I swear I’m not a soft touch for Instagram advertising! But dang it, Constantly Varied Gear FINALLY got me. This post is unsponsored. I purchased my Constantly Varied Gear items with my own money and have not been in contact with the brand in advance of publication. All experiences and opinions are my own. WHAT IS CONSTANTLY VARIED GEAR?...

I would call the Sprints Sling It bag a hidden gem, but I don’t think it’s particularly hidden. You’ve probably already heard about the no-bounce cross-body running bag. And if you’re a regular around this here blog, you also know I abhor running leggings and shorts with no side pockets, and refuse to purchase any gear that lacks this...

I’m not normally the kinda gal who goes run streaking. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not against run streaking. I can see the appeal of setting and pursuing that kind of goal. It’s just not a me thing. I prefer more flexibility in my training schedule and overall life schedule. There is, however, one time a year where I...

Social media advertisements eventually get us all. I don’t think that’s inherently a bad thing, but I do think it’s a good idea to do a little research before you make your purchase. To that end, let me tell you about my experience with athletic wear brand Silverwind. This post is unsponsored. I purchased my Silverwind workout set with...

The scientific community is, shall we say, undecided on the efficacy of kinesio tape. Here’s an NIH study whose conclusion could be charitably described as “I dunno, guys… maybe?” at best. Under normal circumstances I stand with science. Vax me up, baby! Wear a mask if you’re sick! Homeopathic medicine? No thanks! Yet in this case, if loving kinesio...

And I’m back! I first joined Sparkle Athletic’s Sparkle Squad in 2020, and while I felt the program had merit I’ve skipped the last couple of years. Yet here I stand confessing that for 2024 they convinced me to splurge again – not necessarily because of the Squad perks themselves, but because the limited edition skirt and visor print...

I’ve seen cheap workout clothes in CVS before – but honest-to-goodness athleisure is a new one for me! Prepared to be shocked, but I’m going to start out with this disclaimer: CVS is not sponsoring this post. The only (chafe-able) skin in this game is mine. That being said, I kinda love CVS? Like, okay, it’s a giant corporation...

I’m not sure how I managed to corner the kinesio tape market, but by far my most popular post of all time is my review of KT Tape Pro Extreme. Why? Surely bigger bloggers are covering this topic. Maybe they all made videos about it. I hate videos too. đŸ˜‚ Thus the people have spoken re: what content they...

Pretty self-explanatory per the title, no? In advance of Amazon Prime Day on July 12 and 13, I’m sharing some of my favorite products for runners that can be purchased through Amazon. Now, I don’t know what’s going to be discounted in advance, but as I understand it the odds are pretty good for most things. Prepare to be...

As threatened promised, I bring you a running water bottle review! I used to use a $5 Mickey Mouse water bottle on my runs, which was just barely the right size and shape to be tenable. Unfortunately I fell on the boardwalk again a couple weeks ago (I KNOW! I’m being more careful, I promise!), and while I was...
