THE LUST LIST

Joining the ranks of the running has also introduced me to a host of running "goodies" that I just have to have (of course).  I have a long list of things that I'd eventually like to buy -- but I'd like to feature a few here every now and then, to hopefully keep me satisfied while I save up.  Heh.

RUNNING SKIRTS "RUNLOVE" COMPRESSION SOCKS IN AZURE


These are just so adorable -- and functional!  I first saw these on a vendor at the "Run Like A Girl" 8k.  She had them on in black, and I was instantly obsessed.  They can help you run longer distances with less pain, and can aid with recovery after a long run.  What's not to love?

TEAM SPARKLE SPARKLE SKIRT IN LIGHT BLUE

I ran my second 5k on New Year's Day in the Gunmetal Sparkle Skirt.  I had the best time, and PR'd!  I got so many compliments on my fun, flashy skirt and I felt so great running in it.  The ladies at Team Sparkle are fabulous and even double-checked their inventory when I inquired about the Gunmetal being sold out in a Small.  A couple of days later my new Sparkle Skirt arrived (with free shipping!) and was ready to race in.  I can't wait to get this gorgeous pale blue color next!

SWEATY BANDS "VIVA DIVA" SUPER SKINNY IN PINK


I mean, come on, y'all.  It's a sparkly pink headband.  I think it needs no introduction.  I have a wider Sweaty Band (that I picked up at the aforementioned "Run Like A Girl" 8k) and let me tell you -- they really don't slip.  I mean, they don't budge.  They're the best headbands I've tried so far, the rest that I have require the use of double bobby pins.  Hair in your face = super annoying, so I think the $15 price tag is worth it.

  1. OMG...I MUST have the sparkle headband. All very cute accessories. I think people run better when they feel good about how they look. :)

  2. I totally agree! It's a confidence booster. I saw the skinny sparkle Sweaty Bands in person at a race, and they really are cute!
