My favorite Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino has joined forces with adidas Originals to launch Donald Glover Presents, which includes a capsule of footwear and a series of short films. Originally revealing the partnership last September, the one known as Childish Gambino has worked closely with the lifestyle brand to create tone-on-tone iterations of three classics – the Nizza, Continental 80, and the Lacombe. Each of the three models feature subtle imperfections such as frayed edges and wayward threads, all in an effort to exemplify the worn-in aesthetic and the stories behind the miles walked in a used pair of shoes. Additionally, the shoes featured deconstructed features, painted-on logos, and gold eye-stays, while the moth logo appears on the insoles and heels to officially stamp this collaboration.

Along with the shoes, Donald Glover Presents includes a series of short films produced by Royalty that also feature comedian Mo’Nique, a cameo from professional skateboarder Na-Kel Smith, and more.

All three styles will officially release on adidas.com beginning on April 26th.

Prices

Continental 80 ($100)3am EST

Lacombe ($90)3am EST

Meet the newest member of the Budweiser Reserve Collection…DISCOVERY RESERVE! Today Budweiser unveiled its new Discovery Reserve American Red Lager, a limited-edition beer brewed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing and the determination of the American spirit. Inspired by an archival Budweiser recipe from the time of the Apollo Moon missions, Discovery Reserve is brewed with medium-roast Voyager barley malt and features a light hoppy aroma, a toasted barley malt taste with a hint of toffee and a sharp finish. Discovery Reserve is brewed by Karissa Norrington, a Budweiser brewmaster and retired U.S. Air Force Captain. In addition, to continue Budweiser’s 100+ years of support for U.S. troops, $1 from every case purchased will be donated to the Folds of Honor to help military family members get the education they need to make their own.

The Intown Salt Room offers two unique salt room experiences -- a Breathing Room and Meditation Room and on Friday April 5th I had a chance to experience both.

Dry salt is a natural healer and creates a sense of calmness. Breathing in a dry salt room can cleanse your airways and allow you to take in more oxygen for a deeper breath. In addition to respiratory benefits, dry salt can have a positive effect on skin and be naturally calming to help relieve stress, anxiety and fatigue. Since it's peak pollen season this is very beneficial.

The meditation room combines Himalayan salt with sound therapy to help you relax -- it comes equipped with a zero gravity Wave Loungers built with Acoustic Resonance Technology that provides a whole body sensory experience. I never fell asleep in a mediation session before it was that calming and relaxing. I will definitely be back soon. You should check them out its perfect for a self-care day or anytime you want to disconnect and recharge.

The city of Memphis served as the muse for Levi’s and Justin Timberlake’s latest duet. The Memphis-native teamed with the Levi’s for a second “Fresh Leaves” collaboration of men’s jeans, tops and denim jackets inspired by the city that introduced the iconic sound and style of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes.

Timberlake and Levi’s launched their first collaboration last fall, following a merchandise partnership for the artist’s album, Man of the Woods.

“Memphis and music have always been a big part of me,” Timberlake said in a statement. “And it became a huge part of this collection, just going back to the places and things I loved here as a kid.”

Today I had the opportunity to get a Foot Detox at Heal Thyself Atlanta that was administered by the owner Lala Huseynova. This was the perfect way to start off April, I'm determined to do better by my body and I learned a lot today. Below is the full run down about my experience.

What is a foot detox? A foot bath that remove toxins from your body right through your feet. At Heal Thyself Atlanta services start at $35

What are the benefits? Since the feet are rich with nerve endings and sweat glands, its the ideal place in the body to detox and de-stress. By doing a foot detox here are a few of the benefits you will feel.

Purging of heavy metals
A more balanced pH level
Reducing inflammation
Purging of yeast
Detoxifying the liver
Internal cleansing with full-body purge
Liver, kidney, and parasite cleansing
Enhancing the immune system

The results and how it works:

Before with water, spanish sea salt, and array (the metal device)

The ions in the foot bath water hold a charge that enables them bind to any heavy metals and toxins in your body, similar to how a magnet works.

After about 20 mins of my feet soaking -- the white bubbles started to form then Lala informed me that my lymphatic system needed some attention meaning I needed more movement like Yoga, Jump roping or walking. After the detox was over I felt very relaxed and my feet were super soft. It was amazing to see how many toxins were removed.
