Stay Hydrated while running or walking




Lately I have been seeing a lot of people walking and running with what looks like a fanny pack with water bottles attached, at first I thought they were weights, but later found out they were hydration belts.

Great idea for the avid walker or runner, even a hiker might find this useful. What I didn't like was how small this was. This barely fits my 12 year old who isn't fat at all, and fits my 7 year old fine but she is small for her age, so like I said in the video on my Youtube page which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH7Dl5mhV5I, I hope these companies start making products for the average to obese person to encourage them to get out and be active.

This is great for both runner, hikers, walkers, sports, or even if you are out traveling so you have your water and money near by. The pouch is super roomy enough for your money, cell phone, and ID with a little extra left over.

You can find the Amsana running hydration belt on Amazon.

Running Belt


Personally I am not a runner, never have been, never will be. It is just one sport I am not to take part in due to my kidney problems. My children however do not have kidney problems so I have always encouraged them to do the one thing I can not do and that is to run.

So far all of my children have been in youth and school sports, as well as staying active outside of school. I don't think they understand how proud I am of their accomplishments. With my children being active I try to make sure they have the right equipment for their different sport endeavors.

The DAODAO running belt is a nice accessory to have to hold your music player/ phone, as well as money or any other small items you might need for your run, like bandaids. I really like that this was adjustable for my growing 12 year old. She will be able to use this for years to come and it will adjust to her size.

This belt also is reflective to help with motorists being able to see her if she runs at night. This isn't something she does yet but her older sister who is 21 does run at night and this would also be a great item for her.

Even if you do not run this is a great belt for walking around a theme park, county fair, garage sales, etc.


You can purchase this running belt on Amazon.



  • 1. Size: The bigger compartment inner space rough size: 7.87" * 3.34", the small compartment inner space rough size: 5.11" *2.75".

    2. Grey Reflective Stripes: The belt includes reflective tabs for high visibility so that you can running safely at night. The in front of the bag includes a waterproof earphone jack for your earphones to slide easily through.

    3. Material: The main body of the Running Belt consists of lightweight neoprene. This kind of material is Anti-wear, Anti-deformation, Anti-dust, Anti-static. The waterproof neoprene material keeps your belongings dry. The addition of the mesh fabric allows for a breathable, yet waterproof material. Easily washable and quickly drying.

    4. Outfitted with two zippered compartments that will fit your money, keys, credit cards, passport, smartphone and other valuables. Two mesh pockets in the bigger compartment will help you separate different currencies or credit cards. And the part of Zippers is waterproof.

Phantom Fit Reflective Vest



My daughters like to run, play, etc outside, sometimes in the summer they are a bit late getting home and I want to make sure they are safe. With the Phantom Fit Reflective Vest I can make sure that cars are going to see them which should keep my little ones from getting hit. Mind you I still call my 6 foot 2, and our 2 daughter who are both taller then my husband and myself munchkins. 

They are far from being munchkins but a mother making sure her babies are safe never ends. With that being said when I had my 12 year old try this one the first thing she said is that slow people where these. I had to stop her and remind her of all of the people around us who wear these are something close to these. Firemen, Policemen, Road workers, etc, and she started to get it that very important people wear these to stay safe while they are on the roads. 

I explained to her she is important and if she wants to run close to dark with her older sister I want to make sure she as safe as can be. Spring is coming and my children are more then ready to be able to play outside again after a long winter cooped up inside. 

The Phantom Fit Reflective Vest is a vest that can be adjusted up and down to fit either my 7 year old or my 12 year old and will probably fit my 20 year old as well. It does have a little give, kind of like big suspenders and clicks almost like a baby car seat, very durable looking. 


You can purchase Phantom Fit Reflective Vest on Amazon.
