Cascade designs has some new technology in their snowshoes line-up.  The MSR Women’s Lightning Axis Snowshoes  has the first bilateral binding adjustment to correct toe in or toe out stride. Their new binding technology called SpeedLock, is designed to set the binding up at home and then at the trail just kick your foot in, adjust the heel strap and you are ready to go.

I have been wearing the Mercury Tights for both day hikes and on a few biker rides.  However, more of the former since I don’t like to ride when it gets much below 50 F, and for the past month, the high has only made into the 50s a few times, and those days were usually rainy.  One such day hike came on December the 14th, two days after we had a pretty decent snow by Alabama standards.  With the cold temps the snow stayed on the ground several days so I considered myself lucky to get a chance to walk to the holler with snow still on the ground.  To read the rest of the updated please click here.

For the past month I have been enjoying my daily java in the Aladdin Transform Recycled and Recyclable Mug.

This mug is made with recycled plastics, BPA free, dishwasher/microwave safe, and is good for the environment.

Check out how I am liking this mug here.

The Platypus SoftBottle has been nearly everywhere with me for the past few months.  I have found it to be one of the most versatile hydration devices I have ever used.  From backpacking to day hiking, carrying it around campus, and athletic events, the Platypus SoftBottle has proved to be worth the while.  Check here for my latest update.

Another month has gone by and I am still happy with my EarthLust Stainless Steel Bottle. For the most part I use the bottle everyday. I take it with me to the gym, to work, on fitness walks, and on hikes.

This bottle is made of a high food grade stainless steel, non-toxic paint, and no BPA. Plus it looks really cool!

Check out how I am enjoying it here.

I’ve had the past couple of months to review the Princeton Tec Byte.  So far I have been impressed and have found some features that I won’t do without with my next headlamp purchase.  Check out my latest review on the Princeton Tec Byte headlamp here.

Stylishly awesome snowshoes that are specifically made for women? How can a snow-trekking woman go wrong?

I am fortunate enough to have received three fantastic products from
Elemental Herbs:  All Good Lips, Herbal Cool, and All Good Goop.  Elemental Herbs owner Caroline Duell developed these products with a great vision in mind; to harness the natural powers of the environment’s purest, most elemental ingredients and organic herbs in order to offer natural healing products that are good for people and good for the earth.  I have given all three products the once over and they seem to be very high quality.  I will use them on almost a daily basis and look forward to the benefits that they can provide.

Even with the record amount of rain we received in Southern California over the past few weeks; I was still able to enjoy a few sunny days in the outdoors protecting myself with the Badger Face Stick. I used the face stick on three long mountain bike rides lasting over four hours and while walking at the beach.
