Happy Friday! Thought I would take today to let you know about a few things I am loving right now. My February favorites list and a great giveaway from Yaktrax.
Birthday parties
I know I always gush about my running group friends! We celebrated our 3rd birthday last weekend and it was so great to see how much we’ve grown. We celebrated with a run of course followed by breakfast. A few ladies brought their kids along too. It’s never too early to start mentoring the next generation of our group right?
Momentum Jewelry
I’ve been seeing these Momentum bracelets floating around for a few months now and I finally got my hands on one. I love the message! They have so many great mantras to choose from. I am excited to be part of the #ShareTheSpark campaign where I will be giving a few of these out to some friends who may need a little extra support or boost. Want one for yourself? You can use FFspark15 for 15% off.
Cara Cara oranges
These yummy oranges that are a cross between a grapefruit and an orange are one of my go to snacks lately. While waiting for all the sweet spring fruit to come out, I am loving these.
Yaktrax
Honestly I am hoping that we are done with the snow for this year! I did however, have so much fun using my Yaktrax during our snow storms last month. I was injured last year and didn’t have the chance to try them out. I felt like a little kid out there running in the snow. My friends over at Yaktrax donated a few pairs to our Moms Run This Town group and they are also generously giving me a pair to raffle off to one of you! I will be giving away a pair of the Yaktrax Run in the size of your choice. Even if the snow is done for this year, you will be set for next year. Enter Rafflecopter below.
What are your February favorites? Think you will be seeing anymore snow this winter?

02/26/2016 at 7:05 amMixed feelings, I love skiing and snow, but since that’s seems almost done for the year (despite the fact that I live in New Hampshire) then lets get the cold and ice over with and move on to a nice spring.
Deborah Brooks says
02/26/2016 at 7:58 amYes the cold and ice are much worse than the snow! I am ready for spring too. Thanks for stopping by today
meljo @ a year in running shoes says
02/26/2016 at 7:31 amI am hoping for Spring to make an appearance soon!! February s always a tough month for me… glad to see it on its way out!

02/26/2016 at 7:59 amFebruary is a tough month for sure. It’s usually the coldest time here and kind of dreary. Yes bring on spring
lacey@fairytalesandfitness.com says
02/26/2016 at 7:44 amI recently just bought my first momentum bracelet and I have been really liking it too. Those wraps are much softer than I thought they’d be. I would like to try those yak trax but I am hopeful we are done w the snow but I’m sure we will get one more storm in March. We always do.

Paria@momontherunsanity.com says
02/26/2016 at 9:21 amI love momentum wraps… I have a couple… I’m happy to say that I don’t need Yaktraks…although when I see everyone’s snow pics, it does make me want to try running in snow just a couple of times.

02/26/2016 at 10:11 amIt’s fun to run in the snow but I think I’d prefer your weather year round! The momentum wraps are so great!
Cayanne Marcus @healthyezsweet says
02/26/2016 at 10:44 amSitting here in sunny So Cal, I doubt I’ll be getting my hands on a snowball ha! But one of my favorites this February is Kiko cosmetics!! I saw a store recently at my mall and the lipsticks were like $5 and actually. stay. on. Unbelievable!

Jennifer @ Dashing in Style says
02/26/2016 at 12:08 pmI’m also hoping the snow is done for the year. I have my first race tomorrow and of course it’s snowing today. Luckily it doesn’t look like any accumulation though. And I love that you had a birthday party for your running group!
Deborah Brooks says
02/26/2016 at 4:57 pmWe love to have parties for our running group always so much fun!
Marla says
02/26/2016 at 12:11 pmI actually want some snow. We don’t see much in Alabama and it’s fun!
Deborah Brooks says
02/26/2016 at 4:58 pmIt can be lots of fun for sure! I don’t think there is too much hope for this year for you anymore is there?!
Marla says
02/26/2016 at 5:36 pmI doubt it but in Alabama, you never know. Fingers crossed!
RFC says
02/26/2016 at 12:36 pmI’m both elated and sad that I cannot enter this Yaktrax giveaway, for we have moved from snowy Vermont to sunny South Carolina. I miss the snow. I do not miss the cold, heh heh 😉 🙂

Cool giveaway…I wonder if I would feel brave enough to run in the snow in those….hmmmmm
Love my momentum bracelet! I need to get some more bands to change up the color for Spring!
Happy 3rd Bday!!
Deborah Brooks says
02/26/2016 at 5:06 pmOoh the oranges are so good they have them at my regular giant. You have to try them!!
Artney @ My Pretty Brown Fit says

02/27/2016 at 12:12 pmMore snow! I like running in the cold and the snow makes for pretty scenery.
Deborah Brooks says
02/27/2016 at 12:32 pmIt is really pretty to run in! I had lots of fun with the Yaktrax this winter. Thanks for entering

Hannah says
02/27/2016 at 2:31 pmI always wear trail shoes for running in the snow, but I need Yaktrax for this unseasonably warm weather where the trails keep melting and refreezing…so slick and nasty! Spring can stay away forever as far as I’m concerned, I am 100% a winter person.
Deborah Brooks says
02/28/2016 at 1:37 pmWow really?! You need a pair for sure then thanks for entering
Coco says

Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
02/27/2016 at 8:03 pmSeeing as though I live in Florida I highly doubt I’ll see snow or need to use a pair of Yaktrax! They do look like fun, however, hopefully I get to try them out one day.
I’m also a part of #ShareTheSPARK campaign and I LOVE the momentum bracelets! I’m eagerly awaiting mine in the mail! This might become a new addiction 🙂
This month I’m sort of obsessing over the color orange- I didn’t used to like it, but I got a pair of the Asics Gel FuzeX shoes and they are pink/orange/grey so I’m trying to find workout clothes to match! I don’t own many of the colors that are in the shoes. Hopefully Skirt comes out with some more orange stuff lol!

02/28/2016 at 12:07 pmI have a feeling we’ll have more snow, since we’ve lucked out with very little so far. I already have a pair of Yaktrax and they are great! Can’t say I used them yet this year, but I love having them as an option.
