Cloudline Premium Merino Wool Socks

Full Disclosure: I received a pair of socks free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

My feet are always cold... always.. and this time of the year into the Winter, it can be really painful - especially when I'm running/hiking/exercising.

It's easy for to me to 'layer' to keep my body warm, but keeping my feet warm isn't as easy. I was excited to give Cloudline Premium Merino Wool Socks a try.



Because the Cloudline socks were a little thicker than my normal socks I was a little concerned that maybe they would be too thick for my trail shoes. Surprisingly
they weren't. The fit was more 'snug' than I am used to, but it felt fine.

I took them for a test run out on the Appalachian Trail. It was great to be back on the trail.


However, I didn't expect the temperature drop, and I wasn't prepared for it! And I definitely wasn't prepared for the sleet and snow showers that seemed to come out of nowhere!


I was freezing ... except for my feet! Seriously, they were warm - comfy warm. It was awesome and unexpected!


I love the height of the sock. Being a road runner, who is doing more trail running, most of my socks are low trainers. The height of the Cloudline Wool socks were long enough to cover my ankle and part of my calf, but not too long that it felt uncomfortable with my *affiliate link calf sleeves. (Yes, I always wear compression calf sleeves. For me personally, it really does help with muscle cramps). 

The Cloudline socks were soft and not scratchy. And my feet, in addition to being warm, were also dry. I want to clarify that my feet were not hot - so don't think that these socks will be too hot to wear. They simply kept my feet warm verses painfully cold. 

On a side note, with running comes lots of laundry. I think you can identify! And the Cloudline Premium Merino Wool socks have held up well. 

Overall, I am enjoying my pair of Cloudline socks, and I would definitely recommend them to others. In fact, you can save 15% with code GLASS15 

Time to get outside and enjoy some fresh air!

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Marathon Training No One Said It Would Be Easy Or Even Always Fun

 No one said that it would be easy, or that it would always be enjoyable, and always fun. But when you've made a commitment - it's a commitment - and you see it through (and no I'm not talking about marriage, although I could easily make a correlation between the two ). I'm referring to my marathon training. See, last Sunday I had a 14 mile run on the schedule. Mentally I felt blah. Physically I felt 'ok' but not stellar. And when it came down to it, my mental blah won in the end and I bailed at 6 miles on my 14 mile run. If I thought I felt bad mentally before, I really felt bad mentally after bailing on the run. My trainer, being the trainer that she is, simply said, can you get in a 2 hour or so run on Monday? Gulp, I suppose so. And that's just what I did. It required me getting up before the sun woke up so that I could get in a 2 hour run before Hubby went to work. I am TERRIFIED of running solo in the dark. But I had bailed on my Long Run...
