Great deal for you from Fekkai.

*     *     *

As Conal reminded me this morning before getting on the bus, there are only 7 days until Christmas! That means procrastinators really need to get busy.

So whether you are a procrastinator and need to pick up a few items for someone special, or just need a little extra treat for yourself, I have a deal for you!

Fekkai, the web site from renowned hairdresser Frederic Fekkai, is currently running a holiday promotion to help you with last minute gifts. In addition to free shipping, they are offering 10% off your total order and a complimentary exclusive holiday headband with a $50 purchase (while supplies last). 

Check out how cute this headband is:

Wouldn't that be perfect for a New Year's Eve party? Sure would.

To get the deal, visit the Fekkai web site through this special holiday promotion link and, when ordering, use this promo code: HEADBAND.

That's it! Easy.

There are a ton of products to choose from. Me? I'm interested in the Brilliant Glossing Cream. Maybe the whole Brilliant Glossing line. I could use a little glossy brilliance in my life!

What about you?
Do you have someone on your list who could use a few Fekkai goodies? 
Ever tried anything from the Brilliant Glossing line? 
Should I try it out?

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week!

The drink is on me. Sorta.

I've decided to copy some of the other bloggers out there and make one day a week a product review day. And that day is going to be this day, today, Friday. Fridays will be my review days from now until I don't have any more products or whatever to write about. I hope I don't bore you.

So, this week I tried out three of the new "zero calorie, naturally sweetened, vitamin enhanced, water beverages" from SoBe Lifewater. Water beverage? That's what they say.

The SoBE team sent me six bottles to sample, two of each of the zero calorie flavors that they offer: fuji apple pear, yumberry pomegranate, black and blue berry. My favorite was the fuji apple pear because it had the lightest taste. I found the other two flavors to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I probably should have prefaced that comment with some information about my drinking habits. I'm boring. I drink water. And black coffee. That's about it. Yes, I drink cocktails (vodka and tonics, if you must know, light on the vodka, heavy on the lime), but during the day it is water or coffee. These SoBe drinks were a big deal.

And I put them to the ultimate test: I drank the black and blue berry before my speedwork on Tuesday. I know, I'm dangerous. Living life on the edge.

Luckily, I had no problems. No stomach upsets, nothing. Rock on, Lifewater!

If you are interested in trying out the drinks, the SoBe people sent me a link for a buy one get one free coupon. You can find it here. I hope it works!

I tested my hamstring last night on an easy, hilly 4-miler and it felt fine. It's tight today but I think that's all it is. Just some tightness, but nothing bad. I will lay off the jumping jacks and I should be fine.

We've had amazing weather this week. I plan to make the most of this weekend, since it looks like we'll be having some cooler, rainier weather next week. My fingers are crossed, though, for perfect marathon weather on Monday in Boston. Good luck to everyone who is racing!

Whether you are racing or not, have a great weekend!

Running with Brooks.

(This week's TiaRT theme at Runners' Lounge is an ode to running shoes, written "in the same number of words as the dollars* it took to buy them." OK . . . I'll give it a go!)

I'm addicted to the Addiction, Brooks' appropriately named motion control shoes. Yes, they’re heavy. Yes, they’re clunky and big. But they contain my feet, forcing my body into a less injury-prone gait.

I used to wear whatever was on sale: Nike, Saucony, Adidas. Then the injuries started. I had my gait analyzed at a running specialty store (something I recommend to every runner) and “the guy” suggested the Brooks Addiction. Six years later, I’m still a fan.

My front hall closet.

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

PS: Barney Butter is giving away free samples! Check it out here. Yum!
PPS: Amanda at Run to Finish is having a goodie bag giveaway here. Double yum!

* My last pair cost me a grand total of $77.50.

Freebie alert.

Just a quick post to alert you that SoBe World is giving away 1 million bottles of their 0 calorie Lifewater today. You can find out where they are giving away the bottles by visiting their web site here.

I've never tried the Lifewater, but I'm interested in it. I'm always struggling with my hydration so I may have to check it out!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
