Gifts for runners, walkers and more from Fleet Feet Sports

December 7, 2012 by

If you’re shopping for someone who likes to walk, run or just stay active, we’ve got a good list for you to browse through. Our friends at Fleet Feet Sports in Fayetteville tell us that these are the things on the wish list of lots of their customers this year. To see any of these gift recommendations in person, stop by Fleet Feet in Fayetteville. They’re located just off North College Avenue at 1020 Harold Street. Or give them a call at 479-571-8786.

Garmin Forerunner 10: This is a new, well-priced GPS for runners and walkers. It starts with the touch of one button, and it lets you see your time and distance as you run. You can even customize the display so it shows you your pace and distance on the same screen. Also tells you calories burned. This sells for $130 and comes in three colors (including pink) and two sizes. (You might like the smaller face size for women.)

Sweaty Bands: Everybody LOVES these headbands! I’ve got one with polka-dots and have received lots of compliments on it, including one from my 6-year-old daughter who borrowed it and wore it to school. They really do stay in place and the designs are SO cute. Great stocking stuffer idea that’s affordable, too.

Feetures Elite Wool Socks: These socks contain merino wool and bamboo fibers. The bamboo makes these socks incredibly soft, a bit more durable than wool alone, and has antimicrobial properties. Wool and bamboo are great natural fibers that wick moisture and are renewable natural resources. Plus, it feels like they’re giving your feet a little hug. So cozy.

Fresh StART auction helps domestic violence victims

November 23, 2012 by

As we focus on all we’re thankful for this year, we acknowledge that some are really struggling in Northwest Arkansas.

We can help some fellow mamas by purchasing a ticket to the November 29th Fresh StART fundraising event benefiting the Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter. This art auction will feature some terrific works by local artists, and artwork by moms and kids will also be on display.

It will be a great opportunity to find some unique holiday gifts for your loved ones. Music by the Claudia Burson Trio (http://cbursontrio.com/) and a painting “performed” live by Karrie Evenson (http://www.karrieevensonart.com/) will make it an entertaining evening.

Director Melanie Palmer said all proceeds will provide safe shelter to the victims of domestic violence in NWA.

Melanie added: “Just last week, we had a record 43 people in the shelter. We need your support!”

Tickets are available on the NWA P website: www.nwaws.org or by calling (479) 246-9999.

November 21, 2012 by

We spotted this article on ABC News and thought we should pass it along to our fellow mama shoppers. Apparently, Black Friday is NOT the perfect day to get absolutely everything on the holiday shopping list. In fact, toys are one of the things experts say you may want to wait to buy until later in December. Who knew?

Click HERE to see the Top 10 things on the “what not to buy on Black Friday” list published on the ABC News website.

Hope you all get some great deals today! Happy shopping!

Fashion Fairy Godmother: Spiegel launches new ‘Ultimate Outlet’ site with great clothes, deals

October 30, 2012 by

We have to admit that when Spiegel reached out to us about their new website, Ultimate Outlet, we immediately thought “pricey”.

Then we went to the site and the words “gorgeous clothes” and “wow, look at that price!” drove all other words out of our minds.

The online outlet not only features Spiegel clothes, but also Newport-News and Shape FX items. They not only have clothes, but jewelry, shoes and handbags as well — all at outlet prices. (Click here to visit the new site.)

While cruising the online outlet, a few other words caught our eye, especially when checking out all the Shape FX  options. Words like “sculpting”, “nip and tuck” and “hold-you-in”. We’ve never tried Shape FX before, but with up to 70 percent off on many of the shapewear items, we WILL be ordering a few and trying them out. Even if your body is just like you want it, shapewear helps smooth out the appearance of any outfit. We like that it helps with slight muffin tops or panty lines (don’t look at the shapewear behind the curtain!).

There’s even Shape FX swimwear. Now that makes a mama happy, especially when it’s ALSO on sale (click here to see).

Here are a few pieces we LOVE from the Ultimate Outlet site:

*Full disclosure, mamas: This post is sponsored by Ultimate Outlet, but the opinions about the site are our own. We knew you’d want to hear about this new online outlet. Happy shopping!
