The Color Run, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality.
Now the single largest event series in the world, The Color Run has exploded since our debut event. We have more than tripled our growth, hosting more than 300 events in 50+ countries in 2014.

My husband, son, and I did The Color Run this past Saturday. The weather was BEAUTIFUL (high 60s with no rain!). This was my sons first race and he jogged/walked the entire race-I’m so proud of him! We all had so much fun! Unlike last year, there was plenty of color in each station even with us being in the last wave. I loved the additions to this years race-SHINE packets (silver glitter) and race medals at the end. PERFECT!

I’ve done The Color Run for 3 years in a row now, and this was the best year. I can’t wait for next year! Here are some pictures from Saturday.

Everyone in 2015 will receive a limited edition Shine Tour Participant Kit, including: custom race tee, gold finisher’s medal, tricolor headband w/ silver stitching, brand-new shine packet, and shiny tattoos. Talk about “bling” with benefits!

Elite Man Multivitamins for Men – All-in-one Formula Helps Boost Energy, Enhance Focus & Stamina – 90 Tablets
by Vitamin Elite

My husband has been taking 3 of these green multivitamins a day as directed and has almost finished the entire bottle. They are pretty large to swallow, but no weird taste swallowing them or aftertaste. He likes that this Elite Man Multivitamin has so many essential vitamins and minerals in just one capsule. Although he’s taken almost the entire bottle, he hasn’t noticed any differences-positive or negative-so this isn’t something he would buy. It may work for you though.

#1 Brightest & Best Power Tek Flash LED CREE Headlamp Flashlight w/ Red Lights – Waterproof, Long Battery Life, Adjustable Beam, Durable, Lightweight, Easy to Use, Lifetime Warranty
by Power Tek

My husband has been using this headlamp outside after it gets dark so he can see to walk around the yard. He loves the three light settings and how bright the light is. He also mentioned he liked that the light can be adjusted up and down and that once adjusted, it clicks into place and doesn’t move around. I like that the head band is adjustable to fit any size head and won’t slip down. The only complaint my husband had, was that he wished the buttons on the top were bigger so he could find them better in the dark.

We are both really pleased with this headlamp and can’t wait to use it more this year for camping and hiking. This is also a great item to keep in an emergency bag for the car or preparedness survival bag.

MULTIFLEX EXCEL Joint and Muscular Pain Relief Support Supplement
by Excel Nutritionals

I exercise daily, as well as taking family walks and doing yard work, so I consider myself very active. When my knees bother me after working out (which they often do!), I’ve been taking 1 capsule of these supplements (instead of Advil or Tylenol) and it STOPS the pain! I have only had to take 1 capsule for my minor knee pain or back pain. The directions indicate that you can take more than 1 capsule after 4-6 hours.

I am thrilled that this product has worked for me and I love that it has natural ingredients in it! I have used Arnica separately and it hasn’t been effective for me, so I love that this product has Arnica and other products as well. The capsule is easy to swallow and doesn’t taste like anything.

This will be something I plan to take on a regular basis and I would highly recommend this to others who suffer from joint or muscle pain. Love this Multiflex Excel supplement!
