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…
Craghoppers Pro Lite Jacket ~ WanderGear Wednesday
Working from home, I like my light walking around jackets a lot. I wear some kind of jacket around the house most every day (maybe I should consider turning up the heat – HA HA). Unfortunately, many of these are heavy hoodies and they don’t pack well for travel. They’re just too bulky. I came Read More…
Granite Gear Packable Duffel ~ WanderGear Wednesday
I learned the value of a good duffel bag while trekking in Bhutan. My Eagle Creek duffel on the trek held all of my possessions for that 25-day trip and was carried each day on the back of a pony. Though it was placed inside a sturdy plastic bag which was, in turn, inside a Read More…
Vibram Bikila EVO Shoes ~ WanderGear Wednesday
Depending on whom you listen to, you might think that minimalist or barefoot running (and walking) is completely passe. A fad that’s gone the way of Crocs. But for those of us who got hooked on this style, we remain fanatics and there’s little changing our minds. As you likely know, I really only started Read More…
REI Venturi T-Shirt ~ WanderGear Wednesday
A woman I know told me that when she shops for travel clothes, the first place she goes to is the activewear department of a store. You know, the area where you find yoga, running and hiking clothes. I thought that was a brilliant idea and did a little head slap that I hadn’t thought Read More…
