Aftershokz Open Ear Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones | Runner Review

January 4, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, Happy 2021!

Last week I shared What I Got For Christmas 2020 and received a comment on the post, as well as a few comments on social media, asking me to review them and now that I have used them several times, I want to share my first impressions review.

Aftershokz Headphones

How They Work

Aftershokz headphones use bone conduction technology and the Open Fit design delivers music through your cheekbones, ensuring your ears remain completely open to ambient sounds for maximum situational awareness during long-term wear. The Aftershokz headphones are also designed to repel sweat, dust, and moisture.

What You Need To Know: The Tech Details

These offer bluetooth connectivity. 1 connectivity and convenient multipoint pairing compatible with your iOS and Android Bluetooth-ready smartphones or tablets and Mac and PC computers and laptops.

Why I Love Them

I wanted these headphones after hearing from a lot of folks in the running community speak so highly of them. They are easy to set up and pair with my iPhone, and the buttons on the headphones are simple and easy to operate. The charging cord is also very simple and the battery life is up to 6 hours, which is perfect since I am an endurance runner who enjoys heading out for hours at a time. They are extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. The situational awareness is INCREDIBLE. It is hard to describe, but you can hear the music while still hearing cars, people around you, birds, the rope hitting a flagpole (seriously!), and it somehow isn’t chaotic or noisy.

Pom-Pom Sweater Trend

January 27, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have been seeing the pom-pom sweater tread on Instagram for the past year and I finally jumped on the bandwagon after I had a Just Fab credit that I wanted to use.

Pom-Pom Sweater by Just Fab

I am a big fan of shoes (boots especially) from Just Fab but this is the first time ordering any clothing and I was pretty nervous. I purchase affordable, but if the quality isn’t there or it looks and feels cheap, I won’t wear it. I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality! I will now be sure to check out the clothing when I have a Just Fab credit (I usually am good about skipping the months, but I forget about twice a year). The sweater I got is sold out but I found a lot of similar ones that I will link.

WET BRUSH PADDLE HAIR BRUSH VS. ORIGINAL WET BRUSH | WHICH IS BETTER?

January 2, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Happy New Year! I hope that 2019 feels fresh and full of possibilities! I would like to challenge you to do something that scares and excites your this year every month. I stated by signing up for a course that I’m not sure I’m ready for but I’m deciding to tell myself that my nerves are actually just excitement. Coffee clinks and champagne cheers to 2019!

 

 

I have long hair, and I have been a Wet Brush user for years! I have purchased several, on average about one each year (which works out to less than 0.20 cents a week or in my case about a penny every time I use it) because the brushes are still in great shape, but literally dusty with dry shampoo gunk since I am self-proclaimed dry shampoo crazy. I needed a new Wet Brush, and I saw the Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush on Amazon for about $1 more than the Original Wet Brush Oval Brush and decided that because it has more surface area it might be helpful for my very long hair.

My Thoughts

It doesn’t look like that much of a difference in surface area when you compare the Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush vs. the Wet Brush Oval Brush but I was blown away by the difference. I like both brushes for combing through my hair (something I do several times a day when my hair is down), but when my hair is wet out of the shower and I’m trying to comb product though (almost always my go-to favorite is the It’s a 10 Leave-In Treatment) I noticed that the Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush combed through my long, fine but thick hair in record time! I think both Wet Brushes are fantastic, and I will continue to use both, and will never ever ever go back to the days of my gigantic wide-tooth comb incredibly time consuming old way of combing out my wet hair.

 

 

My Routine

I do not use the Wet Brush in the shower, but you totally could depending on your preferences, but after I shampoo and condition my hair, I squeeze in out with my hands and wrap it in a hair towel (I like this one and this one) but do not rub my hair with the towel because that can damage you hair. I like my hair dry in the hair towel while I apply lotion or sunless tanner, do my nighttime skincare routine, and brush my teeth. Once I am in my pajamas (these are my current favorites) I take my hair out of the towel, squeezing to absorb as much as I can into the towel, and then spray it with any product I am using before combing it out with my Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush. I start at the root of my hair and gently work my way down to my ends.

Which Is Better?

I don’t think you will miss with either brush, but for me the paddle brush has the edge because it makes it even faster for me to brush out my wet hair. I think if your hair is shoulder length of longer the paddle brush is the winner.
