I am always looking on other peoples blogs for product reviews, or finds that people absolutely love. I am one of those people that if I find something that I really like, or that fits really well, I buy mulitples! I learned the hard way, when I found a pair of jeans that fit like a glove, and made my bubble butt actually look small! I never went back to get another pair, and they have now disappeared :( So here is a page dedicated to products and or clothing items, that I can not live without and own at least 2 of! :) Enjoy!
Body Glide
This product is a MUST for long runs that exceed 8 miles. And, I learned the hard way!
- Jelly Belly Extreme Sports Beans
I love these little things! Not only do they not have a NASTY after taste or texture, but they have CAFFINE! Which is my friend during long runs! These beans have not yet upset my tummy...but I do need a few swigs of water to wash them down. My favorite flavors are fruit punch and watermelon.
- Gu Chomps
I have started to become more fond of these...they seem to give me the extra oomph I need to get through my longer runs!
- Garmin Forerunner 305
Now, this one is new for me. Like brand spankin new. I have only used it on 2 runs, but am in love! It is the best training tool for any runner who is training for a race. I am kind of OCD when it comes to distance. I can't be like "well, that run was about 5 miles". If my training plan says to run 5 miles, I better run exactly 5 miles! So for the longest time, I would get in my car and have to freakin drive all my routes to know which one was x amount. It really was a time waster! This little gem, does it for me. So now, I can just park ANYWHERE, yea anywhere, and then run....just run! Another really important feature that I love is the pace feature. Now that I finished my first half marathon, my new goal is to beat my previous time. To do that, I am training to run at certain paces. Now, I have that on my wrist at all times during my run, so I know whether or not I need to speed up or slow down! It is AWESOME! Anyone who is debating wheter or not the $160 bucks is worth it....YES, it SO is! DO IT! I can't wait to see how much I improve!- The Right Underwear
Now these are by far, the best underwear I have yet to wear, especially for long runs! It took a lot of practice underwear to find the right ones. Sorry if TMI, but I am a thong girl, and have been for like 12 years! I am just so used to them, that when I wear any other kind, I feel like I am constantly picking my wedgie! But I noticed on my first 8 mile run, that my cotton thong, shall I say gave me "thong burn". Ouch! Man, I had never had a pain so burningly bad (except childbirth!) I found these at Target. They are the Gilligan & O'Malley Modal Thongs and for a 3 pack are only $9.99. They also make bikini underwear in the same modal material. I highly reccommend them! I do advise to get a size smaller than you usually wear, because I think they run a little big!
- Tek Gear Seamless Sports Bra
Now I by no means have large girls...I am a small to average B, so I don't need much support. But this sports bra does not let my girls giggle at all, and supports without smooshing. The seamless material is soft and moisture wicking and does not chafe at all. I also like the fuller cut, because it mysteriously keeps in the arm pit fat that likes to sneak out on some of those skimpier sports bras! I also like how it comes a little higher on the chest, it creates that layered look that is so fashionable these days :) Lastly, I like not having to pay an arm and a leg for a sports bra, these are on sale right now at Kohls for $15.99 and come in a variety of colors. ( I love my pink one)! 
SkullCandy Earbuds
I LOVE these little buds. They are fully functional for someone who does not want to spend $40 bucks on earphones. I got them last week at Marshall's for only $6.99! They have the same ones at Target for $16.99. The sound is way better than the Panasonic ones I had before that cost around $20! AND along with my new earbuds, I ALWAYS take with me my hubbys iPod Shuffle. I just clip it on my sports bra strap, and I'm good to go!
Well, that is all I can think of now...as I come across stuff, I will be sure to add them. I have yet to find any clothing items that I can't live without. But, I am in constant search of black capris that I LOVE!
