This spring was kind of a big deal for me. I knew I wanted to buy myself something to commemorate the completion of 13 half marathons in 79 days. I don't expect to do anything quite that big again for a while, so I knew I wanted something special but had no idea what. Enter Scott James Jewelry. (Disclaimer: they ended up giving me the jewelry, but I was prepared to purchase it. Their website is the source of all of my photos except the bottom one.) I first saw their jewelry at the Expo for ZOOMA because they were a sponsor. In fact, they had created a few special charms for ZOOMA. While I love those charms, I didn't want to commemorate that race specifically (my medal, the charm on the medal, and the clothing I bought took … [Read more...]
Lucky 13 Giveaway #9: Lift Your Sole charm/necklace
Half Marathon #9 in 79 days is done! It wasn't my best race ever, but it's done. Today's giveaway is for a "Live Love Run" charm and leather cord from Lift Your Sole . I first met Jill from Lift Your Sole back 2010. I love her jewelry and I had the pleasure of meeting her at an expo and she was super sweet. In fact, she sent me a personalized charm shortly after our meeting, which I reviewed here.

I have combined them all on a cord and it is probably my most worn piece of jewelry (other than my wedding ring and earrings that I never take off...) The quality is awesome and I love how personal the necklace … [Read more...]
Lift Your Sole Review
Back in early October, I met Jill from Lift Your Sole at the expo for the Army 10 Miler. I purchased a cord and three charms, but also mentioned to Jill that I'd love to have one with "MCM Mama" on it. I gave her my business card and promised I'd be in touch. Well, my busy October/November got the best of me and I completely forgot. Jill did not. Look what came in the mail for me yesterday: I.LOVE.IT! She even sent me a lovely silver chain to wear it on! Thanks, Jill!!! If you are looking for a gift for the runner in your life, I highly recommend her products. I don't often wear jewelry, but I've been wearing the necklace I bought in October often. Things are still not great in the running department, but they are getting … [Read more...]
