All Things Loved

Here is the short and sweet March edition of 'All Things Loved'

* GARMIN

I know I didn't need this expensive little running accessory, but I have to say, it might be one of the best things I've bought for running. Its so nice to go out for a run, look down and know how far you've gone, your mile time and overall time. Its so nice not having to try and map out a run online and figure out the distance and then figure out your per mile time. The first time I used the Garmin was in Arizona and loved it. I'm glad its finally starting to be nice enough to run outside at home. I've logged some quality time with this watch in the last two weeks! (I got mine on Heart Rate Monitor - Search for the Garmin 405x. They usually have a "sale" on them and have free (and fast) shipping.)
* BIC Headbands

I found this shop through Skinny Runner and purchased a headband as part of a friends birthday gift. When it came in I loved it and was jealous, so I had to go buy myself a couple too. I may have gone a little over board, but I've worn all the headbands at least once :) I like the mini ones, they are thin and sparkly and add a little fun to your outfits. I tried the thicker ones when working out and they worked really well. They stay in place and don't rip your hair out. the headbands are nice becuase they are tight enough that they stay in place but not to tight that they pinch your head and give you  headaches. And each month the shop picks a charity to donate $1 of the proceeds from each headband to. That's pretty cool.

* EOS

I have been seeing lots of ads for this brand in all my magazines lately. I'd heard of them before and since I'm addicted to chapstick, I figured I'd give them a try. I ordered a couple of the "egg" shaped kinds and two of the regular stick kinds. I LOVE THEM ALL and they are all over the house, my purse and one's in my desk at work. This chapstick is great becuase its thick but not to thick or gross, it has good flavors and it lasts a lot longer then most brands. Its nice for running beucase it stays on for so long you don't have to carry chapstick to reapply duirng your run (maybe this is just something I do?).
