2010 New York City Half-Marathon Here I Come!

It’s official — I’ve been accepted to run the 2010 New York City Half-Marathon on March 21st.  Gulp. Time to lace up those shoes and begin training!  Just one problem- there’s a serious risk I might not make it to the finish line.  I can’t seem to make it past 2 miles, and at the speed I run, I may as well be walking.

Fortunately, I have ABC weather girl, Heidi Jones, on the case.  This running superstar, who miraculously convinced me to enter the race, has also agreed to help train me for what could be my biggest failure yet.  As Fredrick Smith said, “Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.”  Well this definitely qualifies as something new.

Please email me any running tips or suggestions.  At this point, there’s very little I won’t try to get this very out of shape body into a 13.1 mile running machine.

STIRUPPZ Keeping it All in Place

If you have trouble creating that perfect jeans-tucked-into-pants-without-any-wrinkles-or-knee-bunching look, then you need Stiruppz. Stiruppz are designed to keep your jeans in place comfortably, without damaging your clothes. They remind me of those mitten clips I used to wear as a kid, but Stiruppz are a lot chicer, and have an equestrian vibe.

How it works: Just fold your jeans up, strap the elastic around your socks, and clip the edges to your cuff. Create enough tension with the elastic so that your pants won’t budge and you’re good to go.

One size fits all. $25.

Now available, the brand launched with a five-piece collection including Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment, Macadamia Oil Infused Comb, Macadamia Rejuvenating Shampoo, Macadamia Nourishing Leave-In Cream, and Macadamia Deep Repair Masque.  I’m obsessed with it all!

Face and hair oils have really made their way into the spotlight over the past few years and where many we’re once apprehensive to apply it to the face and scalp, it’s now readily accepted with proven benefits.  We started with Olive Oil, then Coconut Oil, then the last years major buzz word, the beloved argen seed oil, and now our attention is going to the macadamia nut oil.

Why Macadamia Nut Oil?

Macadamia nut oil works on all hair types to promote a healthy scalp and hair growth.  This lightweight, non-greasy oil absorbs quickly and effortlessly into the hair shaft and skin.  Rich in
