I finally won something!!
I may have mentioned this before, but I have been getting SheSheMe email newsletters for a few years now and I love them. It’s a fun little newsletter that is written in narrative form and links to tons of awesome fashion trends and gives me great ideas. Being an email marketer for all those years, I know how unusual it is for a newsletter reader to click on every single link in a newsletter, but I can assure that most of the time I do click on every one, and sometimes I save them to go back and click again.
I would love to see their metrics
I wonder if I am weird or if everyone clicks that much?

When they started the SheSheMe blog, where you can ask fashion advice, I immediately followed it too. I even wrote to “SheShe” in 2007 when we were going to San Francisco for her advice on comfortable, stylish shoes that didn’t look like sneakers. (I ended up with some Clarks and they worked great!)

Recently the blog ran a contest for the best fitness tip with the prize being a pair of Reebok EasyTone sneakers. My current sneakers are on their last leg, and I’ve been walking even more during this pregnancy since it’s low-impact and free. Of course, I am still using the balance ball as my desk chair while working from home, so that is the fitness tip I submitted!

Side note: A recent bonus I have found to using the balance ball is that it really helps with the back pain I’ve started to have. If I sit on the balance ball instead of a chair… no more back pain! Woo hoo!

I am super excited to have won this contest, and looking forward to trying out the shoes! They are built in a way that is supposed to tone your calves and thighs more than the regular shoes, even when just walking normally. I can use all the help I can get!

Thanks, SheSheMe! Now, everyone go visit the site and sign up for the newsletter!
