily / weekly to see a real difference on your body. Time to invest on yourself and your Summer body!
