Thanks so much everyone!! You all are the best!! :)
Last month, I was in the thick of training for my first marathon and my knees had been bothering me something fierce! I had been sitting in my recliner icing my knees and surfing the internet and blogworld after a 20 mile long run when I came across Tommie Copper.
Tommie Copper was founded by Tom Kallish who suffered a traumatic accident requiring multiple surgeries on his back, knees, and hips leaving him with chronic debilitating arthritic pain. He created Tommie Copper compression wear, with multi-directional support and copper-infused yarn, because he could only find uncomfortable, restrictive, and bulky medical compression.
Copper has been used as medicine for thousands of years to treat inflammation, stimulate the immune system to fight infections, repair injured tissues, and to promote healing. To read more about it CLICK HERE.
Here is a list of all their products and their retail prices:
Tommie Copper sent me two knee compression sleeves and a women’s compression shirt to try out. As soon as I got them, I tried them on and couldn’t believe how comfortable and non-restricting they were!! They don’t feel as tight as some compression wear, but believe me… they work!!
Fast forward a couple weeks and I had just finished running my first marathon… believe me, my knees were killing me!! I put on my recovery compression socks along with my Tommie Copper Compression Knee Sleeves and in no time at all, the pain I was experiencing dulled to a mere ache. I wore them the rest of the day then to bed, and the next morning when I took them off, I was pleasantly surprised that I was WAY LESS sore than I had expected!
Tommie Copper can reduce pain associated with:
Back Pain ~ Sore Shoulders ~ Arthritis ~ Tennis Elbow ~ Tendonitis ~ Carpal Tunnel ~ Ankle Sprains ~ Runner’s Knee ~ Pulled Calf ~ AND most muscle circulatory, and inflammatory conditions…
I LOVE my Tommie Copper apparel!! All their products are reasonably priced, come in an assortment of colors, and are comfortable enough to wear 24 hours a day! If you are experiencing pain of any sort, especially from those listed above, please head over to Tommie Copper’s Website HERE and see how wonderfully their products work for yourself!! :)
If you’ve tried Tommy Copper, what do you think about their products?
NOTE: DO NOT use dryer sheets with your Tommie Copper wear because the silicone in them will adhere to the copper and the product won’t work to it’s full potential!
Thank you Tommie Copper for allowing me to review your products!!

3. Remember THIS POST where I told you all that I had quit my job? Well… I didn’t want to say anything until I had actually worked a few days and knew that I actually had one, but …
I HAVE A JOB!!! I am now a substitute teacher for about 7 schools in the surrounding county and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! I’ve worked as an ESL teacher (English as a Second Language), a 3rd grade teacher, and an MH Aide (Working with kids who have a Mental Handicap of some sort) to name a few of my favorites. :) This job is so much more rewarding and less stressful than my previous job, and I pretty much get to pick my work schedule and where I want to work.
4. School… I have mixed feelings… I enjoy the classes and that I’m finally actually going to school for what I want to do for the rest of my life (ASL Interpreting), but one of my classes is really kicking my butt… I don’t know why, but my brain just fogs up… I get all the terminology and concepts, and it’s not like I’m getting bad grades… I actually have an A in the class… but for some reason my mind just feels foggy and slushy when I’m studying or doing a project… Yeah… Personal sharing at it’s finest ;)
5. I AM working on a Columbus Marathon race recap for you, I promise!! lol… Hope to have it up in the next week :) (school comes first) ;) Here’s proof that I actually did finish… in case you were having doubts ;)
BONUS: 3 people have gotten to my blog by Google searching “dress butt poof” lol… yeah… no comment ;)
Last month, Go Girl Sport sent me their Vortex V-Neck t-shirt to review. Mercedes and Stephanie came up with Go Girl Sport in 2006 while they were on an 11-mile run. They wanted to do something related to what they loved doing and came up with quality fashion athletic wear designed, created, and tested by women for women.
THEIR MOTTO: Go Girl Sport is the athletic apparel brand for women who dare to be different.
FRONT BACK
Here is what their website says about the Vortex V-neck:
Our Vortex V was designed to maximize both form and function. Stylish contrast stitching adds a subtle touch of flair to our white performance T. Mesh panels provide superior ventilation and an added touch of style. Seams are sewn flat and offset from areas that are prone to chafe. Moisture wicking fabric ensures you'll stay cool while working up a sweat. Pairs well with: Tuxedo Skort
_____________________________________________________
This shirt is very comfortable… the seams are offset to minimize chafing and the mesh panels let in just the right amount of breeze to keep you cool and dry during your workout. It holds up great in the wash and I didn’t have any problems with the colors bleeding onto the white of the shirt or any of my other clothes.
Stephanie and Mercedes did a great job making a fashionable, functional workout top for active women. It retails for $45 and is available in 5 different colors, 4 of which are limited edition colors. What’s even more awesome about Go Girl Sport is they are offering one of these awesome shirts to one of my awesome followers! :)
