One of my favorite 5k fun runs (with a giveaway, don’t miss it at bottom of post), Spartan Race savings, delicious yummy and healthy treats, adventure clothes and fitness wear I love. Read on to find out all this and more “Things I’m Loving for September.”
Schlotzsky’s Bun Run (+ Giveaway): Get your buns in gear for the 36th Schlotzsky’s Bun Run going down at the Domain in Austin, Texas at 8am Saturday, September 23rd. This is such great family fun run, I’ve participated MANY years – it’s a welcoming, just-the-right-size race (IMO) for serious runners to joggers and walkers alike. Plus, there is a Kid’s 1k, Team Challenge, and even and pets are welcome to compete for the title of “Fastest Dog” in Austin.
Another good thing that gets a thumbs up in my book, proceeds from the race will go directly to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to benefit both the national and local chapters. You can register HERE and also enter my giveaway at the bottom of this post to win 1 of 5 free entries I have to share!

prAna: I have sooo much love for this eco-friendly brand of clothes that fit my fun-fitness-adventure-travel casual lifestyle. My closet and drawers are stuffed full of swimsuits, sundresses, jeans and all the cut things – I really appreciate how prAna uses organic and/or recycled materials and places a high value on fair trade. My obsession with the brand isn’t a one-way affair and I always tell people that “prAna loves the planet and it’s people, and prAna loves me.” It’s true! And, let me tell you’re their new Cozy Up line for fall is just the snuggliest . . . pants, jackets, sweatshirts and more in Cardiff fleece made from hemp and recycled materials. Ridiculously comfy. You can save 20% on any full price purchase at prAna.com with my special discount code JFISprAna25
Reveri Frozen Desserts: You know it’s going to be a great day when pints of frozen goodness show up on your doorstep from Reveri. It was 106 outside, so I was thrilled to see the dry ice had kept the four different flavors of Reverie frozen and ready to dig into – Vanilla Almond Blossom, Purple Mint Chip, Chocolate Forest and Strawberry Patch. I think my favorite is a scoop of the Chocolate WITH a scoop of the Strawberry! This healthier option to traditional ice cream is completely vegan (so dairy free), gluten-free, and has no added sugar – only that from the fruits. Plus, each serving provides up to 30 to 40% of the RDA for dietary fiber, that’s an awesome boost for the days when I didn’t get all of my normal intake of salad or veggies. Check them out HERE.
ON Protein Almonds & Cake Bites: First of all, HELLLO Cake Bites from Optimum Nutrition, I love how I can have my cake and eat it too! This anytime snack offers 20g of quality whey protein (for less that 250 calories and under 5g sugar) divided up among three mini “cakes” in each package. I really appreciate how I can just grab one, two or all three depending on my hunger level. Plus, I left a package in my gym bag and even though they have a “rich frosted coating,” it didn’t get all melty. Another NEW yummy snack I’ve been craving from this same company are their Protein Almonds available in three amazing flavors. We all know almonds are a great snack, but this protein-boosted snack elevated with a chocolatey coating (swoon) offers double the amount – 10g per serving (with under 230 calories and 1 to 2g sugar, depending on flavor). Check out Optimum Nutrition and all their protein performance products!
Booty Shawl: Genius! Bootie Shawl is a quick-to-slip-on little skirt that you can wear over your gym tights, leggings, or skinny jeans. It’s perfect for me on those days when I have a run or workout and then head straight into errands and I want to look cute without having my butt hanging out all over the place. The brand is all about fun and confidence, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to fee FUN and CONFIDENT at my next yoga class in this outfit below! Check out Booty Shawl HERE
