Michigan Mittens
I am always showing people where I am from via my hand. So I bet you can image my excitement when I came across Michigan Mittens. They\’re so cute and while I was in downtown Detroit taking pictures in my ice lambo so many people came up to me to ask where they\’re from.
Nektar Honey Crystals
I use honey as a substitute for sugar all the time, and recently had the opportunity to try Nektar Honey Crystals. I was skeptical at first – in the summer you can find Michigan street corners containing local honey, and I’m all about farm to table. Nektar Honey Crystals is also NOT pure honey; it’s made up of all-natural cane sugar and honey. While I wouldn’t use it as a baking substitute it’s great if you are traveling or at work, because you’re left without the sticky mess.
I have found myself using Nektar for other purposes besides my morning hot honey-lemon water. It’s a great addition to squash and sweet potatoes as well as a perfect rub for barbeque.
I was provided Nektar Honey Crystals via Sweat Pink in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own.
December Bucket List
The holidays come and go so quickly. In an effort to savor them I came up with a list of things I would like to do this month. What\’s on your list?
Turkey Trot Recap
On Thanksgiving my BFF and I ran our first Turkey Trot, which also happened to be our first 10k. The experience was absolutely amazing. The race took place in downtown Detroit and went through the America’s Thanksgiving Day parade route, making it such a fun environment.
What I learned:
• Running in a tutu is the worst idea ever – it was constantly between my legs
• Athleta makes the BEST workout pants ever
• Turtle Gloves are amazing and a must for any runner
• Bring your own water
• Don’t take it so seriously – stop and take pictures
• I need a knee brace
• Good shoes are a must
