    GEARing Up for 2013 – Sweaty Bands

    I.love.Sweatybands. Seriously, I can’t begin to tell you how much… but I’m going to have to try. I have a love affair with accessories of all kinds. Jewelry, purses, shoes, headbands… They are so versatile and fun. You can spice up any outfit by just changing out the accessories. What is better than that? How about an accessory that is also actually useful? Best thing ever. I had been seeing these headbands around for awhile and was jealous of them. When I saw that Big River Running carried SweatyBands I knew I had to try one. Honestly, I was kind of skeptical. I had tried all the drug store brand…

    Personal Creations Review

    A few months back I was contacted by the company that runs the Red Envelope Brands family of sites. I had the opportunity to review Shari’s Berries and Red Envelope, and most recently they asked me to try out another one of their sites: Personal Creations. I am always excited to try out new online shopping sites. I love the online shopping experience and Personal Creations is no exception. I spent a good amount of time just browsing the site, there is so much to choose from! They have gifts for every occasion. Of course, with the holidays coming up I was looking for presents! After browsing I decided I would…

    pvBody review

    Guys. I have something seriously amazing to share with you. Ok, so you know how those subscription boxes are all the rage right now? I have had a few of them and realized that it is super cool to get stuff in the mail… but what ends up happening is that I have a stockpile of samples of stuff that I forget to use. So, what’s even better? Getting a super cool package in the mail of stuff that you will actually use! Like… Workout Clothes! I am unashamedly addicted to buying workout clothes. Shorts, tees, tanks, capris, tights… you name it, I’ve got it. And I just can’t seem…

    Therafit Shoes Review and Giveaway

    A few weeks ago I received a beautiful package from my friends at Therafit Shoes. Inside the package was my pair of Pink Deborah Shoes. Therafit shoes were created by Dr Lisa from the TV show the Doctors… you know, the one with Travis from the Bachelor? Right. That one. I’m always on the search for a good pair of shoes. My activities vary from day to day, so having a pair of shoes that can adapt to my active, on the go lifestyle is necessary. I ordered these in an 8.5, which is my regular size in most shoes. They were a little tighter than other shoes, but still fit…

    Under Armour Spine RPM Review

    When I used to think of Under Armour I would think of those skin tight shirts the football players wear under their uniforms. More recently the UA Hoodies became crazy popular. I knew they had workout clothing, I just never thought about them having shoes. I was contacted by Under Armour asking if I’d be interested in reviewing one of their products and immediately the shoes stuck out to me, I mean, How could they not? They are hot pink and teal – the best color combo out there! Check out the Under Armour Spine RPM Running Shoes I was so excited when they arrived at my house, something about…

    DietBet: Lose Weight, Earn Cash!

    Yesterday I told you guys that I was gearing up for a Holiday Weight loss challenge, and I want to give you all the details since we’ll be starting it next week! Why? This time of year it is so easy to get caught up in the holidays and put off your health and fitness goals until your New Years Resolutions. What happens is we end up gaining weight through the holiday season and spending the first few months of the year trying to lose that weight just to get back to where we were before the holidays. It is totally possible to survive the holidays without packing on the…
