Item of the Week: Epiphany Tank

Here's a great tank for summer by Brooks that I saw in City Sports store today. It's also available online at Brooks, click title for link. The Epiphany tank retails for about $32.00 and comes in 4 cool colors. A major selling point for this item is it's green image and cool style. The tank is made up of 50% recycled polyester. It wicks moisture and has a small storage pocket at the side. Check it out!

Item of the Week: Challenger Short

Hi Again,

While I was perusing articles on womenshealth.com I came across this company called Born Fit. They feature a wide variety of athletic products that are high quality and stylish designed for active moms. The site as educates women on heart health and gives a portion of the proceeds to the American Heart Association. pretty cool?

Here is a nice short that comes in a poly spandex blend, has a decent length inseam (not too short) and has a pocket for your i-pod/mp3 player. It retails for 39 dollars on the site and comes in black and charcoal.

What do you think of the wide waistband and seam panels through the thigh?

Slimming? stylish? you decide...
