About a month ago while scrolling through Facebook I came across a post about a sea turtle who had a straw stuck up its nose. There was a video of someone with pliers trying to gently pull it out while the turtle bled from his nostrils. It broke my heart. Many remember the scene in “Finding Nemo” where Crush answers how long do sea turtles live, 152 years! I think back 152 years ago, straws weren’t even invented yet. Now all these years later over 500 million straws are tossed out A DAY!!! [continue reading…]
Wow, I’ve gotten behind with these monthly recaps, with my last one being in April! Our May was crazy. And June is now just a blur. It’s now 8:50 am on July 31st and my to-do list has grown to epic proportions, but I need some chat-time before getting back to work. Setting the timer now for 30 minutes, let’s do this.
Btw, can I say how much I’m loving Grammarly? It’s already found and corrected two errors thus far. Anyway, moving on to:
Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you’re having an AMAZING summer and that you’re enjoying every single sunny day! Ours has been wonderful so far … and August is going to be FANTASTIC!! More on that later. For now, here are some announcements and chit-chats. 🙂
OOFOS Project Pink!
Not only have I been a HUGE fan of OOFOS sandals for a long time … they still top my list of best recovery shoe EVER … but I’m also grateful to OOFOS for thinking of Joyful Miles! Jackey has already blogged about her love for OOFOS in March and recently, we received gorgeous sandals to promote Project Pink!

I wasn’t going to do it. Nope, I wasn’t going to opt-in for any BibRave product reviews in July and August since I’m trying to take a summer hiatus in order to finish a novel, spend more time with family, chill, travel, etc. But then the opportunity to try Shady Rays sunglasses popped up.
Happy Saturday, everyone, we hope you’re having an amazing summer! Jackey and I are doing something different this year. We’re taking an official podcast hiatus for the rest of July and August, giving ourselves more time to be with family, work on projects, travel, and enjoy the sunshine!
We’ll be back in September with brand-new, bi-weekly podcast episodes! Until then, you can catch up with previous episodes on Podbean or iTunes and follow our shenanigans on Instagram and Twitter. Or, come hang out with us and other Joyful Milers at our JM Running Club Facebook group!
