I couldn’t have anticipated at the beginning of this summer that these Icebreaker Cool-Lite Spark Shorts would get so much use in such a short amount of time. Meant for warm weather, I’ve been wearing these often during my runs in Seattle because of our record-breaking temps. (No complaints, I’m loving it!) The material is Read More…

Olukai Momi Shoes ~ WanderGear Wednesday
I love Hawaii. And I love a lot of things that connect me with the islands. Including Olukai. Enter…the Olukai Momi shoes. Any shoe that I can easily slip on and off gets major points from me. I think if I had it my way (maybe when I move to Hawaii – ha ha!), I Read More…
AVEX Brazos Water Bottle ~ WanderGear Wednesday
I know it’s a good product when I receive a free one to review and then buy another one because I like it so much. That’s what happened when I got turned on to the AVEX Brazos Water Bottle water bottle with an autoseal top. I hadn’t heard of these folks prior to stopping by Read More…
Fjallraven Nikka Shorts ~ WanderGear Wednesday
It’s summer in Seattle and I’m confident enough that warm weather is here for awhile that all of my cool weather clothes are put away and my warm weather clothes are all that’s left in my closet and dresser drawers at the moment. That’s a great feeling. Even though our summer has technically just begun, Read More…
Pearl Izumi N1 Shoes ~ WanderGear Wednesday
Now that I’ve really gotten into the habit of running and am training for the Honolulu Marathon, I’m learning a lot about my body, the sport and the gear that works best for me. My recent “aha” moment was realizing that, depending on conditions and the length of my run, my gear needs might change. Read More…
KEEN City of Palm Sandals ~ WanderGear Wednesday
I’m a walker. Anytime I land in a city, the first thing I do is walk and walk and walk. Next to running, it’s the best way to experience the smells and soak up the culture and vibe of a new destination. When I was in New Orleans last week, I spent a lot of Read More…

This Month Win Give-N-Go Sport Mesh Underwear from ExOfficio
Congratulations to Kelly K. from Jasper, Alabama, a new subscriber to the Wanderlust and Lipstick Newsletter, for winning this month’s prize! ***** ExOfficio started in Seattle just before I moved here. I feel pretty fortunate about that fact because with them being in my backyard, I’ve been able to get to know them pretty well Read More…
Mountain Khakis Cora Dress ~ WanderGear Wednesday
How much does this dress say summer? A lot! This is the new Mountain Khakis Cora Dress, part of their spring/summer line that’s just come out. While I was on Maui these past couple of weeks, I had a chance to test out this lovely dress. I found the Cora to be quite versatile because Read More…
Timbuk2 Copilot Luggage ~ WanderGear Wednesday
I’ve been pretty excited to test out my new Timbuk2 Copilot Luggage Roller since I received it more than two months ago. My travels the past couple of months have only been short trips but my 10 days on Maui finally warranted carrying something a bit larger than just a weekend bag. Admittedly, the Timbuk2 Read More…
