Mamma Chia Clean Energy Review and Giveaway

-

The germs took over my household the past two weeks.  Last week the awfulness took down Tucker and then myself.  Tucker went to school 1 day and I made it 2.   I kept watching Izzy all week, just waiting for it to take her down.  Her recital was this past weekend and I kept thinking "ohh noo..... she's going to get sick Saturday or Sunday morning".  To my surprise, it didn't hit her either of those days.  

Instead, it hit her this morning.  I convinced my husband to stay home for a couple of hours this morning until I was through teaching my first two classes of the day (because I had prep the rest of the day today) and then I'd come home and stay with her.  

I love 5 year old spelling... 
With the germs and sickness, I haven't run since last Monday.  Fingers crossed that today will be the day I get some mileage in.  Honestly, I don't care how many miles, I just want to RUN!  

Home early on a snowy day to cuddle with my girl

This week I'm going to wish away all the germs and host a giveaway a day!  Today's giveaway is Mamma Chia - Chia Energy.  It is Mamma Chia's new organic Clean Energy Drink and is the first beverage to combines the power of chia with the clean energy of guayusa.  



Guayusa has been part of the Amazonian culture for over 2,000 years.  It is sought after for it's unique balance of natural caffeine, antioxidants and vitamins.  Guayusa is found in the leaves in the holly tree which is found native to the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador.  Another bonus of guayusa is that it provides a smooth, clean caffeine free from the crashes and jitters one may experience with coffee.  


This guy and I are caffeine addicts, but we both hate the crashes.  That is why I shared with him and why he is smiling.  Chia seeds have been a favorite of mine for such a long time, which is why I was surprised I had never tried Mamma Chia before.   Now that I have, it's become a regular item in my grocery cart.  I love the flavors and the powerful pack of antioxidants, protein, fiber, and omega-3s this delicious drink offers.  


My Chia Energy Drink was the perfect midday pick-me-up drink as well and it didn't leave me feeling dehydrated like a midday cup of coffee.      The Raspberry Razz was my favorite flavor.

Like all Mamma Chia products, the Chia Energy Drinks are non-GMO verified, gluten-free, vega, kosher, and USDA certified organic.  They retail for $2.99 and are available at select retailers including Whole Foods, Safeway, and Target.


A few more facts: 
* 2500 mg of Omega-3s (more than 1 day's worth)
* 6 grams of fiber (25% of your recommended)

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler with the girls on New Year's Da

I GLOW + giveaway

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the door.  There is some great comfort knowing t

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression gear?  Do they just like wearing tight clothing? Actually, Tommie’s compression line i
