Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: Your six favorites from 2021?. Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
Here are my six favorites from 2021.
Honey Stinger Rapid Hydration Mix
This was my best product find of 2021. So far I’ve tried the Strawberry Lemonade and Pomegranate Passionfruit flavors and they are both great. I love to drink this for my harder workouts such as bootcamps or longer runs. I always feel hydrated and energized when I drink it during those types of workouts.
Blue Sky Painted Rainbow Multicolor Weekly & Monthly Planner
Although I’m using the planner this year, I purchased it in 2021 so it counts 🙂 I really like this planner for tracking my workouts. It’s designed perfectly for what I like to keep track of when it comes to my workouts. I will definitely purchased this again for 2023.
My planner for the year
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 Multi-Color Sneakers
I love everything about these sneakers – the pattern, the fit, the cushioning. It’s very rare to find the ‘perfect’ sneaker, but this one is pretty darn close.
Peloton Tread+
We got the treadmill in the Spring and it’s probably the one piece of workout equipment that I use most often. I use it for runs, walks, hikes and most importantly, bootcamps. I love the large screen – it makes taking classes so much easier. Also I think the slated belt has keep away my knee pain.
SYROKAN Women’s Front Adjustable Racerback High Impact Workout Sports Bra
Brooks Running discontinued my favorite Moving Comfort sports bra so I was on a quest to find a similar style that I would like. I stumbled upon this brand on Amazon and decided to try it out and the sports bra worked really well. I also love that it’s available in tons of colors and it’s very affordable too.
Every now and then I like to try out new haircare products. I first found out about this haircare line on social media and then a few of my friends tried it and gave it great reviews. The power of the brand is Tracee Ellis Ross. I had high hopes for the products since she has gorgeous hair, so if she uses the products, they must be good! I ordered a few of the travel size version of products, just to test it out, and I’m glad that I did as it’s now my new favorite hair care brand.
Tell me: What were your six favorite things from 2021?

Topic for next week – What did you think about on your last run? We hope you’ll link up with us!
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the rapid hydration from Nuun. The fact that it’s so quick is nice, but the taste seems off to me. It’s definitely convenient though, so it will get used!
Those Brooks shoes would make me smile. 🙂
I used Nuun a few years ago and loved it, but then it started messing with my stomach. I used Tailwind for a few years but now I really love the Honey Stinger Rapid Hydration.
Brooks make the best looking shoes. I wish they worked for me.
I only drink water and eat GU. I recently tried Honey stinger gel. It wasn’t bad.
I’m a Handful bra fan. Hope they don’t stop making the one I wear.
Continue to enjoy your tread. It’s perfect for you.
I wish I could still use gels. For some reason my stomach started revolting against them the last time I did a race.
Nice that you’re using the treadmill so often, Kim! So many people buy a piece of equipment and then, a few weeks later, it’s only used for hanging up clothes.
The investment was definitely worth it for you. Have you ever counted the weekly hours you spend on it?
One thing about me is that I like to make sure I get my money worth when purchasing products because I hate wasting money, lol. I haven’t counted the amount of hours I spend on it – I should do that every few months!
Brooks Adrenaline shoes are my absolute faves! And the pattern you have is so gorgeous and vibrant! I love trying new hair products so I will look out for that brand too! While I was in Ghana I got raw shea butter from the market – they say Ghana is the home of shea butter so can’t wait to try it out!
Ohh raw shea butter sounds amazing! I would love to try that out.
Hooray for the Peloton Tread – I wish I had space for it!
I’ve been running in GTS’s myself and love them, although I think I am going back to the Levitate next time around.
I haven’t tried the Levitate sneakers but I feel like I should test them out eventually!
The Tread is definitely awesome! Those shoes look so cool. Brooks always has fun patterns and colors for their shoes. I have a couple of Glycerins in my rotation right now!
I love Brooks because they always have awesome colors and patterns!
Those are a fantastic pattern on the Brooks shoes. I am also a pen and paper calendar girl I just like to see it all written out together. There were some good things to come out of 2021 🙂
Thanks! I really love bright colors so those sneakers are my current favorite ones to run in.
Nice collection of favorites! I don’t think I’ve seen those Adrenalines…totally cute! I didn’t realize the Pelo Tread had the slated belt… I wonder if that would make a difference for me? My body does not like the treadmill any more than my mind does ,LOL.
I received those sneakers as a Christmas gift but I had been eyeing them for months, lol. I think the slated belt makes a hug difference in my opinion. I haven’t had any knee of leg pain in months and the run feels very smooth.
Glad you are using the treadmill. I bought a treadmill but I used it few times because here the weather is always good and I prefer to run outdoor. However it was very useful when I had to recover after the fracture of my leg.
Brooks is my favorite brand for running shoes. I wear the Ghosts.
That’s great that you were able to use the treadmill when you were recovering from your leg energy. It definitely has it perks!
You have a good collection of favorites! I’m also loving my planner this year- it’s bigger than yours so I use it for everything (workouts and the rest of life) but in the past I’ve had one similar to yours.
i also wish I could wear Brooks but I need more room for my fat feet. i’ve been loving the Hoka Cliftons this year- it’s great when you find a running shoe that really works for you!
That’s awesome that you can use your planner for everything. I don’t really do much besides exercise and work (I work from home) so right now I just use the planner for workouts, lol. I have a few friends that love running in their Hoka Cliftons!
Love those shoes! I do wish the pattern was available in the Ghost or Launch. I ended up buying the bra as well but returned it since it didn’t work for me. Something about the fit. Maybe I bought the wrong size? So jealous of your treadmill and hopefully soon I can buy one. However, it won’t be a Tread+, bummer but that is OK.
Yes the sizing is always hard to gauge when it comes to sports bras. I hope that Peloton will eventually start making the Tread+ again.
Yay on the tread also helping your knee!
YOur sneakers might be my favorite of your 2021 purchases too. Just so fun
Isn’t it amazing what a good bra can do? I just “discovered” Athleta and where have they been all my life?
I’m pretty obsessed with those sneakers too, lol. I need to stop wearing them for all my runs so that I can make them last a little longer.
