February Favorites & Yaktrax Giveaway

02/26/2016 by Deborah Brooks

February favorites|yaktrax|giveaway

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

Momentum jewelry|share the spark campaign|February favorites

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.

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.

Meet Deborah

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    Mixed 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 am

      Yes the cold and ice are much worse than the snow! I am ready for spring too. Thanks for stopping by today

    I 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.

    I 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.

    Sitting 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!

    I’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 pm

      We love to have parties for our running group always so much fun!

    I actually want some snow. We don’t see much in Alabama and it’s fun!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 4:58 pm

      It 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 pm

    I’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 😉 🙂

    I 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.

    Seeing 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!
