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. 😂 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...

Second, become overwhelmed by the very idea of cleaning up said mess and go do something else, ideally in a different room where you can pretend Step 1 never happened.. There is no Step 3. No,...

Remember Headphone Emergency I, where my designated running headphones broke at a most inopportune time? I had a long run planned while away from home, and wound up scrambling to Target for some emergency JLab FitSport headphones. They worked great and all was well. Until it wasn’t – the third-ever time I went to charge my new headphones, they…...

I have good news and bad news, guys. Bad news first: I lost my Under Armour Sportsmask. The good news is that this gives me the perfect opportunity to review the next generation model, the Sportsmask Featherweight. Extra good news: Pat wound up getting his own, 1.0 Sportsmask, which means I still have the OG version to compare it...

I’m decidedly NOT a team sports person, but I’m not against joining a team of running individuals, especially if they offer discounts. Did I join Sparkle Squad for the camaraderie or the discounts? Trick question! I joined it for the visor! And the blog post, of course. Anything for a blog post. WHAT IS SPARKLE SQUAD? Right, so, Sparkle...

This is not a review of Colourpop Disney cosmetics so much as it is, shall we say, a revue of them. I show them to you so that we might ooh and ah at their splendor. I’ll offer my thoughts, of course, but I’m a mere makeup tyro. In it for some pretty colors, fun names, and SUPER cute...
