Loving Lately December-Mizuno’s and more

12/08/2017 by Deborah Brooks

It’s been a while since I did a Loving Lately post and with the holiday season upon us, it’s seems the perfect time. In case you are still shopping for family and friends, perhaps some of my favorites will become yours. This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mizuno. The opinions and text are all mine.

Loving Lately December – Mizuno’s and More

Loving Lately December

Mizuno Wave Rider 21

Sometimes a pair of new shoes arrives just when they are needed most! I have been a fan of Mizuno’s for long time trying different models over the years. As soon as my foot landed into the Mizuno Wave Rider 21, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of cushioning I felt especially in the heel area. The air mesh ventilates to keep you feet cool and dry while running. A neutral shoe, the Wave Rider 21 would be appropriate for a new runner or seasoned athlete alike. I am looking forward to logging some chilly winter miles with these Wave Rider 21’s over the next few months!

Uggs Fleece Lined Socks

Loving Lately December

(retail $49.50) at  Nordstrom 

Plush fleece on the inside with a fun cable knit design on the outside. Topped off with cute little pom poms. These socks are the perfect winter weekend accessory. Pop them on, grab a warm mug of coffee and relax.

Skirt Sports Convertible Mitts

Loving Lately December

These bright pink babies are a two in one glove/mitten combination. Chilly at the start? Wear the mittens flap on top of the fingers until you warm up. Easily converts back to gloves mid run. I have bought a few pairs to give out to friends this holiday season. Find yours on Skirt Sports and use my 20% discount code: FALL20WIN

Myobuddy Massager

I have been using my Myobuddy non stop the past few weeks on my sore calves and shins. It might look like a car polisher but this massager does wonders!

Seasonal Wreath Subscription

My kids gave me a subscription to 4 seasonal wreaths for my birthday last month. I had never heard of these before! The wreaths are made from fresh flowers, dried plants and fruits/nuts. They smell absolutely amazing and the aroma wafts around our home. It is recommended to keep them inside so they are not damaged by the elements. I just received my second wreath that has some dried oranges on it. I love it! It makes a great gift for that person you have no idea what to get for the holidays. Find them on Food 52.

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.

    I have heard so many good things about the Mizunos! Im nervous to try anything other than Brooks because I tend to get blisters or have issues. I love the idea of that massager, I just wish it wasn’t so expensive!

    I’ve seen a lot of reviews on the Mizunos. I tried on a pair in the summer, but went with my New Balance shoes. I’ve had shoe issues in the past, and need to stick with what I know works.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2017 at 9:45 pm

      Yes everyone has different shoe needs and feet!

    I would like a pair of those convertible mittens. I have a pair now but they are bulky. These pinks ones look slimmer! -M

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2017 at 9:57 pm

      They are definitely not bulky at all-give them a try. They have a great return policy if you do not like them

    I have seen those massagers at expos and they feel great but they are so darn expensive. I love the gloves that can be converted into mittens.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/09/2017 at 7:08 pm

      They are pricey and I was lucky enough to get one to test out. The gloves I highly recommend!

  22. Coco says

    12/08/2017 at 11:37 pm

    That wreath subscription is a great idea! Darn, those socks are sold out at Nordstrom. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them.

    • Deborah Brooks says

    I’ve never heard of a wreath subscription either! Boy they have subscriptions for everything these days, don’t they? Sounds like a very thoughtful gift.

    I’m loving the fact that I don’t think I have to go to the vet again until 2018! Lola’s dental required a LOT of vet visits.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/09/2017 at 7:11 pm

  26. Natalie says
