Getting In Shape

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Are you planning on getting in shape this year?

A lot of people are getting back on track to getting in shape and one of the best ways to do that is walking! Whether your walking includes around your block or the track at the lake you’ll be off to a good start if you start with a good pair of walking shoes.

We love New Balance. We’ve been wearing New Balance shoes for years and their walking shoes are top notch.

A great place to get your shoes is NBNorthShore.com, an online New Balance store. The selection is unbelievable. They carry over 10,000 pairs of shoes in stock! You’ll have no trouble ordering and receiving just the right pair for you.

This is MY favorite pair:

Pink Shoes

Pink Shoes

It’s an online exclusive! You won’t find this deal anywhere but here! It’s the New Balance WW558WP, women’s walking shoe. It comes in many widths too, all the way from a narrow 4A to a really wide 4E. It’s cushioned, has the Abzorb heel, is very affordable AND it has a pink logo! They’re the perfect for power walking with your neighborhood lady friends. They’ll be envious and will certainly want to know where you found them.

Don’t be stingy and keep the secret to yourself! Tell them New Balance North Shore

Prices for these quality walkers range from around $40 in the clearance section to just over a hundred. Styles range from high stability, Velcro closures, solid black, white and tan as well as colored logo ones similar to the pair I’ve chosen.

You can even find New Balance Rock and Tone shoes! These are all the rage right now among smart walkers. You get the rocking motion that helps tone your muscles, from your calves, to your glutes to your core.

Whatever your style you can find it at the New Balance North Shore’s online store. Don’t put off getting into shape any longer. Start out with the proper foundation, a new pair of New Balance walking shoes, and you’ll be sure to go far.

Let’s get walking!

Paper Mate’s New Biodegradable Items

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Paper Mate, always a forerunner in innovation, has created a pen and mechanical pencil that is made with biodegradable components.

You’ll write green when you use a Paper Mate biodegradable pen. Did you realize that just in the US over 12 MILLION writing instruments are sold? Just the sheer volume of the use tells us that something needed to be done. That’s a lot of leftover product, and Paper Mate has helped solve the issue.

The parts of the new BIO-pen are made from plant-derived sugar. Once the pen is no longer usable, you take the biodegradable parts and bury them or add them to compost. They decompose naturally in about a year. As an added bonus the pens themselves come in a recyclable package.

Let’s all write green with Paper Mate!
