5 Running Must Haves

I bought a few fun new things for when I run and I want to share what I think are the 5 must haves for a great running experience. 1. “Fanny pack.”  When I go running I bring my cell phone to listen to music and to keep track of my mileage and time.  However, since I was carrying it in my hand, I’m always afraid that I’m going to drop it when I’m running outside.  I thought that I could find a smart watch or fitness tracker to wear instead of carrying my cell.  After a lot of hours …

Nighttime Skin Care Routine

What I’m doing: I change my workout routine to keep it interesting, and also based on the season.  Back in August I got back to running.  I tend to only run when I can do it outside because the treadmill is SO boring for me.  With daylight savings time over, it’s pretty much dark all the freakin time.  I don’t like to run in the dark.  That means …

5 Healthy and Easy Snacks

Lately I’ve been trying to focus on eating healthier. For me that means I eat smaller meals and snacks throughout the day.  I’m always looking for healthy snack ideas so I thought you might like to see what my favorites have been lately. Here are 5 healthy and easy snack ideas: Peanut Butter Sandwich. I don’t think that I can get tired of peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread.  In an attempt to reduce the sugar, I’ve recently tried Nature’s Promise Organic No-Stir Crunchy Peanut Butter Spread.  I can’t find a link for it online because it’s …
