I have partnered with Brooklyn Cloth for feature. Product was sent and opinions are my own

Recently Anthony received a few pieces of clothing from Brooklyn Cloth Co. and he fell in love with the styles. He is all sports and typically only wears shorts and sports brands tops, socks and hoodies. He loves basketball and loves the basketball style all year. So, it was a gamble to agree for clothing from a surf and skate clothing brand. To my surprise (and perhaps his) the pieces really excited him.

The very next day he grabbed the pair of Brooklyn cloth shorts and the Sherpa-lined jacket to wear to school. Even on warm days, he grabs hoodies and coats to school because his classroom gets chilly. I warned him he may be too warm in the sherpa-lined coat, but there was no talking him out of it even on a 70 degree day.

I think this may be my favorite top. The New York cotton hoodie has the sporty look he typically wears. It is called the Boy’s New York Fleece Hockey Jersey Hoodie. We visited NYC last summer and Anthony fell in love with the city. We will be going back again this summer for a conference and he is so excited. Having these New York branded clothing brings back those memories for him. Such as visiting the Statue of Liberty when we were there.

The top above is called the Boys’ White New York State of Mind Long Sleeved Tee. It looks so sharp on him and with print on the front, back and each sleeve there is something happening on this entire shirt.

The cloth shorts at Brooklyn Cloth Co. fit long like board shorts. I ordered Anthony medium shorts in boys as a 10/12 size he normally wears and they hung long like board shorts should. You can see each piece from the shorts and jackets and how they fit in his video below….

Jessica Women’s Leather Adjustable Cross Strap Sandal by Therafit – Giveaway

April 17, 2018May 17, 2018 Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Therafit for this feature

Therafit has done it again and they keep getting better each season. For spring they have 10 new styles of comfort shoes to choose from. I am featuring the Jessica Women’s Leather Adjustable Cross Strap Sandal. With all the straps, not one of them bring discomfort or dig into the tops of my feet. The entire shoe is comfortable all the way around.

The shoe comes in blue or black and these are the blue pictured here. I love that is a sandal for spring and summer weather but can be worn when dresses up or down. They are great with a air of jeans or shorts and also just as great with a skirt for an evening out or day at church.

The straps are a stretched elastic band and as with Therafit shoes it also has contoured footbed, superior arch support, and deep heel-cups will stabilize and support your foot. They are available in whole sizes so you would order up for a half size. I wear an 8.5 typically and the 9 is a great fit! Visit Therafit New Arrivals to see all of the latest styles.

Did You Know? Running Facts to Motivate You

December 5, 2017December 5, 2017 Erin Sluka

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mizuno. The opinions and text are all mine.

Today we are talking about running. The Holidays are here and many of you may be thinking about New Year Resolutions or after overeating you may be thinking about starting to run or even walk for a healthier start to 2018. I searched many resources along with facts I remember in my own head and I want to share the top ones that stick out to me. Motivation is key to success and hopefully these running facts will make you smile or make you more curious to take an extra step closer to starting a healthier routine.

Remember this name, Fauja Singh. He is the oldest marathon runner at 100 years old. He finished a marathon in Toronto in 8 hours, 25 minutes, 16 seconds.
I have seen in several readings that running 12-18 miles a week can leaves runners with a stronger immune system and are less prone to colds
Over 1 billion pairs of running shoes are sold worldwide every year
Like stair climbing? In the Great Wall of China Marathon, runners have to climb 5,164 steps (that’s not for me)
South African runner Zola Bud won two IAAF World Cross Country titles while running barefoot
The average exercise life of a running shoe is about 400 miles
The inside will wear faster then the outside in almost every running shoe (Don’t look at a car tire to judge the heath of a car. It’s the engine inside that can have the most problems) such as in the shoes lining or support system

What running shoe am I wearing now? My latest shoe is the Mizuno Wave Rider 21 running shoe. To me, a shoe that I have to ‘break in’ before I feel comfort is not the best running shoe. Like these Mizuno Wave Rider 21 shoes, they should support from the first time you put them on and that should feel comfortable to you.

Before I even stood up and took my first step in these shoes they were comfortable. I have the High Rise Greystone, but they come in 4 total colors – Patriot Blue-White, Baja Blue-Dazzling Blue and Athena-Siver. The redesigned Wave technology offers softer cushioning. Mizuno’s Dynamotion Fit features a breakthrough in “Triple Zone” engineered mesh for breathability, movement, and hold when it is needed while running.

These shoes are made to run and remain comfortable while offering the support your foot needs. Sounds simple, but it is hard to get style, comfort, support and breathability in one shoe. Some have support but rub and cause discomfort. Some shoes are comfortable until later that day when your feet begin hurting from lack of proper support. Some support and are comfortable but it lacks in style and color choices. Mizuno hit it all in one shoe. Know a runner? Share these with them. They may thank you later!
