asphalt + me Review & Giveaway

I’ve always loved stationery. I have boxes of note cards, and I make almost all the cards I give away. But honestly I’ve never seen or made a card good enough to give to my running friends–until now. I was perusing Etsy before the holidays and came across the wonderful cards from asphalt + me = peace. Isn’t that a great shop name? So true too. I contacted the shop owner, Melissa, and she graciously sent me a bunch of cards to review. I love them all, but here are a few of my favorites:

fave 2
The inside reads, “Way to go!”
fave 4
The inside reads, “Wake me when it’s spring!”
The inside reads, "For the after-party! (congratulations!)"
The inside reads, “For the after party! (congratulations!)”

Aren’t they awesome? Not only does this shop have great products–with fantastic photos, high-quality card stock, and cute messages–but the customer service and shipping were awesome!

Shine On, Sporty Girl Necklace Review and Giveaway!

Okay, I’ll be honest. I’m terrified about hosting my first giveaway . . . but here goes nothing! 🙂

Have you ever heard of Shine On, Sporty Girl? Well, you should, because they’re awesome. And they make great products. I first came across this Etsy shop in my perusing running items. I thought they made really cute necklaces, and I immediately wanted one–this one:

Isn’t it pretty? Not only does Shine On, Sporty Girl sell cute necklaces, but they also offer Christmas ornaments, medal racks, and more! I love the look of all their products, so I reached out to the shop owner, Kate, and she sent me a necklace to review. I LOVE it! It’s really cute and very high quality. The necklace comes on an adjustable chain and has super high quality charms. According to the shop description,

[Our] marathon running medal displays and triathlon medal display racks [are] crafted in steel. [Our] marathon running jewelry, runner charm necklaces, and triathlon jewelry [are] cast in lead-free pewter. Medal display racks for running and triathlon are so artful, and made of sturdy steel, then hand finished for a unique look.

Their customer service, quality of products, and shipping and handling is awesome. I ordered a Christmas ornament that I love, and I got it super fast. Yes, it didn’t have to travel very far to me, but it’s great that they ship so quickly after a customer order.

Hands down, Shine On, Sporty Girl makes fantastic products, and I recommend you go check out the store for yourself.

Now, because I love the store and their products, Kate and Team have generously offered this necklace to give away:

Run necklace
Love Running Necklace: $28 value!

Run tag is 1/2″ wide and and just under 1.5″ long
