I haven’t done a loving lately post in a while and well, I just had a lot I wanted to say today. So here goes my list of a few things that are making me happy today. If we were chatting on a run, I might tell you I am loving…
Winter Running-
The past two winters I was injured and unable to run at all during the winter months. I don’t care how cold it is this year, I am running and I am loving it. You may heard we are expecting a blizzard of sorts today and I bought these Yaxtrax last year and never had the chance to use them. I can’t wait to break them out and see what the buzz is all about. Can you really run with these things on? Like a kid on Christmas morning I can’t wait to play with them. Find your pair here (affiliate link).
Hot Yoga-
I go through phases of yoga and no yoga. I forget how much I love it and how amazing I feel afterwards. Hot yoga is my favorite type and what a great compliment to winter running right? I just bought a ten pack so now I have to go back! Right now I am loving Core Power-ever been?
My New Hair Cut
While everyone else was out stocking up on toilet paper and milk I was getting a new cut and color. Gotta look cute in those snow pics right?

Aurorae Towels-
I was given this great Aurorae swim towel to review last month and I’ve been taking it along to swim class ever since. Firstly, it’s huge! When I walk from the locker room to the pool area it’s quite chilly and I love that it wraps all the way around me to keep me warm and covered. Bonus that the colors are great and match all of my swim suits-ah the important things! They are super absorbent and I will for sure be getting a few more of them in some other colors. They also make yoga towels. You can find them here (affiliate link).
The new Skirt Sports spring line-
The new Spring Line for Skirt Sports is just beginning to roll out. As an ambassador I get a sneak peek and I am in love with all the new bright patterns. I can’t wait to get my hands on these because can you really ever have too many workout clothes? Ok don’t answer that. Check out their new styles and feel free to use my ambassador 20% discount code (CMR20).
I usually get into a funk in January with the cold temps and shorter days but right now, I am feeling pretty good hope it lasts!
Tell me what are you loving right now?

Susie @ SuzLyfe says
What about your new hair cut? It is gorgeous!
Deborah Brooks says
I wrote it in advance but great idea thanks! I just added it in you are so sweet!

I have always wanted to try the hot yoga out. Now that it is cold out that may be nice. I don’t even know any studios around me that offer it. I will have to look into it.
Deborah Brooks says
I really like the combination of running and hot yoga and find it really opens up my hips for a great stretch. Let me know if you give it a try
Jennifer @ Running on Lentils says
I LOVE your new cut and color! I’m curious to see what you think of the YakTrax. Last winter I run in the trail version of my regular shoes, and they were awesome. But my size is no longer available, so I need another option. Good luck with the blizzard this weekend!
Deborah Brooks says
I am really excited to try them out! I will let you know

I love yoga but not hot yoga….warm yoga in mid 80’s is great, but when the room is 90 and above I want to pass out. Haircut looks great!
Deborah Brooks says
I felt like that at first but I love the feeling of the warmth in the winter.
Chaitali says
I love yr hair, it looks great! I’m going to try to get in more yoga this weekend since I can do it inside in the warmth 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
I know I am hoping that it is not closed all weekend with the snow
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I LOVE you’re hair cut! Hot mama!! I am going to look into those yaxtrax, especially with the storm we’re supposed to get this weekend! I’m loving my paleo diet so far (thank goodness!) and the fact that it’s Friday :).
Deborah Brooks says
Ah Thanks yes should be quite the interesting weekend with all this snow!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
Love your new hair! You have a great stylist!
I’m so impressed by your winter running– you are tougher than I am. Stay warm in all this snow!!
Deborah Brooks says
Ah thanks friend! For now I am really enjoying it
AJ @ NutriFitMama says
Your hair looks AWESOME! Love it! Let me know how those Yaktrax work- when we move to Michigan I might have to look into those LOL!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and yes I am excited to check them out!
Sharon says
Love your new hair cut! Living out west now, I’m a bit jealous of the snow excitement. Have fun in the snow and stay warm!
Deborah Brooks says
It just started snowing this is huge for us here we don’t get snow like this!
Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner says
Love the new hair, looks great!!!!
I am normally the same way, I love running and playing in the snow. Each snow storm or blizzard here, just makes people want to get out and play:)
Hope you get some awesome winter snow running in, especially since you’ve had a couple years without it!
Deborah Brooks says
I know I am so excited about it!
Tamieka@fitballingrunningmom says
Love love your cut and color!
Look at the size of that towel! I want one!
I have been in a running funk but looking forward to some cold winter running for sure!!
Stay warm and safe this weekend.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and yes the towel is awesome check it out!
MCM Mama Runs says
Yes, you can run in the yaktrax. We may be getting too much to run in them at first, but they’ll be good as things start to melt and compact on the trail. They do change your stride a bit, so you may end up with some extra aches and pains.
Deborah Brooks says
oh great just what I need!!
Smitha @ FauxRunner says
I got a similar type of towel for my gym bag recently and it cuts down my bag size in almost half!!
Deborah Brooks says
I love this towel and will definitely be getting a few more.
Mary Beth Jackson says
I got a cut and color yesterday too! We do know what is important! I am loving the cooler weather and my new training plan! TGIF – looking fantastic!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks! We might all be a little jealous of your weather too
Jess @hellotofit says
LOVE your hair, Deborah!! And I STILL need to try core power when I go back to visit home. I gravitate towards solidcore 😛
Deborah Brooks says
Let me know when you come up this way again! Solidcore is totally different than core power.
Laura@Fit Running Mama says
Your hair looks amazing!!! Props to you for running in ALL conditions… 20 degrees is my threshold! Enjoy the blizzard this weekend 🙂 As you know I am jealous!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes I know your jealous! It’s fun for now but I think I may change my mind in a few days
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
Your hair cut looks great! What I’m loving right now – cuddle time with my little man. 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
There is nothing better 🙂
Edye says
Your hair looks great! Have an awesome weekend 🙂
Blessings,
Edye
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks you too! Stay warm
Mary Long says
Skirt Sports spring line- so cute! I love when the new spring lines hit the stores and everything it bright and pretty.
I am currently loving my new dress pants from The Limited. “Exact Stretch” – this is probably the most comfortable pair of dress pants I have ever put on. I really dislike dress pants but with these, I was not ready to rip them off by the end of the work day. I highly recommend them if anyone is looking for a new pair.
Deborah Brooks says
I don’t usually like dress pants either but those sound comfy 🙂 I love to see the new spring lines too
Karen - Fit in France says
Your new haircut and color looks fabulous. I am loving that the days are getting longer. I need light ! Hope you are not hit too hard with snow. Great excuse to curl up and read a book.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes the snow just started we are not good at managing it here at all! I love the days getting longer too
Smitha @ RunningwithSDMom says
I heard a rumor that my favorite workout line – Spandits – is bring solid red to the mix. Just in time for Valentine’s Day! YAY!
Deborah Brooks says
I’ve never tried those but that sounds cute!
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
Loving your new cut! Have fun trying out your Yaktraks – I love running in the snow!
Deborah Brooks says
I just tried them so much fun!!
Coco says
I love your hair! And those tights! I still haven’t bought YakTrax. I always say we don’t get enough snow. I could be wrong this year ….
Deborah Brooks says
I’ve had them for 2 years and never had the chance to use them. I had so much fun tonight running up and down our street like little kid
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I’m loving all the fun filters I’ve found for my iPhone–my yoga pictures have been taken to a whole new level!
You look gorgeous in the picture!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and I have been loving your yoga pics too they are fantastic
Mar @ Mar on the Run says
ooh, what a great list. And your hair, seriously looks fabulous!! I need to get to hot yoga again soon.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and I am loving hot yoga right now. Don’t think we will be getting there for a few days though huh?
ilka says
Love the Deborah! Looks fab!
Deborah Brooks says
Ah thanks! Be glad you live in Florida today :0
Coach Henness says
Your hair DOES look amazing. I’ve been loving food – all forms of it – lol. But definitely running outside in the dark, wet winter mornings. Okay well it’s more like walk jogging but whatever.
Deborah Brooks says
walking jogging doesn’t matter as long as you are moving right? And thanks 🙂
Salt says
I need to get back to hot yoga so badly. I miss it!
Deborah Brooks says
So do I today! It would be perfect with this weather
Akaleistar says
You’re new hair cut is beautiful! Who needs toilet paper and milk when you can get a hair cut 🙂
courtney @ eat pray run dc says
loving the snow! it’s going to be a pain before long but for now, it’s awesome.
Deborah Brooks says
I had fun with my snow shoes and yaxtrax but would like my trail back soon 🙂
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
If I could ever get plowed out maybe I would get the chance to use my Yaktrax too, but nope, still knee deep in snow!
Deborah Brooks says
I know so many people are still unplowed it’s crazy! I did really like using them on Friday night when we had a few inches untouched.Hope you are holding up ok!
