Seriously badass female authors
Who doesn’t love a great book?! Especially when the weather is nicer and maybe you have some extra time on your hands. Even if you have never a Peloton person, Tunde’s story is a must read, and relatable to the many lives she has touched through purs...
One of the best books I’ve read in a long time! Loved her as an instructor and her words in this book are so important
Speak by Tunde Oyeneyin - Porchlight Book Company
Love Glennon, and her story is so raw and compelling. She writes with an honesty and humor that is both relatable and entertaining- check her out!
Untamed: Reese's Book Club - Glennon Doyle Melton
Loved this one - Kristen Hannah is one of the best at weaving historical fiction into amazing storytelling.

Shades
I wear my sunglasses at night
These are great sunglasses that aren’t overpriced! I hate spending a ton on sunglasses because I always seem to “misplace” them 🤔 anyway, these shades are great, polarized lenses and anti-glare make them an easy sell in my book. Add the retro vibe a...
Knockaround Seventy Nines Polarized Sunglasses
These have been an amazing (and cost effective) way to help my driving and overall vision during sunny days and even at dusk. Hard to admit as I have never needed glasses or worn them, but, these are a great option until I see the optometrist ☺️

Hydration

These are the best - the smaller ones are best for running and biking and I have a larger one for longer hikes 🥾
Hydration Packs | CamelBak®
I was hesitant to buy this one but I have become a believer! They’re hydrating, quick protein and delicious. Make sure you blend well and add ice but I highly recommend this brand
Oath Nutrition Clear Whey Isolate Protein Frosty Lemonade
Another iteration of the ever growing hydration industry, this cheaper alternative has been comparable to my usual Liquid IV. Flavors aren’t as exciting but still hydration and flavor at half the cost 🤩

Quick protein or energy gels are crucial if you’re going on a long run or even in between work and a workout. Here are some of my favorites
Tasty and quick protein, whether on a run or need a healthy snack on the go, these are it!
Honey Stinger Organic Honey Waffle Energy
Love these - found them at Walmart for $8 for 4 🤙
SUPER COFFEE Protein+ Keto Protein Coffee
My personal favorite flavor - but I have tried them all and none disappoint. My only complaint is they get stuck in my teeth lol. Packs a lot in a small bar, get ya some
RXBAR Protein Bars, Chocolate Sea Salt
Throw a couple of these in your pack on any outdoor activity and they’re awesome for quick fuel.

If you get a chance to do one of these - don’t hesitate! 38 years old and I had a blast today at the 5k sprint event in Barre, Massachusetts. I’ll be feeling it tomorrow I’m sure but it was well organized, super friendly people and just overall a gre...

As much as I like to workout and know how many miles I ran, walked, biked or hiked - sometimes I just wing it without any devices. If you’re inclined to wearable tracking here are a few I’ve tried that I don’t hate 🤗
Initially skeptical on this one as I recently broke my Apple Watch and just wanted something basic to replace it. This one has been all that and more, so far. Only $30 on a flash deal and connects to my devices seamlessly to track workouts, heart rat...
Smart Watch 1.83" Fitness Tracker, Call, HR/BP/SpO2, 120+ Modes, IP68
Fitbit was the OG of smart watches and I loved mine. Simple, yet effective, heart rate monitor and steps counted. Moved up to the Fitbit 5 watch and honestly better than the Apple Watch ⌚️ if you’re looking for a basic option you can’t go wrong with ...
