Can You Say It In 100 Words or Less?

I was so excited when Meli Anna and Kai contacted me from their site http://www.runningonthewall.com/.  I love that this husband and wife team are not only inspirational with their super healthy lifestyles and achievements, but they work together and create some really cool products. 

I of course did not hesitate to take them up on their offer and check out their work.  I love my pink running board although I don't have many "runs" under my belt, I will love being reminded every day as I sit in my office and look up at the wall, to get off my booty and get outside. These boards are personally created for you to choose which ever style, saying and color you want. Along with the hooks you can add your medals or whatever you need to.



Running on the Wall was created by my husband and I. We are both avid runners and our lives are all about running and being healthy. My husband has completed 15 marathons and finished the Boston marathon in a quick 3:08 minutes! We took our inspirations and invented a product that is a new, fashionable way to show off your racing bibs and medals. We design wooden displays for your medals and race bibs that have a great home décor style. We are happy to share our leading invention with you all runners and athletes.

Our “green” products are made of recycled material as much as possible: water paint, mdf recycle sources wood, non-chemical varnish… My husband and I feel that by making a little difference along with everyone else, it will create the huge difference that we are all waiting for in this world.
We love to play with mantra when we run and know the power of the mind… so we have recently added it to our collection. Enjoy it is really inspiration and motivational!
We enjoy making our products and are very thankful for all of the people that love our displays.


Go check out  http://www.runningonthewall.com/  and purchase two or more signs, you can receive 10% off your order.  What a cool gift it would make for someone who might be really into running OR even someone just starting out and a unique cute way to motivate them.

I had the opportunity to try out the ALO pants from  http://www.activewearusa.com/.  These pants seem to run a tad large so good thing to know when ordering.  But super comfy and great stretch to them.  I love my ALO power pant and have an extra to give away! :)



 
Thanks to http://twodegreesfood.com/mission/ I was able to receive their product.  Gluten free and vegan these not only taste great, the have very low sugar count which I love.  What I love even more is the company's mission and what they stand for.   Check out this link and watch.
 
Here at Two Degrees, we believe that everyday choices can make a big difference. Instead of grabbing just any snack, you can go for one that feeds your hunger and helps do the same for another. That's the power of our one-for-one model: for every Two Degrees bar you buy, we donate a meal to a hungry child.
Our mission is to empower you, the consumer, to help feed 200 million hungry children through just Two Degrees of separation. After all, in today's world, none of us are that far away.
 
  
Will Hauser and Lauren Walters – old friends – decided to start a new kind of food company: one that would make great products and help feed hungry children around the world.
They had similar backgrounds – both were the sons of two doctors and both decided on business careers instead of medicine. Both always believed that business and helping others were completely compatible.
Will, while an undergraduate at Harvard, led Harvard Student Agencies, the largest student-run business in the world, before going to Goldman Sachs. Lauren is an experienced entrepreneur, investor and advisor to companies and non-profits.
Both knew that working to reduce malnutrition would have a lasting impact on the lives of children. While NGOs and generous donors were making a difference, Will and Lauren believed that translating ordinary purchases into specific donations of meals could make an even greater impact on the lives of children.



I tried each bar and love the ingredients.  Located right here in my own back yard (San Francisco) Two Degrees is a must on my list. I am happy to share some with you.
 
 
 
I still have the head band from http://www.sweatybands.com/en .  Still loving my Sweaty Band and I am adding this one to the giveaway.  You know with the holiday season approaching in a few months, these would make great "stocking stuffers".....:)

Wow, what a fun Giveaway.  I am so looking forward to sending this package off to the lucky winner over at www.facebook.com/fitnessmomwinecountry . If you want to win, you need to email me at fitnessmom2895@gmail.com with 100 words or less of how Fitnessmom has been an important part of your journey.

My New Fav Headband....:)

Thank you to Sweaty Bands for sending me these cute and super comfy head bands. Since I seem to be lacking in the creative hair department, I live in ponytails and headbands.  I have tried my fill of many different brands and styles, and even prices.  From the supermarket to the designer boutique in some cute town. I have even resorted to taking some of our daughter's headbands and tried wearing those. 

I look for and love something that is soft, easy to slip on and mostly, stay on while I am out running.  Also, it doesn't hurt to have it look cute enough to wear out and will be comfortable enough for me to wear with my reading glasses at the same time. 

Normally headbands are too thick around the ear area for my glasses to fit, or they get tight and cause me to get headaches. These Sweaty Bands are my new number one fav and since I am so loving these, I want to share the extra one I have and give it away to a fellow fan of www.facebook.com/fitnessmomwinecountry


I love that I can wear my reading glasses with these


Looks like it is time for my hair appt...:)


SO, since I want to give the other headband away, I will do so to the 6,500 fan on my facebook page.  In the meantime, go check out www.SweatyBands.com

Loving Nature Box...

Look I what I got in the mail....woo hoo!


It's all about the snacks, and I love to snack.  Thanks to Nature Box I have been introduced to not only tasty, but super healthy snacks made from ingredients that I am okay with and they are made right here in the Bay Area.  NatureBox focuses on making it easier to eat healthier for you and your family. They offer a monthly membership that delivers hand picked snack food to your door along with expert tips and tricks to living a healthy life delivered right to your inbox.
 

Each month, your box will include 15 to 20 servings across 4 to 6 different NatureBox snacks. They take pride in picking the healthiest and most delicious snacks for you to enjoy. You can trust that their products will be made from the most wholesome ingredients and will be minimally processed, if at all. Everything you eat from them will abide by their strict quality standards.



You will NOT find High Fructose Corn Syrup
No Partially Hydrogenated Oils
No Trans Fat
No Artificial Sweetners
No Artificial Colors

Food You Can Trust

Every NatureBox item is carefully sourced and nutritionist approved. Everything inside your NatureBox will be guilt free so that you can feel great about what you’re eating. You can trust that our products will be made from the most wholesome ingredients and will be minimally processed, if at all.

I received a July Box which had the following :

*Zesta Fiesta Mix serving size 1/4 cup with 1 gram of sugar.
*Sunny Trails Trail Mix 1 oz with 16 grams of sugar. 
*Garden Tomato Crunchies 1/4 cup with 2 grams of sugar. 
*Lemon Pucker Pistachios 1 oz with 2 grams of sugar. 
*Southern BBQ Sunflower Kernels 1 oz with 1 gram of sugar.

The sodium count in each bag was suprisingly minimal compared to "snack foods", the highest was 360 mg. with the lowest being 25 mg.




We enjoyed tasting and sharing these snacks the other night amongst friends, they were great conversation as we sat outside on a summer night enjoying the beautiful weather.  They all seemed to be a hit although each had their own opionions of "spicy or not spicy" with the Zesta Fiesta, turns out I am just a pansy.  Oh and the BBQ Seeds, taste exaclty like a chip, only a smaller bite and without all the processed garbage.  Naturebox wasn't kidding about the Lemon Pucker Pistachios, and out of the entire bag only two of them were difficult to open.  Normally when you purhcase a bag of pistachios you come across some diffiuclt ones.


NatureBox also does great for a cause.... For every NatureBox sent out, together we’re helping to feed the hungry. NatureBox donates one meal for every box to feed the over 14 million children in America who go hungry. We believe in doing good and eating well.

NatureBox has a promo offer for first time orders, just enter the Promo code in the box at check out HEALTHY in all caps and you will receive 25% off your first order. 

Thanks Naturebox for the opportunity and sharing such a great product. Enjoy Peeps.
