    • Just Do It – Giveaway

      Posted at 5:00 AM by Brittany, on July 27, 2016

      **This giveaway is now closed, and the winner has been notified**

      Before I started my new job I really wanted to prioritize a few more adventures, and I went on a marvelous 9 mile journey to the summit of Tunnel Creek Trail. I wrangled a buddy so I wasn’t alone (you’re welcome mom and dad), and despite having my bag full of essentials I was missing one thing.

      I forget this item often, despite the fact that I have three pair in my car – sunglasses. You see dear readers it’s mostly cloudy in my beautiful state, and the thought of sunglasses doesn’t pass my mind until it’s sometimes too late.

      I find that clouds, much like with snow, almost require sunglasses more than the actual sun. Almost. With that said I’m often prepared with 9/10 of the 10 essentials for hiking.

      Last year I snagged myself a fun pair of Ray-Ban’s which I adore, but I find that I need to wear a hat with them as they don’t provide proper coverage on the sides. If I wear them out and about too long my eyes will hurt, and I don’t always want to wear a hat when I run.

      Naturally this meant I needed another pair, so my friends over at Sunglasses Shop hooked me up! Say hello to the Nike Excellerate Sunglasses.

      I’m living for that case.

      These sunnies wrap around the side of my eyes so much better. I’ve worn them on multiple runs and they are SO lightweight I barely notice they are on. I also find that I don’t squint at all with these. They’re perfect for running! Or any other sport you partake in. A bit of info on this frame:

      Excellerate is made to fit women’s faces. Its frame is smaller. Nike MAX Optics allow eyes to see clearly without distortion. A polycarbonate lens gives crisp views and the greatest impact protection. Durable wrapped arms provide the best side protection. Plus it gives a comfortable fit. UV400 lenses. Nike sunglasses come with a two year warranty.

      But how do they actually look on a human face?

      My one and only critic of these shades is that I wish the lenses were darker. You can see my eyes, which means I can’t stare at good looking male runners without getting caught.

      They’re super comfortable though and do exactly what I needed. If you are in the market for a new pair of sunnies, check out Sunglasses Shop. However if you’re in the market for a new pair of Nike sunnies then it may be your lucky day because one reader will win a free pair.

      I can now venture back to the forest prepared for the overcast, or the sun.

      This was the summit, though you’d never know with those clouds covering the view.

    • Ray-Ban’s for Me, Ray-Ban’s for You

      If I were to stand in a small room with hot pads covering my feet, and a heating fan blowing onto my face while I gazed out of a window the size of a mini home, I’d think I was in Arizona. My English teachers would cringe at that run-on sentence.

      The sun exposure we’ve had the last few weeks has been out of this world. Amazing.

      When it comes to sun precautions I tend to be a bit careless carefree. I don’t wear sunscreen as often as I should, I live for tank tops in the summer, and am often caught without sunglasses. This not only sets me up to look like a walrus by the time I’m 30 due to all the squinting I do, but my eyes aren’t being protected the way they should.

      Like our skin, our eyes are at risk of overexposure to UV rays. The longer our eyes are exposed to solar radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts or macular degeneration. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to be able to see all my food before I stuff it into my face for the rest of my life.

      Blurry vision equals less tasty meals.

      I’ve been due for a new pair of sunnies to run/hike/explore in for a while now, and I finally got myself a pair of Ray-Ban Sunglasses. I needed something sporty enough to withstand my active lifestyle, but higher quality than a $10 pair of thrown together scrap metal. So I settled on the Justin frame and they’re absolutely perfect.

      For those of you that swear by online shopping you’re in luck. I got these from Sunglasses Shop and chose my shades from the comfort of my own home. Aka I was drinking coffee while petting my cats with my feet. Multitasking at its best. Their customer service was great, and their delivery was FAST!

      If you’re not into Ray-Bans, they also sell these name brand sunglasses.

      HOWEVER, if you ARE into Ray-Bans then today is your lucky day. Thanks to the kind folks over at Sunglasses shop one lucky reader will win a snazzy new pair of Ray-Ban sunnies. Like..fo free. No purchases necessary. WIN. ALL YOURS.

      You can choose a Ray-Ban frame from the collection – excluding Polarised/Titanium and Limited Edition frames.
      Say Whuuuuuuuut?!
