Summer Sun & GIVEAWAY!

Congrats to our winners: Heather W. & Vera G.

It is officially summer and what better way to start summer than with a GIVEAWAY?!?

Since we watch Frozen near about every day in my house, I cannot help but hear Olaf singing about what happens to snowmen whenever I hear the word “summer.”Olaf summertime

I am a cold weather girl at heart and would give anything for a day on the mountain with my snowboard, snacks crammed into my pockets, a tube of sunblock and some chapstick. My sun care regimen began when I was in my teens when I became a snowboard instructor. Being on a mountain with the sun blaring from above and reflecting off the snow can do some damage if you don’t take precautions.

Having moved to South Georgia a few years ago means that I never see a chairlift, snow, or the mountains anymore. What it does mean is summertime sun during triathlons, the pool, and the beach. I have two amazing little girls, who have eczema like me. Our after sun care regimen is just as important as our pre-sun and during sun routine.

Girls on Beach

We are careful about the sunblock and creams we use, which is why I love Herbalife Herbal Aloe products. The Herbal Aloe Soothing Gel is the first thing we put on after rinsing off the salt water or chlorine. The Soothing Gel is paraben-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free and is soothing to my gentle skin and on my 3 yr-old and 5 yr-old. We also use the Herbal Aloe Hand & Body Cream, Shampoo, and Conditioner…Because I have a 3 & 5 yr-old, it also means I have two little girls that love to get into stuff and use up all the cream when I am not paying attention… which is also why I am so grateful to have affordable products that are wonderful for our skin.

Being a fan of these products makes me very excited about this GIVEAWAY!

HALF FANATIC Application

Half FanaticsMy love of running began in the late 1990’s, but it wasn’t until 2011 that I ran my first 5k. Admittedly, it had been a few years since I had run regularly and getting through more than one mile was more than challenging. On top of that, I was also nursing my youngest, who was eight months old at the time.

My finish time would not have passed an Army physical fitness test, but I was overjoyed just to finish. I walked away from this event with a renewed passion for running. Four months later, I found myself in a regular running routine and often surfing the internet looking for local races.

Since May 2011, I have run several 5ks, 10ks, four half marathons, and one full marathon. I have run races with my kids in a double jogging stroller, I have raced dressed up, and I have raced on hot days and races where it was pouring rain. Currently, my favorite distance is half marathon.

More than a year ago, I had a few friends tell me about Half Fanatics and told me to apply.  I finally got around to getting my membership application in this week and am anxiously awaiting my Half Fanatics member number. I have qualified for the first level- Neptune (one moon). Am I already looking at races so that I can move up to the next level in the Half Fanatic hierarchy? Of course I am!
