Born to Run

Thanks to everyone's comments and interest in my store - both on my blog, Facebook, and in person. I'm hoping to have it open to the public sometime in July (fingers crossed, will keep you posted).
I mentioned yesterday how a few things are being neglected while I set up shop, one being my fitness. I really miss my running - I'm staying up at night way too late, and not able to get up early enough for my morning jog. When I get back to it these are some of my running essentials...

Yurbuds - the most awesome ear buds that fit over your normal ipod earphones. Designed by an Ironman Triathlete and a 24-time marathoner, they never fall out, and it doesn't even feel like you're wearing anything. Take it from me, they are fantastic!
iPod Nano - of course the yurbuds are no good without an ipod.
Inspirational Music - load up your iPod with some really motivational tunes. My favourites to run to are "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor (go Rocky!) and Rihana.
Lorna Jane clothes - these are the best clothes for working out, super comfy and super stylish.
Nike running shoes - you definitely need good running shoes if you're hitting the pavements.
Running buddy - Sam is my perfect running buddy. She's always ready when I am, great company, and she doesn't mind that I listen to my music and don't talk to her!

It's a dog's life

This is our beautiful dog, Sam. She is a much cherished part of our family. And you can see her on her camo bed, which she loves. But, although it's hard wearing, washable, and comfy, it doesn't quite fit in with my decor (note, photo on bed is pre-reno days!). I searched high & low for a "prettier" dog's bed, but I couldn't find anything.
Just recently I have come across two different websites that sell beautiful dog's beds, 
and I think I might have to purchase one - the camo bed can become her outside bed. 
I'm just trying to decide between the Pretty Floral Lily bed from Ada & Darcy, and the 
green Title Track dog duvet from Molly Mutt.


PS: I just received an email from the lovely people at Molly Mutt. They are very happy to post their beds to New Zealand, and are really curious to know which designs you all like. Please let me know so I can pass it on to them.
