#NoExcuses to Stink

March 27, 2015 | blogging, health, running, running gear

I am a heavy sweater. That, combined with living in a very hot and humid climate make for a hot mess after a run or race. No one likes to be in the car all gross after a run, and no one wants to hang out post race when they are stinky (no one would ever want to stand by me!) I think it is genius that ShowerPill created these awesome body wipes for people like me.

showerpill

These wipes come individually wrapped in a ten pack, and can be used on your whole body. They kill 99.9% of germs and have Aloe Vera and Vitamin E.

They are safe for sensitive skin, and have no alcohol. Also, they contain a quick dry solution so you don’t have to dry off afterwards.

I like to throw one in my gear check bag for races, or when I know I have to run and then go run some errands, I throw one in my purse to use in the car.

A ten pack of wipes only costs $9.99, BUT, right now on their website, you can try a trial for only $1.00!! Totally worth the trial, and I’m sure you will love them as much as I do. I am running the Crescent City Classic 10k Easter weekend, and you can bet I will be bringing along a ShowerPill body wipe. It’s for the sake of my family and friends of course. Smile

Basically, it helps you to have #NoExcuses for not working out. No more can you say “oh, but I have to go get groceries, pick up the baby, and go to the post office so I can’t go to the gym”. Sorry, but yes you can!

QOTD: What do you do after a run or race to get rid of the “ick” when you can’t shower right away?

Disclosure: I was compensated for this post via Fit Approach and ShowerPill, however these wipes really are awesome and all opinions are my own.

    I brought along wipes in my check bag after Wine & Dine and it was SO nice to feel semi-clean! Great tip and I think I’ll be ordering some of these (I just used baby wipes before).

      These are nice because you don’t feel wet after, your skin dries quickly!

    I have yet to try these. I typically just bring baby wipes and they seem to work just fine!

      I have tried baby wipes and they tend to take awhile to dry on me

    I need these for after I finish up a run and have to nurse baby boy immediately after. I always joke around and say he’s going to have “salty milk” if he demands on eating before I’m able to shower. After my last half marathon, I ended up nursing him in the car right afterwards and I’m sure he would’ve appreciated a little wipe down prior to his breakfast. Lol

☀️ Cabin mornings, lakeside afternoons, and a ☀️ Cabin mornings, lakeside afternoons, and a little bit of learning in between… that’s our kind of summer!

I partnered with IXL to help keep Emma Kate’s brain just as active as her body this season — and the IXL Ultimate Summer Workbooks have been a total win. Each one includes fun, colorful activities across math, language arts, science, and social studies, and it only takes 2 pages a day to stay on track. ✏️📚

What makes them even better? You also get access to IXL’s online learning platform, with bonus practice, personalized growth plans, and instant feedback to keep kids motivated — whether you’re at home or on the go. 🙌

No long, boring lessons… just engaging learning that fits into real life.

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
