Link Love and a Friday FREEBIE!

by

Happy FRIDAY!

Without further rambling let’s get to the LINKS!

This first one I shall spare you the longass story about. The short version? I inexplicably became OBSESSED with how not white my teeth were about a year ago.

for no apparent reason.

whatsoever.

Until one day I ran into a friend who remarked: the Tornado’s teeth are SO WHITE.

Conundrum explained (read: I dont refer to her as my sidekick for no reason. homegurl and I are barely apart and I was staring at those blinding whites 24/7).

natural solution? mightcould be here.

(want naturalhomemade toothpaste? please to go here!)

This next one *I* adore the promise of because I never get a chance to roll solo in the dressing room.

That said, Im fairly certain I’d love it regardless as there’s nothing like having a living avatar-thingy-ma-bob (the technical term) model your undies fer you in the privacy of your home or office.

Please to enjoy.

File this next link under MizFit needs a sugarmommy and cross-reference under damn she loves the ugly shoes.

I give you these.

Beyond the fact of what’s NOT to love about something referred to as physiological footwear— I long to experience the Masai Barefoot technology.

I need to see for my own feet if they really activate neglected muscles, improve my posture, and reduce stress on my joints in general.

I desire to roll down the street sporting a pair of those sandals.

On an entirely different note (if by ENTIRELY DIFFERENT you mean this is in no way my interest area or skill set—which I do) I give you this.

A site where, as their tagline states, you can COOK IT, FILM IT, SHARE IT.

We all know that the MizFit would be more than thrilled to VIEW IT (and I want to nominate this AMAZING blogger as the woman who should run the site as her videos are funny, helpful, informative, easy to understand and HEALTHY).

LinkLastly, I need to ask you (as there’s no need for you to ask me. Im an open book that way.) DO WE REALLY NEED THIS?

The royal we.

The we who are not training for the Olympics or any kind of professional athletes. The we for whom this mightcould be TMI which trips (the royal) us back to the ED?

Please to discuss.

And, finally, the freebie.

This weeks generousity is brought to you by Run U Mother.

This concept was born when two friends were planning a trip to cheer on a friend running the Marine Corps Marathon.

Shouting “Go Nancy” just didn’t sound as exciting as the phrase they subsequently came up with (Run U Mother!) and a company was created and has been running ever since.

Now, much to MizFit’s delight, they’ve added yoga into the ranks with their new Pose U Mother tank top.

(What would make the MizFit even more delighted? (alltogethernow) LIFT U MOTHER any & everything.)

You can be entered to win a run u mother hat for the low low price of a comment below.

Have at it.

  1. Where are the Knicker Picker models with muffin top apple shapes? That’s my fit. I must check out I’m Cooked as I want to do video for Noshtopia too. So, what doesn’t that Tanita measure? Oh my!

  2. Stephanie? PRECISELY.

    Not that Im suggestion we start an email campaign or anything (*wink*).

    M.

  3. Okay, the name knickerpicker cracks me up! Great set of links, I’ll definitely be checking out I’m cooked.

    Now, that scale is just ridiculous. It seems like it might be a bit over the top for even the professional athlete, and probably not nearly accurate enough for someone of that caliber. For us normal people? Way too much info to freak out about and develop an obsession.

    You may be glad to know that since the last scale convo here, I’ve packed mine away into a closet. I have no idea what I weight right now, and it’s really nice.

  4. As alway, awesome link and I totally forgot you mentioned you were going to ad me. I’m going to add you to my list! ;~)

  5. Gena? IM SO PROUD OF YOU.
    I know, I said it.
    as if my decree to weigh yourself less should be adopted by the masses….but I believe that it should.

    Roni? you’re my cooking-video hero.
    that’s all.
    carry on with yer badself!

    M.

  7. This is my first visit to your site, LOVE IT MizFit! I totally agree with you about Roni, she is not only my cooking-video hero but simply my COOKING HERO! Happy Friday 🙂

  8. I’ll fess up – you all know I want one of those scales now, right?? Fortunately my cheapness outweighs (hee!) my love of number-crunching so i won’t be getting one.

    And MizFit? PLEASE tell me you’ve tried the MBT shoes?? I’ve been looking into getting a pair for a new experiment but they are soooo pricey (and hideous). eBay has some that I’m bidding on but as my limit is 25$ I don’t think I’ll ever get any. Maybe i can experiment thru you!

  9. WELCOME, Katie.
    Here’s hoping you stick around 🙂
    we’re a funsnarkyTELLITLIKEITIS but beyond supportive bunch.

    sadly Charlotte there is zero chance Im getting those shoes.
    I mean, even if I won the lottery I still think Id have too cheap, err, frugal of a mindset to risk it.

    (hello? MBT?? give us both a pair!)

    M.

  10. It’s simple. I HEART YOU, MIZFIT.

    I love when I laugh at your blog and spew La Croix Lime Water all over my keyboard. It’s just the way to begin the morning!

    I can TOTALLY see you sporting those shoes…sprinting through Barnes & Noble chasing the white-toothed Tornado.

  11. okay….i am usually an ugly shoe fan but those really were bad!! i don’t care what they do for you!
    couldn’t find “my” model on the knickerpicker site…oh well!
    would love to sport that u mother hat….it rocks! good luck to me!
    happy friday everyone!

  12. Ah teeth…(little-known fact regarding the Bag Lady – her father was a dentist and she was a dental assistant…)
    You can whiten your teeth at home very simply. Mix a little baking soda with a little hydrogen peroxide and brush with that. Do not swallow this concoction! Brushing with baking soda alone will also help brighten your smile, but takes longer. Put a little baking soda in a flat container, wet your toothbrush and dip it in the soda to brush with.

    Loved your links today! Although those shoes look like an accident waiting to happen to the Bag Lady, as she is such a klutz to begin with (who else would manage to fall off their deck? – am still sporting the spectacular bruises received in that debacle!)

  13. I’m 110% positive that I would suffer some grave injury if I tried to wear those shoes. I can hardly walk in normal sneakers, let alone those things!

    I’m even more certain that, if I were to get that scale, I would find out that I have strangely distributed body fat…like most of it was in my left leg and my right arm was fat free. But I’m paranoid like that.

  14. Ha! I love the Knicker Picker site- I really thin it’s a great concept. Plus, fun to watch while you’re in Starbucks and there are construction workers looking over your shoulder.

  15. I just like the sound of “knicker picker.” The site is fairly useless for me (but I have used those Lands End virtual models–fascinating).

    That scale is EVIL. I’ll be honest and admit, like Charlotte, that I was tempted to want one. Okay, I wasn’t. ED was the one dancing with glee. No worries. I shut him up with a stern Mommy-look.

    And the shoes? Ummm, I’ll just stick with going barefoot all the time. It entertains the neighbors when Lukie and I go for our barefoot walks around the block.

  18. Omigosh is that toothpaste recipe for REAL?! (I think I’m having way too much fun with random homemade things…).

    Those are some sweet shoes. And the Innerscan thing? Totally unnecessary. (But I SO want it).

  19. Let’s see…I tried to close my eyes and balance and found out that my Nana Rose can kick my arse. Now ya want me to try standing up in shoes that scream you’re-gonna-break-ur-friggin-neck-in-these?!! Is this part of a MizFit initiation? Am I being Punk’d????

    Run U Mother — super cute… When I’m lifting in the gym (1 week til competition BTW), my training partner likes yell for giggles “Heave, Ho” not sure that’s PC to put on a t-shirt though.

  20. Kellie? I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU.
    Are you just exhausted?

    I can’t believe you could make me laugh in the lack o’carb state you must be in—–but you did!

    Me? I could barely drive.

    M., who LOVES the ‘Heave, ho!’

  23. Ummm yuck @ that toothpaste recipe.. and thanks for the greenlightbites link.. 🙂 great info there..

    Wow those shoes Umm yeah tell us how they feel.. they just look awfully ugly and uncomfortable!

    Hahaaa @ the Lift U Mother.. that would rock.. lifting completes it all!!!!

  24. knicker picker? wow, there really is a site for everything! and i too love roni’s site, i just wish my stuff turned out like her pictures!

    lift u mother is great!

  25. Good question on the scale. On the one hand, body fat is supposed to be a better measure of health than just the number you weigh. But it does seem super-obsessive. Why can’t we just focus on how we feel?

  26. M, I love the new search bar (it wasn’t there before right?) Bag Lady, I’ve heard that tip before for at home whitening…just never tried it yet!

  27. There is zippy chance I could walk in the ugly shoes without breaking something, but I just might attempt to make some toothpaste just for kicks…

  28. Mizfit…I LOVE this blog. (dunno where I found you but where have you been all my life??)

    Meanwhile, there’s a similar thing to knickerpicker at My Virtual Model. Same idea, but you can tweak it a little to make it look like the “real” you. I think it’s mvm.com

    Thanks for the linky-poos!

  29. I think the Knicker Picker is ingenious, but it feels kinda weird looking on as a live (as opposed to cartoon) woman twirls and poses for me. Ah well, makes it convenient “trying on” the unmentionables.

    Those shoes may look pretty bad, but I would definitely try them, especially with my bum knee and all!

    The scale. Well, I don’t like scales, in general, but I’m not against learning body fat %. My thinking is that sometimes learning body fat shows folks that they really are getting leaner and fitter when they don’ t see weight dropping. In that sense, it is a motivator and keeps them on a healthier track.

    However, just about anything turns ugly when it is taken to the extreme. I can see how this scale might push someone prone to eating disorders down the wrong road.
    Plus, it’s really not necessary to check your body fat every single day! I can imagine folks getting obsessed with the numbers! With these cases, the scale isn’t promoting health!

  31. It keeps eating my comment… but I wan’t the Omron version of that scale, $70 on amazon!

  32. i have wanted the mbt shoes for-evah but can’t bring myself to buy them.

    Please, MBT, donate them as a Friday Freebieeeeeeee!

    (also cracking up over here at the Heave, Ho! bit. Hilarious)

  33. Those mbt shoes intrigue me and scare me at the same time. There’s some chain of shoestores where they push them relentlessly, and they’re expensive, but the sales pitch made me curious. Not curious enough to spring for them, but curious.

    And yeah they are, um, pretty damn ugly.

  34. ok, Crabby Im LAUGHING that you are an early riser as am I.

    did my bullmastiff Hercules wake yer ass as well?

    happy weekend and here’s to our getting some mbts for free simply because they love our sites—

    M.

  35. I don’t think my girls would be seen with me if I was wearing those shoes!
    Love you the Run U Mother! I could use a hat like that to hide my drenched hair when I go to Kerbey Lane for breakfast after a long run!!

  36. I just realized that you live only an hour from me. I might actually run into you some day when I’m out shopping in the “big city”. I might swoon!

    I love the shirts. I may have to get one for myself!

  37. I believe the Scale is a Device to confuse the mind and should not be used more then once every month if that. The eye is more powerful then the numbers which pop up when you step on it. I think a glance or 2 coming out of the shower will let you know if you have been doing the work or not:).

    Stay Natural… Stay Strong!
